Arctic Nature Boat Tour – Scotland, Jan Mayen and Spitsbergen
Starting from Aberdeen, this fortnight boat trip explores wildlife and nature as you sail to the Orkneys, Faroe Islands, Jan Mayen Island and the Svalbard Archipelago pack ice in search for polar bears. Combining the North Atlantic Ocean’s wildest outposts, this voyage takes you from historic Orkneys to the lush and craggy Faroe Islands, with its cliffs teeming with seabirds. From here, you’ll voyage across to the ice-covered slopes of Mount Beerenberg, the northern-most volcano in the world, situated on Jan Mayen Island, before venturing in search of enigmatic polar bears, hunting on the Svalbard pack ice. Summer in the Arctic, especially north of the Arctic Circle, means days of near endless daylight, allowing you to experience as much as possible under the light of the Midnight Sun.
- Visit Skara Brae – the 5,000 year old subterranean village
- Be one of the privileged few – to visit Jan Mayen Island
- Zodiac cruise – beneath vertical cliffs teeming with birdlife
