Experience the wild and fantastic landscapes of Iceland and East Greenland on our 12-night Iceland and Eastern Greenland cruise. Circumnavigate Iceland, the land of fire and ice, accompanied by breaching whales, and discover the phenomena of fjords, spectacular waterfalls and neverending volcanic scenery. From northern Iceland, we head to Eastern Greenland, to explore regions in the northernmost part of the world. Encounter some of the most interesting indigenous cultures and ways of life in sparsely populated regions, as well as national parks, protected areas for wildlife - such as arctic hare and muskoxen - and the world`s largest fjord system. On our return to Iceland, you can duck under the spray of spouting hot geysers and spot Atlantic puffins. Join us on board our boutique expedition ship for a tour of Iceland and a fascinating and varied part of Greenland.
Trip Highlights:
- Explore Iceland`s rarely visited Westfjords region
- Lookout for an incredible variety of seabirds including Arctic tern, puffins and eiders
- Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the world`s most remote settlements
- Glide through the pristine waters of worlds largest fjord network in east Greenland
