Today we landed at Jan Mayen island, one of only 3 cruise ships to visit the island this season due to the weather.

Jan Mayen is an isolated Norwegian island halfway between Svalbard and Iceland. The most prominent feature on the island is the snow-covered volcano Beerenberg and its ice cap. (Which we unfortunately couldn’t see today due to the fog) Although the island and surrounding sea have been used for whaling and sealing, the only people living on the island now are members of the Norwegian Armed Forces and of the Meteorological Station on Jan Mayen’s southeastern side.

We now have a day at sea before we finally arrive in Svalbard to find ourselves a Polar Bear!

This afternoon we arrived at Vigur Island which is the second largest island in the Isafjardardjup Fjord, measuring 2 kilometers in length by 400 meters in width. It is home to a single sheep farming family, which ferries the sheep in summer across to the mainland, so that the Eider Ducks nesting on the island will not be disturbed.

Guests took a leisurely walk across the island to take in the beautiful scenery and to observe the large colony of Arctic Terns, Black Guillemots and Atlantic Puffins.

This morning we arrived in Stykkishólmur, located in western Iceland at the northern end of the Snæfellsnes peninsula.

Its natural harbour allowed this town to become an important trading center early in Iceland’s history. The first trading post was established in the 1550s, and still today fishing is the major industry.

The town center boasts beautiful and well-preserved old houses from earlier times.

Today we set out on a full day tour of the Golden Circle where we combined the natural and historical wonders of Iceland.

Of course, no trip to Africa would be complete without thrilling wildlife encounters – think lions and elephants in their natural habitat. And for the history and politics buffs, we’ll visit sites central to South Africa’s inspiring transition to true democracy and to the life of the rainbow nation’s father, Nelson Mandela.

As our adventure crescendos amidst the untamed beauty of Botswana’s Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta, and the thundering spectacle of Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls, you'll come to understand why Southern Africa leaves a lifelong mark on those lucky enough to visit!

Our adventure begins in one of our favourite cities in the world, Cape Town. A melting pot of cultures, cuisines and landscapes, there's nowhere quite like Cape Town, a singularly beautiful city crowned by the magnificent Table Mountain.

If you’re anything like us, the hotel is one of the things you look forward to most when travelling. In Cape Town we stay at the newly re-opened Cape Grace, there are many things to love about the Cape Grace Hotel. Effortlessly stylish, incredibly indulgent and in an unrivalled location on a private quay in the heart of Cape Town, the 5-star Cape Grace has become one of the world’s premier hotels, above all thanks to the personalised service and absolute attention paid to each guest.
