Important!

  • All itineraries are for guidance only. Programs may vary depending on ice, weather, and wildlife conditions. Landings are subject to site availability, permissions, and environmental concerns per State and AECO regulations. Official sailing plans and landing slots are scheduled prior to the start of the season, but the expedition leader will determine the final plan. Flexibility is paramount for expedition cruises. Our vessel';s average cruising speed is 10.5 knots. The probability of reaching Isle de France in the second week of September with m/v Hondius is about 70% (based on ice charts from the last 12 years).
