Destaques do Ártico rumo ao sul (Svalbard e Islândia)

Setting sail from Longyearbyen, your Arctic expedition ventures into the wild reaches of Northwest Spitsbergen National Park, where glaciers, polar bears, and sweeping tundra define the rugged beauty of Svalbard’s western coast. Crossing the icy waters of the Greenland Sea, the journey follows drifting pack ice in search of whales, seals, and seabirds. The adventure continues into the vast fjord systems of Northeast Greenland National Park, including the dramatic landscapes of Scoresby Sund and a visit to the remote settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit. Sailing onward through the Denmark Strait, the voyage concludes in Reykjavík, where geothermal energy and Nordic charm mark a striking finale to this polar journey.

Dias 2 a 5: Svalbard/Mar da Groenlândia

Taking advantage of local ice and weather conditions, explore the Northwest Spitsbergen National Park, one of those rare places on Earth blessed with both awe-inspiring landscape and compelling history.

Over four full days, explore a small portion of the western coast of Svalbard. Entering the fall the days are getting shorter so try to take advantage of all of the sunlight possible to search for wildlife.

Spend these days in search of the elusive polar bears as they hunt seals. Look out for Svalbard's unique subspecies of reindeer. Although much smaller than their southern relatives, they still carry impressive antlers. Keep a sharp lookout for Arctic foxes.

By not having a set itinerary, we take on an expedition spirit and are free to take advantage of the best that Svalbard has to offer.

Dias 6 e 7: Mar da Groenlândia

Keep an eye out for majestic whales, which are known to feed here in the summer months. Spot orca, humpback and minke whales, as well as dolphins. Enjoy lectures by expedition staff.

Frigid waters drain from the Arctic Ocean in a southwest current along the coast of Northeast Greenland. Often, drifting pack ice is pushed along the coast. We will attempt to approach and follow the pack ice edge to explore the polar seascape. Keep a lookout for sea mammals like seals and whales and also sea birds such as kittiwakes and fulmars.

Dias 8 a 12: Parque Nacional do Nordeste da Groenlândia

Spend a few days exploring the massive fjord system of Northeast Greenland National Park, which includes portions of Scorsbysund. Visit the tiny settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit for a look at how these most northerly people live.

Sail through and land in some of the most spectacular fjord country in the world along down the coast of Greenland, while exploring rarely visited glaciers, bays and inlets.

This is the largest national park in the world, nearly impossible to reach except on expedition ships. Spectacular geology combined with glacial features create steep mountains raising directly from the sea. Look out for picturesque scenery, wildlife and other interesting landing sites in this unspoiled wilderness.

Depending on ice, spend these days exploring the massive fjord system of Northeast Greenland National Park, which includes portions of Scoresbysund. These intricate fjord systems are everything from wide and unimaginable to narrow and steeply spectacular with some of the best mountain scenery in the world. Walking over lush stands of colourful autumn tundra may lead to opportunities to see musk oxen grazing nearby.

Dias 13 e 14: Estreito da Dinamarca/Reykjavík

Enjoy the lecture series while watching the seas for whales. Head towards Iceland and the steaming hot springs of Reykjavík. The view is often complemented by soaring fulmars, kittiwakes, gannets, guillemots, and razorbills.

Dia 15: Reykjavík

Logo após o café da manhã, desembarque no Midbakki Pier, no Porto de Reykjavík, a uma curta caminhada do centro.

For guests departing on disembarkation day, G Adventures will provide a complimentary transfer at 8:00am to Keflavik International Airport from the port.
