DAYS

Highlights

  • Over 12-days, sail in comfort along Iceland’s Westfjords and Greenland’s eastern coast aboard the National Geographic Endurance, the world’s most advanced ice-class expedition ship
  • Conditions permitting, experience nearly two minutes standing in the Moon’s shadow during the August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse, with increased chances for clear skies in the unusually sunny microclimate created around Greenland’s Scoresbysund, the largest and longest fjord system on Earth
  • Immerse yourself in the pristine scenery of the Westfjords of Iceland as well as the fjord-lined coast of Northeast Greenland National Park – the largest national park in the world
  • Conditions permitting, discover opportunities for backcountry hiking, wildlife viewing and sea kayaking in Iceland’s protected fjord system
  • Explore bays and inlets with opportunities to view seals, whales and polar bears
  • Take advantage of easy international flight access through Iceland’s picturesque, seaside capital of historic Reykjavik

Imagine you’re on the deck of an expedition ship, anchored in a fjord beneath snow-capped peaks on Greenland’s eastern coast. Overhead, seabirds wheel and dive, snatching fish from under the waves before soaring back up to their colonies in the cliffs. Our guide points out a polar bear picking its way along a rocky shoreline exposed by the receding ice sheet. Then, looking toward the open sea, you spot a patch of water churned to foam by the flukes of a sounding whale. Conditions permitting, to complete this picture of nature at its most awe-inspiring, the Moon begins to pass in front of the Sun, enveloping the barren landscape in its shadow for approximately two minutes of totality.

TravelQuest invites you on a remarkable 12-day voyage as we sail from Reykjavik, Iceland, across the Denmark Strait to explore Northeast Greenland National Park – the world’s largest, covering more area than 85% of countries around the globe. We also cruise into Scoresbysund, the planet’s largest fjord system (ice permitting), to spot wildlife, visit a remote Inuit community and, on August 12, 2026, witness the total solar eclipse from our world-class expedition ship.

Then we’re off to Iceland’s remote Westfjords region to discover the island nation’s cuisine, culture and rich history. When our memorable cruise comes to an end in Reykjavik, everyone is given options to visit either Iceland’s famed Blue Lagoon thermal baths or the Reykjanes Peninsula to view the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, prior to your flight home.

We hope you’ll join TravelQuest on this unique astronomical cruise. Our ship, National Geographic Endurance, carries only 138 adventurers, so start making your plans today for what we expect will be a one-of-a-kind adventure.

 

Eclipse Day Viewing Prospects from Scoresbysund, Greenland
By TravelQuest Eclipse Meteorologist Jay Anderson

Every now and then, Nature gives us a hidden spot where the weather and clouds seem to melt away, making a sunny oasis in the midst of a gray overcast. Coleridge called such a place Xanadu, and the 2026 eclipse has its own Xanadu in the fjords of Greenland. As the eclipse shadow crosses Greenland from the north, it reaches Scoresbysund, a deep fjord (the world’s largest) that stretches all the way to the island’s center line and beyond. Air flowing down from the Greenland Ice Cap into the sound dries and warms, forming an unusually sunny microclimate. Satellite observations from August 12 in past years show a better than 70 percent chance of seeing the eclipse from the fjord – among the best prospects along the whole of the eclipse track, in a spectacular Greenland landscape.

Itinerary

On arrival in Reykjavík (airport code: KEF), you’re met by our TravelQuest representative, who introduces you to Iceland’s capital with a tour of landmark Hallgrímskirkja Cathedral, followed by a visit to the National Museum, renowned for its Viking treasures. In the afternoon, we board National Geographic Endurance, our floating home base for the next 12 days, and set a course for Iceland’s Westfjords.

DATE(S): Wednesday, August 5, 2026

MEALS: Lunch / Dinner

ACCOMMODATION: National Geographic Endurance

As we explore Iceland’s rugged western coast, you have many options for immersing yourself in the stunning scenery, whether paddling a deep fjord in a sea kayak, hiking inland to a remote waterfall or spotting wildlife from a Zodiac speeding across a sheltered bay.

DATE(S): Thursday, August 6, 2026

MEALS: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner

ACCOMMODATION: National Geographic Endurance

Today we sail across the Denmark Strait, with luck encountering icebergs carried southward by the East Greenland Current. Relax and enjoy the passing views, along with enriching presentations from our onboard historians, naturalists, and photographers!

DATE(S): Friday, August 7, 2026

MEALS: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner

ACCOMMODATION: National Geographic Endurance

    

As our ship reaches Greenland, we head well up the fjord-lined coast of Northeast Greenland National Park, the largest in the world, which protects 972,000 sq km (375,000 sq mi) of pristine wilderness. Our exact route will be dictated by weather and ice conditions. The Greenland ice sheet, which covers about 80 percent of this vast island (an autonomous territory belonging to Denmark) will have retreated considerably by the end of summer, giving us access to some of the countless bays and inlets that cut into its beautifully untouched shoreline. As we explore, there should be opportunities to spot Arctic wildlife, including seals, whales and polar bears.

DATE(S): Saturday, August 8 - Tuesday, August 11, 2026

MEALS: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner

ACCOMMODATION: National Geographic Endurance

Sailing back down past the park’s southern boundary, we head into Scoresbysund, the largest and longest fjord system on Earth, which offers more stunning vistas with each passing mile – and from every railing and window on the ship. Then on August 12, the captain, coordinating with our TravelQuest eclipse astronomer, will seek out the very best position for watching the Moon’s shadow pass over the fjord in a total eclipse of the Sun.

MEALS: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner

ACCOMMODATION: National Geographic Endurance

As we sail back across the Denmark Strait, on a bearing just south of the Arctic Circle, we return once again to the cliff-lined coast of Iceland’s Westfjords. In Ísafjörður, the region’s largest town, you can walk around the natural harbor ringed by low mountains, admiring timber-framed houses dating back to the 1700s. There are also good chances to enjoy traditional Icelandic cuisine — much of it naturally focused on seafood, as fishing has been the main livelihood of this remote area, and indeed all of Iceland, for generations. Tonight we toast the end of a great adventure, extraordinary memories, and new friendships at our farewell meal.

DATE(S): Thursday, August 13 - Saturday, August 15, 2026

MEALS: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner

ACCOMMODATION: National Geographic Endurance

As we sail back into Reykjavík, you have three choices after disembarking: transfer to the airport for your flight homeward (or on to further adventures); extend your stay in Reykjavík and explore on your own; or take advantage of our options to visit either Iceland’s famed Blue Lagoon thermal baths or the Reykjanes Peninsula to view the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, prior to your flight home.

DATE(S): Sunday, August 16, 2026

MEALS: Breakfast / Lunch

Cruise Information

National Geographic Endurance

Overview

The National Geographic Endurance (debuting in July 2021) is a next-generation expedition ship, purpose-built for polar navigation. As a fully stabilized, highly strengthened, ice-class Polar Code PC5 (Category A) vessel, it is designed to navigate polar passages year-round, and safely explore unchartered waters, while providing exceptional comfort. Its patented X-BOW® is key to its design; its powerful wave-slicing action provides an extremely smooth ride in even adverse conditions, and reduces spray on deck, for superior observation. She carries a full suite of expedition tools and offers a variety of experience-enhancing amenities.

The Endurance accommodates 138 guests in 76 spacious cabins – including two newly added solo units. Each cabin faces outward and has a large window or balcony, a private bathroom, individual climate control, Wi-Fi and an expedition command center with tablet and USB/mobile device docking.

Experience

Dining

Food served aboard is fresh, local, delicious, and sourced from suppliers who share our values of sustainable use whenever possible. Meals aboard are almost always served in the dining room, located aft of the lounge deck. When weather conditions allow, lighter fare may be served on the observation deck. There is no assigned seating and our dining room accommodates the entire expedition community. During meals, your expedition leader, naturalists, and any guest speakers aboard will join you.

The ship features two restaurants, featuring local, sustainable choices and open seating for flexible, inclusive dining: plus, a Chef’s table for intimate, small group dining. The main restaurant has 270º views, and the Observation deck restaurant features lighter, made-to-order fare.

Public Areas

Public areas include an Observation Lounge with bar, gym, Wellness area, infinity-style outdoor hot tubs, library, main lounge with full-service bar, 24-hour beverage station, state-of-the-art facilities for films, slideshows and presentations, and a photo workshop area; plus, an expedition base with lockers for expedition gear, and an “open bridge” for access to our captain, officers and the art of navigation. The vessel is staffed by our wellness specialists and features a glass-enclosed yoga studio, gym, treatment rooms and spa relaxation area, and high- and low-heat saunas with ocean views.

Electronic charts

An electronic chart showing the ship’s location, course, and speed is almost always on display in the lounge.

 

 

Open bridge

You’ll find our captains are engaged, knowledgeable members of your expedition who are eager to share their passion with you. National Geographic Endurance’s open bridge features comfortable spaces to sit, enjoy the view, drink your morning coffee, or simply chat with the officers.  

 

 

National Geographic Endurance’s Tools for Exploration

Expedition Landing Craft

Key to our operation is our fleet of expedition landing craft, which we use to land in places that would otherwise be inaccessible. With 14 of these boats and two loading stations used every time we disembark, we’re able to transfer guests off the ship quickly, so you can be out on adventures, not idly waiting. The expedition landing craft we use are 19 feet long, powered by four-stroke outboard engines, and are capable of comfortably carrying 10-12 people. They are widely recognized as the safest and most versatile small boats afloat.

Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)

Capable of reaching 1,000 feet, far beyond the range of any Scuba diver, the ROV allows you to literally view parts of the undersea that are as unexplored as the Moon. Chances are, you, like many of our guests, will be struck by how surprisingly colorful undersea life is in these unlikely places. This glimpse may fundamentally change how you view the ocean!

Kayaks

National Geographic Endurance will be equipped with a fleet of kayaks large enough to ensure everyone who wants to can paddle at every opportunity, conditions permitting. Prior kayaking experience isn’t necessary—many of our guests have their first kayaking experience in extraordinary locations. Our custom-designed floating platform lets us deploy kayaks from the ship, or any location we want—including far from shore. Kayakers are usually free to explore where they want within boundaries set by the undersea specialist and officer of the watch.

Underwater camera

Our undersea specialist will dive often during your expedition, even in the polar regions, with cold-water gear, to shoot high-definition, Cousteau-like footage of the deep. Colorful nudibranchs, swimming, plant-like crinoids, and mysterious fish with antifreeze blood that thrive in the frigid sea will give you an entirely new appreciation of the marine environment.

Video microscope

Naturalists will use the video microscope to help explain all elements of the environment, including tiny organisms that are the building block of the marine ecosystem. Spellbinding live views of krill at 80x magnification populate the high-definition screens in the lounge with vivid detail and fills every onlooker with a sense of wonder at the importance of otherwise unobservable creatures.

Hydrophone

This underwater microphone is deployed to listen to the vocalizations of marine mammals. Real time transmissions of their eerie, haunting sounds can be broadcast or recorded for later playback. Few experiences in nature are as captivating as watching humpback whales feed close to the ship as their vocalizations play through the ship’s PA system.

Special Features

  • Full-time doctor
  • Undersea specialist

Important

  • TravelQuest creates and markets tours many months or years in advance of departure. Tour prices, taxes and airfares quoted in this brochure are based on tariffs, costs and US dollar exchange rates that were in effect at the time of publication.
