Descrierea itinerarului aparține operatorului Polar Latitudes și este redată în limba engleză. Programul se adaptează la vreme, gheață și reglementările locale.

Day 1: Reykjavik, Iceland – Embarkation

Our adventure begins in Iceland’s vibrant capital, Reykjavik. Famous for its modern Nordic culture, excellent food scene, and relaxed atmosphere, Reykjavik is the ideal starting point for our Arctic adventure. After boarding the ship, guests will enjoy dinner and champagne as we set sail out of Faxaflói Bay, following ancient Norse sea routes towards the wild Westfjords.

Day 2: Ísafjörður

Tucked in the heart of the Westfjords, Ísafjörður is surrounded by dramatic basalt mountains and deep fjords. Once a quiet fishing settlement, it became an international trade hub in the 16th century, with its rich waters attracting traders and ships from across the Atlantic. Today, the colourful houses, swanky downtown buildings, and visitors from around the world make a surprisingly cosmopolitan town centre. Chilly breezes and sweeping landscapes welcome visitors to explore the remoteness and beauty of this northern gem.

Day 3: Siglufjörður and Grímsey

Siglufjörður, Iceland’s northernmost mainland town, thrived during the herring boom of the mid-20th century, growing from a sleepy village to the hub of the country’s fishing industry. Today, the herring still reigns supreme; the charming streets and Herring Era Museum showcase this proud heritage, while its jaw-dropping fjord setting offers rich bird-watching opportunities. Later, we sail to Grímsey Island, the only part of Iceland crossing the Arctic Circle. A guided walk reveals its rugged beauty, curious unafraid seabirds, and the symbolic Arctic Circle marker, ‘Orbis et Globus’, which is shifted annually to account for tiny changes to Earth’s orbit.

Day 4: Akureyri

Nestled at the end of Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest fjord, Akureyri is known as the “Capital of the North.” Despite its small size, the city boasts a unique cathedral, the first botanical gardens in Iceland, massive geothermally heated swimming pools, and a lively cultural scene. Sheltered by surrounding hills from the worst of the Arctic weather, its rich volcanic soils support abundant agriculture, and the frigid waters of the fjord hold rich fish stocks – a treat for the discerning palate!

Day 5: Húsavík

Just beyond Akureyri lies Húsavík, Iceland’s oldest settlement, founded by the Viking pioneer Náttfari in the late 9th century. Small but bustling, Húsavík has fully embraced tourism and is the undisputed whale-watching capital of Iceland. Where whalers once hunted, conservation and tourism now shelter these gentle giants. The town also offers museums, including one dedicated to whale conservation, and another celebrating Iceland’s contributions to exploration in the Arctic, Antarctic, and even into space. No trip to Husavik is complete without a soak at the nearby Geosea Spa with sweeping views over Skjálfandi Bay.

Day 6: Djúpivogur

Situated on Iceland’s scenic southeast coast, Djúpivogur is framed by fjords, mountains, and rich bird habitats. It is the closest port in the country to the Faroe Islands, Scandinavia, and mainland Europe, and is a popular port of call for vessels exploring the North Atlantic. Centered around the harbor, the town dates back to the 16th century and is known for its unique public art, including the Eggin í Gleðivík (Eggs of Merry Bay) sculpture. Hikers and birdwatchers are spoiled for choice, with mile upon mile of nature waiting to be explored. One of Iceland’s most beautiful black sand beaches is just a short stroll from town and features a huge variety of bird species.

Day 7: Heimaey and Surtsey, Westman Islands

Next, we visit Heimaey, the largest of the volcanic Westman Islands. Visitors can explore the dramatic lava fields of Eldfell volcano and the world-renowned bird colonies of the island. The residents of Heimaey were severely tested in 1973, when Eldfell volcano began to spew lava, threatening the town and its vital harbour. Heroic locals fought back, cooling the lava with seawater jets to save their community. Weather permitting, we will cruise past Surtsey on departure, a newly formed volcanic island strictly reserved for scientific research.

Day 8: Reykjavik – Disembarkation

Returning to Reykjavik, we conclude our voyage with lasting memories of Iceland’s wild landscapes, vibrant communities, and extraordinary wildlife. Prices based on twin occupancy except for Singles (1), Triples (3), and the Brynhilde Suite (4). A limited number of twin cabins may be sold for single occupancy at 1.7 times the twin rate. boasts the same strikingly unconventional profile as its sibling. It’s a look that reflects decades of Polar experience and design refinement, resulting in a vessel ideally suited for the challenges and opportunities of this unique part of the world. From its uber-stable X-Bow to its heated mudroom and four exterior doors that will get you out and exploring quickly and safely, this is the ship that the polar regions – and all would-be explorers – have been waiting for.

Cum ajungi din România

Pentru Groenlanda se adaugă zborul până la Reykjavík și minimum o noapte înainte de expediție, iar întoarcerea se face de regulă din Danemarca, după zborul charter. Acolo unde charterul este obligatoriu și tarifat separat de croazieră, componenta rămâne distinctă.

Debarcările și observarea faunei nu pot fi garantate.
