Arctic Ocean - Spitsbergen: Jan Mayen, Ice Edge & Birding - Summer Solstice - 9 days
About this trip
This nine-day Arctic voyage sets out from Akureyri and carries you from the volcanic shores of Iceland to the icy fjords and snow-capped peaks of Spitsbergen, crossing the Arctic Circle along the way. A highlight is remote Jan Mayen, with its rich seabird life and dramatic isolation.
Timed around the summer solstice, the journey follows the edge of the ice as it pushes north, opening up some of the most striking scenery in the high Arctic. Keep watch for whales, seals and polar bears as you sail, and let the endless daylight reveal a wild, rarely visited corner of the world.
