Venture into the remote reaches of the Arctic on an 11-day, 10-night journey aboard Silver Endeavour, departing Reykjavik on August 20, 2028, and returning to Iceland after an extraordinary exploration of East Greenland and the Westfjords. The adventure begins with a crossing of the Denmark Strait, where seabirds and occasional whales may accompany the voyage toward Greenland's spectacular eastern coastline. At King Oscar Fjord, discover a landscape of multicolored mountains, enormous floating icebergs, and untouched tundra near Northeast Greenland National Park, with opportunities to search for musk oxen, Arctic hares, and Arctic foxes. The expedition then spends three days in Scoresby Sund, the planet's largest fjord system, where immense glacial formations, sheer rock walls, and building-sized icebergs provide the backdrop for Zodiac exploration, guided landings, and possible encounters with seals, whales, or polar bears. With the return of darkness in late August, travelers may also have a chance to witness the northern lights. A visit to the isolated settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit reveals aspects of traditional Inuit life, including the continuing importance of hunting and dog sledding. Returning to Iceland, the voyage explores Ísafjörður, a fishing town surrounded by mountains, before visiting the cascading Dynjandi waterfall. Combining Arctic wilderness, cultural encounters, dramatic geological scenery, and expedition activities, this round-trip voyage offers a distinctive perspective on two remarkable northern destinations.
