Day 1 - Reykjavik, Iceland

Arrive: Thu 17 September 2026 / Depart: Thu 17 September 2026 at 19:00

Feel the magnetic lure of adventure at the world’s northernmost capital. Mystical landscapes promise dramatic snow-capped volcanoes, ice fields and mountains for thrilling quests; explore by helicopter, ride Icelandic horses, zip through lava tunnels on super trucks and rocket across glaciers on snow scooters. Then slow down to visit a geothermal-fired bakery and greenhouse, soak in wellbeing springs, the blue lagoon or refresh at the nearby face mask bar. And as the nightlife beckons under the sun that barely sets, drink black death schnapps as a poetic reminder of Reykjavik’s exhilarating activities.

Day 2 - Isafjordur

Arrive: Fri 18 September 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 18 September 2026 at 17:00

Feel free within the peaceful, beautiful countryside that surrounds a handful of tin-roofed towns. Roam the wild Westfjords territory; whale watch, bird watch, kayak, horseback ride, hike, cycle or play golf – the options are endless. Learn of maritime heritage at the Westfjords Museum, travel by boat to the remote Hornstrandir peninsula, visit friendly fishing villages, spot Arctic foxes and experience life as a Viking at Skalinn Viking Centre. Small and unspoilt, Isafjordur exhibits a largely uninhabited Icelandic wonderland.

Day 3 - At Sea

Day 4 - Sailing the Prins Christian Sund waterway

Day 5 - Greenland

Arrive: Mon 21 September 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Mon 21 September 2026 at 16:00

Keep quiet about Paamiut – it’s the best kept secret in the region. Head off the well-trodden path and be welcomed with mugs of kaffemik coffee and many a story. Noble and colonial-style, the harbourside gives way to brightly coloured, protected buildings - a church, museum and just a few residents. Hike trails through untouched landscapes, spot spiritual white-tailed eagles and find peace in this natural habitat at the entrance to the Kuanersooq Fjord. This place is good for the soul but remember not to tell a soul.

Day 6 - Nanortalik

Discover impressive fossils on Niapiskau Island and wind your way through a rich array of flora and fauna on Quarry Island. Wander inland to the eco-friendly boreal forest where you’ll uncover impressive ancient limestone monuments. Tread quietly across pebble strewn beaches and striking coastal scenery to watch playful seals below soaring seabirds and meet the local Innu people to immerse in thousand-year culture.

Arrive: Sat 26 September 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Sat 26 September 2026 at 18:00

Awaken your senses in Baie-Comeau. Step back in time to discover how glaciers shaped the landscape and when maritime heritage merged with industrial history. Savour delicious regional seafood and locally brewed beer as you admire wild nature at its finest. Visit a valley full of seashells, salt marshes, sand dunes and forests bursting with wild berries in the bird-watching capital of Quebec. Marvel at unspoiled views of the Panoramas and immerse in nine different ecosystems in one day - where wholesome surroundings are the perfect invitation to relax.
