Few itineraries feature such contrasting destinations in a single trip—but our 17-day Scotland to Spitsbergen: Puffins, Sea Ice and Wildlife voyage does just that. You’ll start in Scotland, exploring the Shetland and Orkney Islands—visiting impressive bird colonies and Scottish Neolithic historical sites—then cross the Norwegian Sea to the seldom-visited Bear Island, which sits alone and isolated between mainland Norway and Svalbard. Because you’re traveling in May, you’ll encounter plenty of ice in the many fjords we’ll visit, such as Storfjorden. These ice-covered expanses increase our chances of seeing walruses, polar bears, seals and other wildlife. In addition to our seasoned Expedition Team, you’ll also learn from our special guest ornithologist and historian, who will join us for the entire voyage.
Our 11-day West Greenland: Discovering Massive Icebergs and Inuit Communities, Northbound itinerary is designed for travelers who want the most immersive journey possible into West Greenland—where tidewater glaciers, storied fjords, colossal icebergs, and picturesque coastal communities bring the spirit of the region to life. You will journey deep into both Eternity Fjord—and the rarely-visited Itilleq Fjord. You’ll also explore Ilulissat, Eqip Sermia and Uummannaq—West Greenland’s crown jewels of ice and stone—all in one seamless trip. And thanks to our partnerships with locals, we’ll take you beyond the guidebooks, connecting you with Greenland through those who call it home. Plus, you’ll cross the iconic Arctic Circle.
