From Reykjavik, you will sail towards the east coast of Greenland and discover Inuit culture in Ammassalik Island and set off to meet the inhabitants of this remote region, with deep-rooted traditions. You will then sail through Kangerlussuaq fjord, a wonderful scenery of ice and vertiginous peaks of dark grey rock coated in snow that plunge into the deep blue waters of the fjord.
Your ship will then sail...read more on towards Ittoqqortoormiit Region, to the heart of this hostile but sublime realm of ice, before reaching Scoresby Sund, the largest and deepest fjord system in the world. Le Boreal will make its way to Jan Mayen Island, which was very dear to Captain Jean-Baptiste Charcot.
Located on the threshold of the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans, this isolated and uninhabited volcanic island was a whale hunting centre and is home to large bird colonies. You will then reach Svalbard and Isfjorden, some of whose branches reach the heart of the island of Spitsbergen, before reaching Longyearbyen, your disembarkation port.
