Iceland & Greenland Cruises
on Explora Journeys

Sailing the dramatic waters of Iceland and Greenland with Explora Journeys combines the thrill of high-Arctic exploration with the refined luxury of an ocean retreat. Unlike rugged, science-first polar expedition ships, Explora Journeys offers an elegant, spacious environment onboard its flagship vessels, Explora I and Explora II. This makes these itineraries ideal for discerning travelers who want to witness the dramatic landscapes of the Arctic—including calving glaciers, remote fishing villages, and floating icefields—while returning each evening to an ultra-luxury suite and world-class dining.

An Explora Journeys Arctic itinerary typically features a blend of Iceland's geothermal wonders and Greenland's remote coastal wilderness. In Iceland, ports like Akureyri and Isafjordur serve as gateways to dramatic waterfalls, volcanic craters, and whale-watching hotspots. In Greenland, ships navigate the deep, iceberg-laden waters of Prince Christian Sound, leading to the capital city of Nuuk and the spectacular Ilulissat Icefjord. Daily shore excursions, referred to as "Destination Experiences," are carefully curated to highlight local heritage, outdoor adventure, and culinary traditions.

Onboard accommodations on Explora Journeys are all-suite ocean homes, featuring private terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in closets, and spacious living areas designed to maximize the spectacular views. Dining is a highlight of the journey, with six distinct restaurants serving gourmet cuisine made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
