Scoresby Sund Northern Lights & Activities Special 9 Days
Aboard: MV Ortelius
FREE KAYAKING, HIKING AND PHOTO WORKSHOPS.
A fantastic voyage from Iceland to the spectacular Scoresby Sund, the world's longest fjord, and the rarely visited eastern coast of Greenland. Discover a world of enchanting scenery and diverse wildlife as you spend your days exploring by kayak, ship, Zodiac and on foot throughout this magnificent wilderness. At this time of year we also hope to witness the beautiful phenomenon of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).
This basecamp voyage focuses on land and near-shore activities with minimal disturbance to local wildlife. Your ship will navigate to carefully chosen areas around Scoresby Sund, staying in fewer locations than during regular trips, so that it can serve as a comfortable hub for multiple outdoor activities. Should you not wish to participate in the activities, you can still enjoy a truly fulfilling Arctic experience with Zodiac cruises and easy-to-moderate shoreline walks that focus on wildlife.
Kayaking, hiking and photo workshops are all included as part of your package. A Polar Diving option is also available at a discounted rate. To participate in Polar Diving you must be advanced and experienced in dry suit and cold water diving.
Please note: A transfer shuttle between Reykjavik and Akureyri (embarkation & disembarkation point) is available at a cost of €105pp one-way and €180 return.
