Day 2
Esbjerg, Denmark
The first stop on our journey to the Arctic is Esbjerg on the west coast of Denmark's Jutland peninsula. As we approach, look out for the giant 'Man Meets the Sea' statues sitting by the shore. Esbjerg is a blend of historic charm and modern Scandinavian chic, and it's easy to get around on foot. A shuttle bus will take you into the center to explore at your leisure. Why not treat yourself to a typical smorrebrod for lunch. You'll find Denmark's famous open rye bread sandwiches irresistibly displayed in many bakery windows. After lunch, it's time to say goodbye to Denmark as we set sail for Norway. Enjoy an afternoon at sea making the most of your ship's facilities.

Day 3
Haugesund, Norway
As we reach Norway, we'll head for the region of Haugesund. Known for its Viking connections, it was here that King Harald Fairhair first united Norway into a single kingdom. From this royal seat, Norway's kings long controlled the renowned shipping route Nordvegen, or 'the way to the north', from which the country takes its name. Today, this Viking past lives on in the area's many historic sites. If conditions allow, we'll visit a recreated Viking settlement on the small island of Bukkoya, and on nearby Karmoy, you can delve deeper into Norway's Viking and maritime history at the Nordvegen History Centre. ...

Day 4
Fjaerland, Norway
In the morning, we plan to cruise deep into Sognefjorden, the longest and deepest fjord in Norway, to the tiny hamlet of Fjaerland. Only 300 people live in this idyllic village with its many charming old buildings and weaving traditions. This is also the place where Sognefjorden meets Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on the European continent. A visit to the Norwegian Glacier Museum is the included activity of the day. There you can learn why glacier ice is blue and how the fjords were formed. You can even perform a few experiments with 1,000-year-old glacier ice and watch a panoramic film about Europe's largest glacier. ... Read More

Svartisen, Norway
Today, we'll sail into Holandsfjord off the rugged Helgeland coast, and head towards the Svartisen glacier. Covering 230 square miles and with 60 'tongues', this incredible geographical feature is Norway's second-largest glacier after Jostedalsbreen. Meaning 'black ice', the epic Svartisen is made up of two separate glaciers, Vestisen and Ostisen, which are divided by the half-mile-long Vesterdalen valley.

Day 9
Tromso, Norway
Set in a majestic landscape, this small, cosmopolitan city has an exciting past and plenty of fascinating sights to discover. It was the base for many a historic Arctic expedition, including those of Roald Amundsen, and its situation 250 miles north of the Polar Circle has led to it being called the 'Gateway to the Arctic'. At the Polar Museum, discover the city's exploration heritage, and see the Arctic Cathedral - with its huge stained-glass window, it's one of the most striking landmarks in Tromso. You can also take the Fjellheisen cable car to the top of Storsteinen for incredible views. ... Read More

North Cape, Norway
The captivating North Cape marks mainland Europe's northernmost point. This rugged promontory on the north of Mageroya island truly feels like the end of the Earth. Here, we'll venture across the wild Arctic landscape towards the cape's towering cliff edge, which sits around a thousand feet above the Barents Sea. Feel a sense of awe as you take in the panoramas, and as you gaze towards the horizon, think of the adventures yet to come as your voyage heads even further north.

Day 12
Spitsbergen, Norway
Svalbard's largest island Spitsbergen showcases Arctic beauty in its untouched glory; a wilderness of steep mountains, glaciers, and beautiful islands. Over the next four days you'll visit some of the world's most dramatic fjords, while watching and listening for glaciers as they creak and calve icebergs into the sea. Reaching farther north, sea ice might affect our course as we attempt to make our way to Northwest Spitsbergen National Park. There, we plan to cruise into deep fjords headed by sparkling glaciers that flow into the blue water. Each day will be different. From landings to kayaking, be ready for anything as your captain and Expedition Team decide on the best landing sites and activities based on the day's conditions. Perhaps we'll head to the snowcapped peaks of Hornsund, or visit Ny-Alesund, the starting point for Roald Amundsen's expeditions north with the airship 'Norge'. Now a hub for global science and climate research, you can still see remnants of the town's history. Delight in the rare chance to seek the region's apex predator, the magnificent polar bear, in its natural environment following the sea-ice edge hunting for seals. The generous daylight of the Midnight Sun gives us plenty of time to explore this breathtakingly scenic area. ... Read More
