Meet some of our Arctic & Japan Discovery Team experts:

Jonathan Fuhrmann

Geology, Glaciology, Lecturer, Assistant Discovery Leader

Austrian-born Jonathan Fuhrmann lived in England for 11 years where he studied Glaciology at the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. In a considered effort to impart his wisdom and raise awareness of the sciences, he worked as a science communicator at the British Antarctic Survey and the Natural History Museum, where he would hold talks on a range of topics from climate science and astronomy, to palaeontology, volcanology and photography.

During his years working on expedition ships, he has been fortunate to visit all seven continents of the world, noting a trip to Norway for the solar eclipse as one of his favourites.

Pepe Rojas Ornithologist & Lecturer

Peruvian-born Pepe Rojas is an ornithologist and field researcher who has dedicated much of his life to nature and conservation. Having led many expeditions on land and sea, from the polar regions to the Amazon rainforest, his passion will be infectious as guests uncover this lesserexplored part of the world.

Pepe’s love for the Arctic was instantaneous as he fell not only for the unrivalled beauty created by the landscape and light, but for the native wildlife inhabiting its limitless icescapes. He’ll guide and look out for the Arctic fox, numerous whale species and the iconic spoonbilled sandpipers, a bird that breeds only in this part of the world as he shares his insights of the region.

Baldur Thorvaldsson Polar Guide and Marine Mammal Lecturer

An Icelandic marine naturalist and polar guide with an MSc degree in Ecotourism, Baldur Thorvaldsson believes in sustainable and ethical wildlife tourism as a means of encouraging people to appreciate the world around them. He has completed 50 polar voyages, including an expedition to Tristan da Cunha, a remote group of volcanic islands located in the southern Atlantic Ocean.

He’s guided hundreds of whale-watching tours in Iceland, Norway and the Azores and observed over 50 species of marine mammals during his incredible career. Always looking forward to his next adventure and sharing his knowledge, he found his calling working on expedition ships, where no day is the same and every day presents a new challenge.

Dr Terence Christian Archaeologist, historian & Discovery Leader

Dr. Terence Christian is an archaeologist and historian specialising in Conflict Archaeology and Military History. After completing his Ph.D. in Conflict Archaeology at the University of Glasgow he went on to teach archaeology and history before serving as the military historian for the American Battlefield Protection Program.

Having had a love of travel from a young age, his work as an expedition leader, guide and Zodiac driver has since enabled him to build an extensive travelling repertoire covering most of the world’s continents. And, as a qualified PTGA Polar Guide, he describes the polar regions as one of his favourite places to explore with guests, as they discover where few have ever before.

Scenic Eclipse A day in a life in the Arctic

Awaken

It’s early as you step from your cosy Scenic Slumber Bed to your suite’s floor-to-ceiling window. Morning sunlight dances across rock walls. Whether in the Norwegian fjords or those of East Greenland, your butler serves a coffee of your choice as you step out onto your private verandah to breathe in pure wilderness. In the Arctic, every day brings new wonder.

Morning

After a delicious breakfast, put on your complimentary polar parka and proceed to the Discovery Centre where your insulated boots await. Join your group at the Marina entrance and board a Zodiac for your morning excursion. With only 200 guests in polar regions, disembarkation goes smoothly and enables multiple landings each day.

Morning exploration

Excitement builds as you pull away from Scenic Eclipse. Its size and unique design allow you to explore places that larger vessels can’t reach. What will it be today? Perhaps a Zodiac cruise beneath the limestone cliffs of Prince Leopold Island bird sanctuary on Canada’s Northwest Passage, where millions of seabirds nest. Or land and carefully approach a walrus haulout in Spitsbergen, a Chukchi village in Siberia or thermal springs in Iceland.

Late morning

No two excursions are alike. Your Discovery Leaders are alert to changing opportunities – from beluga whales suddenly appearing, to the ‘crack!’ of glacier fronts calving – flexible enough to get you there. Monitoring weather, sea state and ice, they will safely guide and share their insights into the region’s environment. Given the range of on-board expertise, our Discovery Team can tailor each excursion to your interests.

The Arctic is a rare opportunity to escape into the immensity of this vast wilderness, from the majestic fjords of Norway and the Svalbard Archipelago to Greenland’s glaciers and the geology of Iceland.

Polar bear, Svalbard Archipelago

Afternoon exploration

Scenic Eclipse’s limited guest number means multiple landings a day. From historic hunters’ huts and reindeer in Svalbard, to Kamchatka’s coastlines alive with sea lions, otters and brown bears, to song and dance by indigenous people across the Arctic, your Discovery Team will interpret what unfolds before your eyes.

Lunch

By midday, return to your ultraluxury Discovery Yacht. Choose lunch at one of several dining experiences, from casual Azure Bar & Cafe to Yacht Club’s grill, to contemporary fine dining. While you eat, rest and admire the views, Scenic Eclipse repositions to a new location for another excursion, holding its place using its GPS Dynamic Positioning System, without dropping anchor onto sensitive seabeds.

After-dinner

What better way to finish the day than with a nightcap in one of our all-inclusive nine bars and lounges, as the Midnight Sun highlights wildflower patches in tundra meadows nearby.

Afternoon rejuvenation

Back on Scenic Eclipse, visit our expansive 5,920ft2 Senses Spa for the pure indulgence of rejuvenating treatments, soak in our Vitality Spa or outdoor pool, or stretch tightening muscles in our POWER: gym, or PURE: Yoga and Pilates studio. Join your Discovery Leader for an illustrated recap of the day and learn what is planned for the next.

Scenic Eclipse’s two state-of-the-art Airbus H130-T2 helicopters^ have been custom-designed for flightseeing. Providing treasured views of cascading waterfalls of Norwegian fjords and a bird’s-eye view of Arctic wildlife – a perspective few have ever experienced.

These helicopters are one of the quietest aircraft in the travel industry, with Bose® noise-cancelling headsets creating a quiet ambience. Guests can enjoy the awe-inspiring landscapes as they listen to the pilot’s commentary.

Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and go where few have gone before as our helicopter landings^ take you further inland for in-depth destination exploration.

Scenic Eclipse’s customised U-Boat Worx Cruise Submarine 7^ can take up to six guests, plus your expert pilot. Dive up to 300 metres (984 feet) underwater to explore the ocean and crystal clear waters, and all that lies in them, such as discovering the Arctic marine-life in Greenland. With a revolving seating platform, every seat in the submarine is a front row seat to the action.

Scenic Eclipse

Antarctica is a continent surrounded by ocean, the Arctic an ocean surrounded by continents – and you can explore them both on our ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht Scenic Eclipse.

The European continent enjoys Norwegian fjords and photogenic fishing villages; Svalbard’s colourful tundra, reindeer, polar bears and walrus; Greenland’s spectacular icebergs and glacier-carved valleys, musk ox and paleo-Eskimo camps. Discover Iceland’s aweinspiring waterfalls, Viking heritage, evocative volcanic landscapes and rejuvenating thermal pools.

The North American continent includes Canada’s historic Northwest Passage, first navigated successfully by Roald Amundsen, with towering seabird cliffs, pods of ghostly beluga whales and the rare chance to see narwhals. Transit through Bering Strait to Alaska’s mountainous coast and share British Columbia’s Inside Passage with breaching humpbacks. No matter which continent you choose, another significant difference between Antarctic and the Arctic are the polar bears. Marine mammals spend most of their lives on Arctic Ocean sea ice, hunting seals, walrus, even whales in the frigid waters and come ashore to give birth to their cubs.

Whenever we enter Ice Bear’s domain, your expert Discovery Team expedition leader carries bear deterrents ranging from rifles and flare pistols to pepper spray (depending on local regulations). Landing areas will be carefully marked with flags showing the limits where you can go. Your safety is our priority. As well as Arctic destinations, here are some seasonal highlights to help you decide which voyage to choose:

Early Summer

June – Early July

On seabird cliffs of Norway, puffins, gannets and guillemots feed chicks. Humpback whales follow the Gulf Stream north along the Norwegian coast, while fast ice breaks out of the deeper fjords. Snow-free areas across the Arctic attract migratory birds, and polar bears and cubs emerge from dens.

Midsummer

Mid July – Early August

Millions of migratory birds fill flyways in Europe, North America and Asia. Seabird cliffs are noisy with growing chicks. Algal blooms attract ringed, bearded and harp seals. On Wrangel Island and across Canada, polar bears teach cubs to hunt. Spectacular Arctic wildflowers bloom and walrus crowd ice floes as polar bears stalk seals in pack ice around Svalbard. Long days make Iceland an ideal destination for photographers.

Late Summer

Mid August – Early September

Open waters unlock the Northwest Passage, with access to polar bears hunting seals and walrus in pack ice. Narwhals begin to gather for winter off Baffin Island. Humpback, bowhead, grey and beluga whales feed off continental coasts before migrating south. Shorebirds and seabirds complete their moult and prepare to head south. Arctic foxes scour the base of seabird cliffs in search of late-season chicks. Warm daytime temperatures encourage spectacular calving of glacier fronts, tundra walks turn up ripe berries and sunsets begin to light up the evening sky.

Discover Svalbard

Svalbard is so remote not even Paleo-Eskimos reached there and despite later periods of shorebased whaling, hunting, trapping, mining and scientific expeditions much remains a pristine wilderness. It’s ours to explore in ultra-luxury from our Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse.

Mountainous Spitsbergen, the largest island in the archipelago, dominates Svalbard’s northwest corner. At its heart is Longyearbyen, Svalbard’s largest, and the world’s most northerly settlement. As perpetual summer daylight bathes surrounding mountainsides, admire Longyearbyen’s colourful houses and fascinating museums before setting sail down Isfjorden.

Due to the extraordinary nature of Svalbard, especially fast-changing weather and ice conditions, our Expedition Voyage itinerary is flexible, with the Captain and Discovery Leader working together to give you experiences that exceed your expectations. Here are some of the highlights that await you. Enjoy breathtaking scenery from your suite’s private verandah as Scenic Eclipse navigates spectacular waterways like Magdalena Fjord, and join Discovery Team specialists on Zodiac cruises along calving ice fronts of the Waggonway or 14th July glaciers. As you slowly move among the brash ice and bergy bits, watch for polar bears on shore and reindeer grazing on tundra hills.

In Kingsfjorden, we may visit Ny Ålesund, a mining town turned polar research centre, or farther north, Amsterdamoya, where our Discovery Team historian leads us to Smeerenburg (literally Blubber Town) the remains of a 17th Century Dutch whaling settlement, where walrus often haulout. Just across the channel are the ruins from the Swedish balloon expedition base camp, where Andrée and his two co-pilots launched, never to be seen alive again. Today delightful harbour seals remain to entertain.

North of Spitsbergen, Scenic Eclipse aims for the Arctic pack ice, an ethereal world where walrus bob on ice floes, polar bears hunt seals and beluga whales rise in open leads. Scenic Eclipse, is built to Polar Class 6 standards and its state-of-theart design allows us to push deeper into the pack

Halfway between Norway and the North Pole lies an enchanting archipelago swept by warm Gulf Stream waters along its west coast; frigid pack ice from the north, polar desert winds from the east and lush sea breezes from the south.

thus improving our chance to see more and reach places other ships can’t, including beyond 80 degrees latitude to Seven Islands, Svalbard’s northernmost island group.

If ice conditions allow, thrill to a passage down Hinlopen Strait, which separates Spitsbergen from Nordaustlandet, an ice-capped polar desert where female polar bears and cubs prowl. Vegetation is sparse, but fossils are many and walrus frequently sleep on its cobbled beaches. Across the way are soaring birdcliffs that literally buzz with some 200,000 nests of Brünichs guillemots, kittiwakes and gulls. Carry binoculars to spy Arctic foxes scavenging for fallen eggs and chicks along the base.

On Svalbard’s south side, visit Sundneset, a fertile plain covered in green mosses and delicate flowers including the yellow marsh saxifrage, moss campion, bell-heather and elegant sunburst lichen. Round South Cape, the most southerly point of Spitsbergen, to explore the deep fjords of Hornsund and Bellsund, where reindeer graze on tundra near preserved trappers huts, puffins join guillemots on bird cliffs, and beluga whales rise like ghosts beneath ice fronts. Focus on the wonders of Svalbard in our Arctic in Depth voyage or combine it with explorations of other destinations like the Norwegian Fjords, Greenland’s stunning east coast, and the thermal wonders of Iceland. No matter which Arctic cruise you choose, travelling in 6-star ultra-luxury on the World’s First Discovery Yacht, accompanied by up to 20 Discovery Team specialists keen to share their expertise and enthusiasm for special places, will leave you with indelible memories to treasure.

Discover Greenland

Enter a world of breathtaking grandeur, where smooth rock walls rise two kilometres to monolithic spires, colossal glaciers calve aquamarine icebergs 100 metres high, vast tundra feeds musk oxen and reindeer, and waterways abound with whales and seals.

Greenland, the world’s largest island, is draped in the planet’s second largest ice sheet and cut by the greatest fjords on Earth. From Northeast Greenland National Park (the world’s largest) situated south along the east coast, fjord systems wind up to 350 magical, often ice-laden kilometres from the coast.

Scenic Eclipse ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht is designed and built to Polar Class 6 standards, making it easy to explore these remote regions. Scenic Eclipse operates in places other ships can’t reach, like Kaiser Franz Josef Fjord early in the season. This red-rock wonderland of wind and wave sculpted icebergs offers a secret passage to Kong Oskar Fjord, where your expert Discovery Team will lead you on walks across blossoming tundra to encounter musk oxen families and pure white Arctic hare.

Learn what life was like for nomadic PaleoEskimos who inhabited the region for more than 4000 years, visit Inuit hunting camps abandoned two centuries ago, but remain so

well-preserved that circular stone tent rings, winter houses, bear-proof meat caches and grave sites can still be seen.

Listen as your Discovery Team historian regales you with tales of polar exploration, from Fridtjof Nansen and Otto Sverdrup’s ski crossing of the Greenland Ice Sheet in 1888, to their drift across the Arctic Ocean on board the specially designed Fram. Sverdrup’s Fram II scientific expedition, which spent four years exploring north Greenland, is an epic tale. Delight in a warm welcome to communities like remote Ittoqqortoormiit, where Inuit hunters, trappers and fishermen keep traditions alive; Narsaq, on Tunulliarfik Fjord, where Norseman Erik the Red first settled and Qaqortoq, a town of 18th-century colonial buildings and a museum featuring Greenlandic culture that is set on a bay often dotted with icebergs and lively whales.

Spend time on deck relishing the flight of fulmars as they accompany our passage.

E Ittoqqortoormiit

Watch for the beautifully patterned great northern diver, the oldest bird species in the world, or its moreshowy relative, the red-throated diver. Greenland is host to more than 60 species of birds, so ‘twitchers’ will be well-rewarded.

Transit Prins Christianssund, a narrow channel between Cape Farewell and the mainland more than 100 km long and discover why Scenic Eclipse, is truly where luxury meets discovery. Relax on your private verandah with in-suite binoculars, admiring magnificent granite walls and exquisite icebergs passing by. Or visit the Observation Lounge where precise Swarovski telescopes offer close views of minke whales, or ringed and bearded seals hauled out on floating ice.

Greenland’s west coast is swept by warm Gulf Stream currents, offering a more temperate climate and more populous towns including the capital, Nuuk.

Discover Iceland

Halfway between Norway and Greenland lies an enchanted isle, where sparkling glaciers and powerful waterfalls sculpt a landscape laid down by falling ash and molten lava. Where warm Gulf Stream waters feed millions of seabirds and whales migrate in their thousands.

Discover a unique culture peopled by Viking descendants, their Gaelic slaves and interloping pirates, who created the world’s longest continuous legislature. Delight in art and stage performances influenced by ancient Icelandic Sagas, and film locations that promote both the quirky and Nordicnoir.

Enjoy a small ship cruising experience on board Scenic Eclipse, your 6-star ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht. Its up to 20-member Discovery Team is keen to guide you to Iceland’s most memorable experiences, whether it’s stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking up mirror-smooth fjords to colourful fishing villages, spending hours on Vigur or Grimsey islands photographing puffin parents returning with beaks neatly-lined with sand eels, or coming face-to-face with cheeky Arctic foxes.

Enjoy the privilege of traversing one of the youngest geological landscapes on Earth as you hike across lava fields, walk barefoot along tranquil black sand beaches, admire grotesque lava formations or explore deep into lava tubes. Your Discovery Team geologists will share their enthusiasm for the actively spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the powerful conveyor belt of volcanic activity that has raised Iceland above sea level.

Listen to the roar of Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot springs, as its scalding waters are piped to houses in Borgarnes and Akranes up to 65 km away; or watch Strokkur, the country’s most famous geyser, shoot vast jets of boiling water 40 metres in the sky and you’ll understand why Jules Verne chose the glacier-capped Snæfellsjökull stratovolcano as the entry point to the Earth’s core in his classic novel, Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

Visit Húsavík, the first place in Iceland to be settled by a Norseman. Swedish Viking Garðar Svavarsson stayed there for one winter around 870 A.D. and left behind a member of his party and two slaves who established the first farm. Today Húsavík is known as the ‘whale watching capital’ of Iceland. Soak and relax in geothermal sea baths with stunning views of Skjálfandi Bay and the lighthouse nearby.

Every day brings new discoveries. With Scenic Freechoice, you choose the activity, whether it’s going for a walking tour of fishing villages, enjoying a performance in the Blue Church of Seyðisfjörður,or joining a local sea captain to explore the archipelago of Heimaey to find seabird colonies alive with puffins, guillemots and terns. Listen to the amazing tale of how local villagers pumped cool seawater onto lava streams advancing from nearby Eldfell volcano and thus saved their seaport. Our exclusive Scenic Enrich events offer unique and private shows that highlight Icelandic culture and folklore.

Best of all is to feel the spray, listen to the song, and photograph the beauty and wonder of Iceland’s many waterfalls. From thundering Dynjandi (‘the one that keeps hitting’), a series of cascades that tumble 100 metres in the Westfjords; Dettifoss in Vatnajökull National Park, reputed to be Europe’s second most powerful waterfall and Gullfoss, the ‘Golden Waterfall’, one of Iceland’s most beloved.

Whether you choose to circumnavigate the island on our Iceland Discovery Voyage, or visit on our Exploring the High Arctic, Arctic Adventure & Iceland, Land of Fire and Ice you’ll be enchanted forever.

Discover Iceland

Enter the land that is almost too magical to be true – an extraordinary land peppered with waterfalls, volcanoes, lava fields, geysers, geothermal pools, black sand beaches, mountains, fjords, dancing aurora lights, and Europe’s largest glacier. Here, trolls and elves are not mere ancient mythical beings, they are an intrinsic part of Icelandic culture, and traces of Viking heritage are evident in everyday life.

The Golden Circle

The most sought after route to explore Iceland, the Golden Circle covers the three most iconic attractions of the country – the Thingvellir National Park, the Gullfoss waterfall, and the Geysir Geothermal Area. Also along the way are several other lesser known, breathtaking wonders.

Thingvellir National Park is a place of geological, historical and cultural significance to Icelanders. The first Althing (the Icelandic parliament) session was held here in 930 AD. This is where the country declared its independence from Denmark in 1944, and the national park is the fascinating site of the continental drift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

The Golden Circle route gets its name from the Gullfoss Waterfall, Icelandic for Golden Waterfall. A walk along a narrow track offers spectacular close-up views of the two-tiered waterfall below. In sunny summer months, you can see a rainbow form across the cascading glacial waters, while during the winter months, the water freezes into undulating glassy waves.

The nearly 3km wide geothermal field of Geysir Geothermal Area is home to the highly active Strokkur geyser which sprouts hot scalding water 100 feet into the air every 5-10 minutes. The original ‘Great Geysir’, which lends its name to all the ‘geysers’ of the world, was known to hurl water over 200 feet into the air before it became dormant. Today, the 60 foot-wide hole of The Great Geysir quietly steams.

Icelandic cuisine

Unsurprisingly, seafood forms a large part of the Icelandic cuisine, as do lamb and dairy. The country’s culinary innovations involving fish and lamb are limitless. The kjötsúpa, traditional lamb meat soup, is a favourite during winter months. The harðfiskur, dried fish jerky, is enjoyed as a snack with butter. Pylsur, the Icelandic hot dog, is a popular fast food among locals and tourists alike. And the skyr is a yoghurt-like dairy product that serves as the perfect accompaniment to any meal. Icelanders love their ice cream and can be seen enjoying it even in the cold winter months.

Iceland – The Land of Fire & Ice

Remarkable landscapes

Bursting with creative energy and boasting a vibrant culture, Iceland’s capital Reykjavík is the perfect addition to your journey. Discover its captivating art, gourmet delights, and attractive cafes and bars on your sojourn through this land of fire and ice. Visit the northernmost capital of the world and bask in its remarkable remoteness. Home to nearly two-thirds of Iceland’s population, Reykjavík’s magnetic charm attracts locals and tourists alike. The cityscape of Reykjavík speaks to the ingenuity of its people – from the multi-coloured houses in Þingholt to the Harpa Concert Hall, whose design was inspired by the basalt landscapes of Iceland. With popular musical exports such as Björk and Sigur Rós, Icelanders’ intrinsic creativity was never in question. Soak in the dramatic landscapes and soul-soothing tranquillity of this glorious nation as you travel to quaint towns and villages that are home to some of nature’s greatest wonders, including the Deildartunguhver Hot Spring, the Gullfoss Waterfall, the Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, and the wonderfully relaxing Blue Lagoon.
