ABERCROMBIE & Kent has released a new 48-day grand Arctic voyage that departs Norway’s Svalbard archipelago and explores Greenland, Iceland, the Northwest Passage, Alaska, and the Canadian Arctic.
A major highlight of the new itinerary, which will take place aboard the luxurious mega-yacht Le Boreal, are stops on the rarely visited east coast of Greenland, calling in at sites such as the Kaiser Franz Josef Fjords, Scoresby Sound and the Inuit village of Ittoqqortoormiit.
The trip culminates with a sailing across the Arctic Circle that cruises through the Northwest Passage following in the footsteps of noted polar explorers.
Sightseeing along this leg of the voyage includes views of the Smoking Hills of Franklin Bay, the Ilulissat Icefjord on Greenland’s west coast (pictured), and the remote Yukon Territory – Canada’s westernmost province.
The A&K adventure also boasts a wide-ranging expedition team on board to help illuminate the landscapes for guests, such as conservationists, scientists and historians.
The Grand Arctic Voyage sails between 31 Jul and 16 Sep 2020, with prices starting from the earlybird rate of $82,290pp.
