Our expedition began in Reykjavík, Iceland’s energetic capital nestled between mountains and sea. As we stepped aboard and met fellow travellers and our Expedition Team, the excitement was palpable. The city’s vibrant art, volcanic landscapes, and the shimmering Atlantic offered a fitting prelude to the journey ahead. That evening, we sailed away under the golden summer light, leaving behind the comforts of the city for the wild promise of the Arctic.
