Sign up to our Volcano Hotline and you could be first in line to catch the action. We work closely with the Icelandic authorities to monitor eruptions, and if they are safe to visit, we’ll move fast to get you there.

🔍💚 40 Ways to Discover #12: Trace the incredible journeys of polar explorers like Shackleton 🧭🏔️

Polar exploration is a theme on many of our voyages to the ends of the earth. There are gripping tales of heroism to be uncovered in the Arctic as you cruise the Northwest Passage, while the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia is the final resting place of Sir Ernest Shackleton. Several of our small-ship voyages feature this spectacular island where you can visit the grave of the famous explorer.

Our team recently hiked the stunning Queen’s Trail in Norway, a 15 km journey through majestic fjords, rugged peaks, and peaceful valleys. Originally a route used by the Norwegian Queen Sonja, it’s now known for its jaw-dropping views and scenic trails. It’s a challenging hike, but the views are worth every step 😍
