Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Reykjavik

   Iceland

   

   Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, distils the entire improbable beauty of Iceland into one compact, creatively charged city. The soaring basalt columns of Hallgrímskirkja dominate a skyline of primary-coloured rooftops, while the Harpa Concert Hall shimmers beside the harbour like a captured aurora. Day trips from the city unlock the Golden Circle's geysers and Geysir hot spring, the black sand beaches of Vík, and the ethereal glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón. Geothermal pools — from the legendary Blue Lagoon to intimate neighbourhood hot pots — offer warmth year-round. June and July bring the bewitching midnight sun.

2. Day 1

   Nuuk Godthaab

   Greenland

   

   Nuuk, Greenland's diminutive capital, is a city of vivid contrasts — colourful colonial houses against Arctic granite, Inuit heritage alongside contemporary Nordic culture, and world-class museums steps from untamed fjords. Visitors should not miss the Greenland National Museum's Qilakitsoq mummies and a Zodiac excursion into the surrounding iceberg-studded fjord system. The prime cruising season runs from June through September, when extended daylight illuminates the landscape in an ethereal sub-Arctic glow and waters remain navigable for expedition vessels.

   Baffin Island

   Canada

   

   Baffin Island is the fifth-largest island on Earth, a vast Canadian Arctic wilderness of mountains, glaciers, and tundra that has been home to Inuit peoples for over 4,000 years. Must-dos include visiting the renowned Inuit art community of Kinngait (Cape Dorset), watching for narwhals and polar bears, and experiencing the dramatic landscape of Auyuittuq National Park. The expedition season runs July through August for the best wildlife activity and most navigable Arctic conditions.
