Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime, 69-day odyssey that traces the far reaches of the North Atlantic and Pacific, blending Viking history, Arctic exploration and the cultural wonders of Japan. Begin in Iceland and Greenland, navigating Erik the Red’s legendary route through majestic fjords and along ice-sculpted shores, and continue into the fabled Northwest Passage, crossing from Greenland to Alaska. As you explore Alaska’s remote and rugged Aleutian Islands and the Pacific’s "Ring of Fire," encounter rare wildlife and untamed landscapes before reaching Japan. In this storied island nation, where ancient samurai traditions meet modern culture, uncover imperial dynasties, sacred shrines and volcanic vistas.
