Remote Westfjords Connected to the rest of Iceland by a narrow, rocky isthmus, the secluded Westfjords unfold as a series of dramatic peninsulas and inlets that fan out across the sea like a massive human hand. This is a wild and untouched area that's considered unique and exciting even by Icelandic standards.

W hale-watching in Skjalfandi Bay Observing a whale in the wild is an incomparable experience. The sight of its massive body majestically rising from the water and then lifting its tail n in farewell is an image that will stay with you forever. The ocean around Iceland is particularly welcoming to the world's largest mammals and with 23 different types of whales passing through these waters. Nowhere else on the planet is there a greater variety.

Vatnajรถkull glacial Lagoon With icebergs constantly breaking off from the largest glacier in Europe straight into Vatnaj kull Lagoon, a trip there offers an up- close glimpse at one of the great spectacles of Icelandic nature. Agreat way to experience the magic of the lagoon is sailing among the huge icebergs, marveling at the natural ice sculptures and the shifting colors of the ice.

Volcanic Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) Ajourney to any of the 15 Westman Islands offers an ideal chance for birdwatching and getting back to nature. The steep cliffs and lush vegetation are home to more than 30 avian species which nest in the cliffs and grassy ledges, as well as about 150 plant species and 80 types of insects. However, the islands are located in an active volcanic zone with the people of Heimaey (the only inhabited island) living with the constant threat of violent eruption. In many places you can still see houses half buried by lava and ash from the last major eruption in 1973, which destroyed half the town.

GREENLAND Viking Ruins in South Greenland Living up to its name, southern Greenland is fertile and lush. During the summer, visitors encounter blankets of wild owers which form a vibrant contrast to the icebergs oating in the nearby fjords and the massive inland ice cap. Over 1,000 years ago, Erik the Red decided to settle here and gave the unknown country its name. Today, many ruins recall the history of those early Norse settlers.

Boiling mud holes

Stunning Disko Bay Atrip around the mirror- like waters of Disko Bay allows you to enjoy the amazing shapes and colors of hundreds of huge icebergs. This ever- changing display is a result of large pieces of ice calving (breaking off) from the outer edge of Sermeq Kualleq Glacier and oating through the Ilulissat Ice Fjord into the bay. The rich waters of Disko Bay also attract an array of whales, seabirds and other wildlife.

Isolated East Greenland Iceland's east coast is one of the most isolated regions in the world with a dramatic landscape anked by an icecap rising to 8,000 feet as well as drifting sea ice from the North Pole. This seclusion is the reason why traditions and culture run deeper here than anywhere else on the polar island. Along this 12,500- mile- long coastline you nd only two cities and ve settlements with a total population of just 3,500 people. Untouched nature with huge fjords and mighty icebergs dominate the landscape.

stunning scenery. You also have an opportunity to join an adventurous snowcat expedition to the extinct volcano glacier Snaefellsj kull with our experienced guides. The glacier is one of the most famous sites in Iceland primarily because it was featured in the novel, `Journey to the Centre of the Earth', by Jules Verne in which the entrance to the mysterious interior of our planet is located on Snaefellsj kull.

Day 1 | Reykjavik Use the day in Reykjavik to explore the highlights of the world's northernmost national capital city on your own, or book one of our exciting precruise options and discover Reykjavik and its surroundings by land or air.

Enjoy silence and nature while sea shing or bird watching on the small island of Vigur, or by visiting the Dynjandi Waterfall, the highest cascade in this area.

Day 2 | Stykkisholmur Stykkisholmur is the starting point for our explorations of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, which juts out from Iceland's west coast. Like a long arm with a clenched st at its tip, the peninsula is in many ways a microcosm of the whole island.

Day 9 | Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) Located about ve miles off the coast of southern Iceland, the island group Vestmannaeyjar were formed by submarine volcanic eruptions around 10,000 years ago. The youngest of the islands only emerged from the sea in 1963. We go ashore in the harbor of Heimaey, the only inhabited island of the group. Residents here live with the constant threat of another violent eruption. In 1973, the entire population had to be evacuated after Helgafell Volcano suddenly exploded. In many places in Heimaey one still sees the houses half buried by lava and ash. We circumnavigate the island in our Zodiacs and stop at places of interest where you will get to know the local bird life, visit caves and, if lucky, spot whales. There is also the opportunity to play an extraordinary round of golf in a sunken volcanic crater.

Day 10 | Reykjavik In the morning we return to the port of Reykjavik. After breakfast it's time to bid farewell to the Ocean Diamond.

GREENLAND

Walruses in Greenland

Im m e rse yo u rsel f c o m p let e ly in t his u niq u e w o rld The world's largest island unfolds as a land of stark contrasts, both natural and human. Greenland's landscapes are immense and strikingly beautiful. Massive, multi- hued ice formations; deep- blue fjords wedged between jutting cliffs, steaming hot springs, unique ora and fauna, never ending green pastures and the clearest of skies, the midnight sun and the northern lights are just part of what makes this country so unique.

where life runs at a much different pace. The short Artic summer is intense. Flowers, herbs and mosses explode into a sea of color in Greenland's coastal valleys and mountains, taking advantage of the warmth and giving new character to the scenery for a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, dog sleds and snowmobiles are casually parked in front of the houses and barns waiting for the onset of another long winter.

Immerse yourself completely in this unique world. And let yourself get carried away by the openness and warmth of the Greenlanders, who trace their ancestors to the island's ancient Inuit inhabitants and intrepid Scandinavians who rst arrived on the island more than a thousand years ago. Their vibrant houses are like splashes of color scattered along the shore and stand in striking contrast to the rocky landscape and the massive inland ice cap which is omnipresent in Greenland.

Greenland providesan ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife. Whalesmajestically rising from the sea, musk oxen grazing on grassy shoresand, of course, the king of the Arctic, the polar bear, are just a few of Greenland'siconic animals. Our cruises take you from the lush landscapes of South Greenland, to the vast, ice- lled fjord systems of West Greenland and the remote, traditional settlements of East Greenland.

The customer retains the right to transfer the booking to a person that ful ls the terms and conditions of the agreement if he/she cannot travel him/herself. The person transferring the booking and the person who takes on the booking will be solely responsible for payment of outstanding amounts and any fees and additional costs incurred as a result of this change.
