Tour Highlights

Experience an extraordinary eight-night tour including one night at the Iceland Parliament Hotel in Reykjavík, Iceland, and a seven-night cruise round-trip Reykjavík aboard the exclusively chartered, deluxe small ship, World Voyager — sailing in the path of totality to witness the solar eclipse.
While sailing off the coast of Greenland, be one of the very few to witness the spectacle of a total solar eclipse when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, weather permitting.
See panoramic views of Reykjavík from the observation deck at Perlan, a glass-domed natural history museum.
Enjoy guided hikes and meet locals in the remote Greenland village of Ittoqqortoormiit.
Cruise amid arctic glaciers and icebergs through Scoresby Sound, one of the longest and most complex fjord systems in the world.
See puffins, Arctic terns and other birds on Vigur Island, a protected wildlife sanctuary.
Take in spectacular views as you drive from Isafjordur harbor to Osvor, an old fisherman’s hut, and then on to visit the Westfjord Heritage Museum.
From Grundafjordur, step back into Iceland’s heroic past during a scenic excursion of the rugged Snaefellsnes Peninsula, where you will also see the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain — said to have inspired novelist Jules Verne’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth.”
A pre-tour extension in Reykjavík is available at additional cost.
