While it is a stark and barren country with three huge areas of glaciers, one theory is that early Norsemen sought to mislead other potential settlers by giving a pleasant name to fierce, inhospitable Greenland, and a forbidding name to the imminently habitable Iceland. Irish monks and hermits established themselves here in the 8th century, but left a century later when the paga... ### Day 2: Grundarfjordur, Iceland **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The charming small fishing village of Grundarfjörður is located in the middle of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and thus provides easy access to Stykkishólmur, Snæfellsbær and the Snæfellsnes National Park. Its best-known landmark is undoubtedly the peak of Mt. Kirkjufell. Translated as ‘church mountain,’ Kirkjufell is the most easily recognizable peak, and one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland. During summer months a Viking Village is built in the center of town where Viking r... ### Day 3: Isafjordur, Iceland **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Like most Icelandic towns, this one on the northwest coast was started by fisherman and whalers. The name means ice-fjord. It is a perfect place from which to explore the cultural and economic staples of Iceland. An excursion to Sudavik reveals a town started by whalers and nearly destroyed by an avalanche in 1995, now rebuilt out of the path of further slides. Its lovely church was donated by whalers, as well. The own also holds a center for the study of the indigenous arctic foxes. The Maritim... ### Day 4: Akureyri, Iceland **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Akureyri is the second largest urban area in Iceland with a population of around 18,000. Nicknamed ‘The Capital of the North,’ it is situated at the head of Eyjafjörður, the longest fjord in Iceland, only 62 miles (100 km) from the Arctic Circle. Surrounded by snow-streaked mountains, the Akureyri hills flourish in summer with a profusion of arctic wildflowers. Mt. Kerling is the highest peak visible from town, at 5,064’ (1,538 m). Often cloudy, with a mild climate, Akureyri has much les... ### Day 5: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 6: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 7: Qaqortoq, Greenland **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:30 PM The largest town in South Greenland with over 3,500 citizens, Qaqortoq was founded in 1775 and still reveals some examples of colonial-period architecture.

Like other towns in Greenland, there are also possibilities to buy examples of traditional Inuit arts and crafts, including items crafted of bone, soapstone and wild-harvested furs. ### Day 8: Nanortalik, Greenland **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The immense scale of the peaks around this village dwarfs anything built there. Still, the tall white steeple of the church juts up with a spirit of endurance and perseverance that matches the character of those who make this arctic outpost their home. It also echoes the shape of icebergs floating in the surrounding seas, shed from the immense icefields that cover much of the island. ### Day 9: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 10: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 11: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 12: L'anse Aux Meadows, Canada **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Located at the most northerly tip of Newfoundland, L'Anse aux Meadows is nestled near the fishing village of St. Anthony. It is the site of the first European settlement in the New World, approximately 500 years before Columbus' arrival. Other Norse groups had relocated from their homelands to the New World. In 1961, explorer and writer Helge Instad discovered a group of large mounds in the countryside. These mounds were excavated revealing the remains of a Norse settlement. This site became L'A... ### Day 13: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 14: Gaspe, Quebec, CA **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM At the tip of Quebec’s southern peninsula, in the heart of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Gaspé is like a remnant of Brittany marooned on the North American continent. Charming fishing villages, lighthouses and marine vistas abound.

A lighthouse now warns others away. ### Day 16: Sydney,Canada **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The coast of Cape Breton Island is washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Northumberland Strait. Its land mass encloses the Bras d'Or, an inland sea with perhaps the least polluted salt water in the world. The island was claimed for England by John Cabot in 1497. The early settlers, predominately from the Highlands of Scotland, were reminded of their homeland by the rugged hills near Baddeck. The island's topography is characterized by massive rolling hills, picturesque valleys and c... ### Day 17: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 18: Halifax, Nova Scotia **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM With its exceptionally delightful harbor side setting, early Europeans were first attracted to Halifax in 1749 with the establishment here of a military outpost by Colonel Cornwallis.

In 1783, these included a large number of escaped African-American slaves who founded Birchtown, at that time the largest free black community in North America. A decade later, some 1,000 of them accepted a British offer to be relocated to the new African colony in Freetown, Sierra ... ### Day 20: Portland, Maine **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM Welcome to the cultural and commercial center of the state of Maine. Although it is only one-tenth the size of Boston, Portland is the most populous city in the state. Some say Portland is a city "too good to be true." Mainers boast about the quality of their lives and on today's call you see why. Perhaps it's the spectacular coastline, the restored waterfront buildings, a ferry boat ride, the delicious Maine lobster, a view from the rocks at Portland Head Light, or simply the smell of the clean... ### Day 21: Boston, Massachusetts **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM Abundant with history, Boston is a pure delight for any visitor.

When French explorer Samuel de Champlain first dropped anchor here in 1604 he was so impressed by the outline of its towering peaks that he named it "the island of wilderness mountains" - Isle des Monts Deserts. Locals call it the place where the mountains meet the sea. Pink granite mountains give way to pristine freshwater lakes on one side and the mighty Atlantic on ... ### Day 27: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 28: Halifax, Nova Scotia **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM With its exceptionally delightful harbor side setting, early Europeans were first attracted to Halifax in 1749 with the establishment here of a military outpost by Colonel Cornwallis.

On either side, domes of rock are furred with forests of conifer and hardwoods whose fallen foliage gives the fjord its tea-colored hue. At the head of this spectacular waterway, the newly-created Port Saguenay provides easy access to the natural splendors of the Laurentian forests, a favorite year-round playground of the Quebecois. ### Day 33: Quebec City, Quebec **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Founded in 1608 as a fur-trading base by Samuel de Champlain, Québec has a long and exciting history.
