Spitsbergen, Greenland & Iceland

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Spitsbergen, Greenland, and Iceland form one of the world's most dramatic Arctic travel corridors, spanning remote archipelagos and volcanic island landscapes at the top of the globe. Spitsbergen — the largest island in Norway's Svalbard archipelago — is known for polar bear sightings, midnight sun, and vast glaciers, while Greenland offers towering icebergs, the Greenland Ice Sheet, and indigenous Inuit culture. Iceland rounds out the region with its geysers, black sand beaches, lava fields, and the northern lights. Together, these destinations draw adventurous travellers seeking expedition cruising, wildlife encounters, hiking, and some of the most remote and pristine wilderness on Earth.

Three Arctic Islands: Spitsbergen, Greenland & Iceland — Self-Launched

This is one of the most remote and extraordinary journeys on Earth — and while you can't fully replicate a polar expedition ship independently, you can get remarkably close by booking directly with independent Arctic expedition operators, self-booking connecting flights, and staying in budget guesthouses in Helsinki and Reykjavik. The key savings come from cutting out the tour operator's premium margin, choosing shared cabin berths on independent polar voyages (e.g. via Oceanwide Expeditions, Albatros Expeditions, or Poseidon Expeditions), and booking your own international flights. Note: the at-sea cruise days are inherently guided by the nature of polar expedition sailing — what you're self-launching here is the booking, logistics, and land arrangements around the voyage. All costs below are approximate estimates in GBP per person.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.
