Svalbard Odyssey - 12 days Departing 19 June or 11 August 2024

Enjoy the best of Svalbard, a world of endless daylight where wildlife sightings can range from walruses, and whales to arctic foxes and polar bears, or discover historic camps of explorers. All while exploring the breathtakingly beautiful Norwegian fjords. 

Iceland Circumnavigation 11 days Departing 21 May 2024

Explore the 'Land of Ice and Fire' where snow-capped peaks rise above glaciers and active volcanoes rumble. Walk along a black sand beach strewn or explore spectacular fjords and impressive waterfalls, in one of the most geologically active places on earth.
