Arktische Höhepunkte in Richtung Süden

Embark aboard the Expedition in the afternoon and depart Longyearbyen. An arrival transfer is included. Guests should follow the joining instructions provided in their welcome information for luggage drop-off and embarkation details.
Please make sure you drop your checked luggage off at the meeting point between 10:30am - 3:40pm. A local representative will be in the luggage storage room. They can provide general information about the town or your embarkation process.

All passengers will be transferred to the ship as a group for embarkation at 4pm. Please ensure that for embarkation you have your passport accessible (not in your luggage which is being transferred separately to the ship).

Begin the expedition among the fjords, glaciers, historic sites and tundra landscapes of western and northwestern Spitsbergen. The expedition team will use local weather, sea-ice and wildlife conditions to select the best available opportunities for landings, Zodiac cruises and scenic ship cruising before setting a course toward Greenland.

Look for Svalbard reindeer, Arctic foxes, seals, whales and the region's diverse birdlife. Polar bears also inhabit the archipelago, although sightings can never be guaranteed.
Vier Tage lang erkundest du einen kleinen Teil der Westküste von Svalbard. Mit Herbstbeginn werden die Tage kürzer. Nutze also die Stunden bei Tageslicht gut aus, um die Tiere hier zu beobachten.

Eisbären auf Robbenjagd sind ein ebenso eindrucksvoller wie seltener Anblick und du hast zwei Tage Zeit, danach Ausschau zu halten. Halte auch die Augen offen nach dem Spitzbergen-Ren. Diese nur hier heimische Rentierart ist kleiner als ihre südlichen Verwandten, hat aber ein ebenso prächtiges Geweih. Halte Ausschau nach Polarfüchsen.

Da wir auf See keinen festgelegten Reiseablauf haben, kommt echte Expeditionsstimmung auf und wir können das Meiste aus unserer Reise in Svalbard mitnehmen.

Cross the Greenland Sea toward East Greenland. Attend lectures and educational programs led by the expedition team, spend time on deck watching for whales, seals and seabirds, and watch for drifting pack ice. If conditions safely allow, the ship may explore near the ice edge for a closer look at the polar marine environment.
Ein Strom von Eiswasser fließt vom Arktischen Ozean in südwestlicher Richtung an der Nordostküste Grönlands vorbei und treibt oft Packeis mit sich. Wir werden versuchen, uns dem Rand des Packeises weit wie möglich zu nähern und daran entlang das Polarmeer zu erkunden. Halte Ausschau nach Meerestieren wie Robben und Walen und Seevögeln wie Dreizehenmöwen und Eissturmvögeln.

Spend several days exploring the immense fjords and rugged coastal landscapes of East Greenland. Sail among sculptural icebergs, glacier-carved valleys, steep mountain walls and broad stretches of Arctic tundra as the expedition team selects the most suitable opportunities each day.
A planned visit to Ittoqqortoormiit offers insight into daily life, history and culture in one of Greenland's most remote communities. Elsewhere in the region, the flexible expedition program may include hikes, shoreline exploration, Zodiac cruises and scenic navigation through Scoresbysund and remote fjords extending south along the East Greenland coast.

Cross the Denmark Strait toward Iceland. Continue the onboard lecture series and spend time on deck watching for whales, seabirds and changing ocean conditions.

Disembark shortly after breakfast at the Port of Keflavik. Transfer arrangements will be confirmed onboard before departure. Guests should observe the published onward-flight restrictions when making travel plans.
For guests departing on disembarkation day, G Adventures will provide a complimentary transfer at 8:00am to Keflavik International Airport from the port.

For guests who are planning on staying in Keflavik or Reykjavik post trip, taxis will be available for hire at the pier to transfer them to their accommodations.

All transfer arrangements will be confirmed while on board prior to departure, to ensure that all needs are met.

Please do not book onward travel prior to `12:00pm.
