12-day Arctic tour

Day 1 :
Day 1 » Reykjavík, Iceland
Welcome to Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland and starting point of our expedition. After arriving via scheduled commercial flight service, you are free to explore this fascinating city. Reykjavík is home to many cultural institutions, including museums, galleries, and the Hallgrímskirkja church. Leisure possibilities inside the city include parks, gardens, and thermal baths. You can also take advantage of Reykjavík’s wide range of shopping possibilities, excellent dining options, and famous nightlife. Your hotel for the night has been arranged by us and is included in the price of the voyage.
Day 2 :
Day 2 » Embarkation in Reykjavík
We welcome you aboard the luxury expedition ship M/V Sea Spirit in the afternoon. Explore the ship and get comfortable in your home away from home for an extraordinary adventure. Savor the anticipation of your Arctic dreams coming true as we slip our moorings and sail out of the harbor.
Day 3 :
Day 3 » Westfjords, Iceland
Our expedition day in the Westfjords area reveals the rare beauty of the part of Iceland where mass tourism disappears — only about 10% of Iceland’s visitors ever see the region. Taking advantage of every weather-favorable condition, we choose the best places to discover breathtaking coastal fjords, jagged bird cliffs, and tiny fishing villages embracing traditional ways of life.
Day 4 :
Day 4 » Grimsey Island, Iceland
The tiny island of Grimsey lies precisely on the Arctic Circle. Grimsey is remarkable for majestic basalt rocks and bird colonies where one can see the Atlantic puffins, also known as the "clowns of the sea."
Day 5 :
Day 5 » Jan Mayen Island
Jan Mayen hosts landscapes of breathtaking beauty and the northernmost subaerial active volcano on the planet – the Beerenberg. The island is wild and uninhabited, not including members of the Norwegian weather station. The signboard at the entrance door says (translated from Norwegian): “Theory is when you understand everything, but nothing works. Practice is when everything works, but nobody understands why. On this station, we combine theory and practice so that nothing works and nobody understands why”. Northern fulmars, Kittiwakes, and Brünich’s guillemots breeding on steep cliffs and slopes represent the birdlife of Jan Mayen.
