North Atlantic Expedition

Hallgrimskirkja Church dominates Reykjavik. This hip Scandinavian city is a well-known destination. Reykjavik, with its new Nordic cuisine and shopping options, as well as the city's relaxed atmosphere and fantastic excursions, is one of Scandinavia’s most exciting and welcoming cities. Shop for local knitwear, visit the world-class (and sometimes quirky) museums or just enjoy this busy city from a cafe terrace.

Our comfortable cruise ship is waiting to embark our guests with staterooms that are ready for them. The expedition ship, after our safety briefings and the lifeboat drills that are required by law, will depart Reykjavik to chart its course towards the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

We will depart from Iceland's busy capital and sail to Siglufjordur, the rugged town at the northernmost tip of the island.

Iceland's waters are among the most fertile on the planet. Here, warm Gulf Stream currents meet cold East Greenland Currents, creating waters that are rich in nutrients and oxygen. These waters are rich in oxygen and nutrients, which in turn feed a variety of different species. Join your team of expedition experts on the deck as we travel around the Westfjords, the rugged peninsula that forms Iceland's northwestern corner. Look for the unique wildlife in this seascape. While fulmars, seabirds, and puffins glide by the ship, they dive into the cold depths to find food. We may be lucky enough to see whales feasting on vast herring shoals in the vicinity. Our experienced guides on board will tell stories of Iceland’s unique culture, foklore and marine ecosystems.

The day spent at sea allows you to get to know your vessel. You can relax with a cup of coffee in the Observation lounge, attend a lecture designed to teach more about the area, or share a cocktail made especially for the occasion with friends.
