Secret Atlas has announced two new expedition micro cruises to the Arctic, offering a unique opportunity for 12 guests to capture the Northern Lights this September.
These exclusive tours are designed for travellers seeking a more intimate experience, with one-to-one photography tuition and expert-led exploration in remote Arctic locations.
The cruises, aboard the ice-strengthened vessels Freya and Vikingfjord, will navigate deep into narrow fjords, providing a stable platform for long-exposure photography. The voyages are scheduled for the latter half of September, a prime time for witnessing the Northern Lights in Scoresbysund, East Greenland, under a full moon. Guests will benefit from the expertise of renowned polar photographers Randy Hanna and Virgil Reglioni, who will offer hands-on tuition throughout the journey.
Departing from Longyearbyen, the tours include a charter flight from Keflavik Airport to Constable Point in Scoresbysund, overnight hotel accommodation, and dinner upon return to Iceland. Prices start at $13,400 (US$13,400) per person for the tour with Randy Hanna, departing on 21 and 28 September, and $12,800 (US$12,800) for the tour with Virgil Reglioni, departing on 28 September. Both tours promise encounters with local wildlife, including musk ox, Arctic foxes, and potentially polar bears and narwhals.
