Cruise Overview

Island exploration on this late spring voyage

Discover the history and natural wonders of five wild, beautiful islands in and around the Arctic, across four countries.

15-day expedition cruise from Bergen to the Shetland Islands, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Svalbard before ending in Oslo

Island adventures

Our springtime adventure starts in Bergen, Norway before sailing to Lerwick in the Shetland Islands of Scotland. From there, we travel to the green Faroe Islands, then cross to the north coast of Iceland. We finish our expedition cruise in Longyearbyen after sailing to scenic Spitsbergen to see the untouched glory of the High Arctic.

Keep watch for wildlife

The pristine waters and stunning islands on this North Atlantic island-hopping adventure are home to all kinds of wildlife. We’ll look out for birds, whales, and much more along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for the majestic but elusive polar bear as we sail the waters around Spitsbergen.
