Arctic Islands Discovery – Svalbard, Jan Mayen, Greenland and Iceland
All departures of this tripCRUISE ID # HXFRSVA09D2-280803
Oslo TO Reykjavík
14-day all-inclusive Svalbard, Jan Mayen, Greenland and Iceland from Oslo to Reykjavík
Visit Svalbard, Jan Mayen, and East Greenland in a single expedition, three of the hardest-to-reach destinations in the Arctic, rarely combined in one voyage.
Explore the world's largest fjord system in East Greenland and the volcanic wilderness of Jan Mayen, an island most people will never see.
Travel in peak Arctic summer, when glaciers calve, wildlife thrives, and 24-hour light reveals landscapes in their full, raw beauty.
High Arctic in high summer
Mid-August brings near-continuous daylight to the High Arctic. Glaciers calve into open waters, whales feed in the fjords, and seabird colonies are at their busiest. This is the narrow window when these remote regions are at their most accessible and most dramatic.
The hardest places to reach
This expedition connects some of the most isolated destinations in the Northern Hemisphere: the glaciers of Svalbard, the volcanic wilderness of Jan Mayen, the vast fjord system of East Greenland, and the iconic coastline of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula. Many of these places have only been open to visitors for a relatively short time, and few voyages bring them together in a single sailing. Each stop feels like a different world: ice-carved, volcanic, wild, and almost untouched.

Every day of your expedition cruise, your tastebuds will get the opportunity to explore. In each of our onboard restaurants, our skilled chefs create exciting menus using ingredients from the areas we travel.
Embarking on MS Fram, you’ll quickly feel safe and relaxed. Surrounding you with quality, natural materials and plenty of light and space, your expedition ship is reassuring, comfortable and built for adventure.
Your ship comes equipped with full suite of facilities to maintain an active lifestyle. From an indoor gym to a wellness centre for both body and mind, you’ll find everything you need to feel fully rejuvenated.
Our expedition ships – MS Roald Amundsen, MS Fridtjof Nansen, MS Fram, MS Spitsbergen, MS Santa Cruz II – are more than just a way to travel - they’re your home in the heart of the wild. Instead of an onboard casino, we have the Science Centre. Instead of cabaret shows, you have all the show you need outside the windows. No water slides, just kayaking trips or small-boat safaris along the coast in the Arctic, Antarctic, or the Galápagos.
We offer a rich and varied program of optional shore excursions. In many ports, we offer an included excursion, which can be reserved for no additional charge. In many cases the included excursion can be combined with other optional excursions in the port. Most excursions can be pre-booked but may also be bookable onboard if capacity remains.
We advise that you book well in advance in order to avoid disappointment due to the excursion b....
