One of the most remote settlements on Earth, Ittoqqortoormiit sits cradled on the edge of a rocky peninsula, dappled with the vivid reds, yellows and greens of local homes. During your visit, you’ll explore the quaint museum and learn all about the native Palaeo-Eskimo people before cruising deeper into the Northeast Greenland National Park.

Here, in the largest national park in the world, your expedition team will keep watch in the hope of seeing polar bears and Arctic foxes from the comfort of the ship, or you can explore further afield with the kayaks, Zodiacs and custom-built submarines on board.

Renowned for its meticulously curated itineraries, it’s the APT Signature Experiences that go above and beyond. In Husavik, you’ll board a local oak fishing boat in Skjalfandi Bay for a private whale-watching tour, and in Seydisfjordur, your private visit to Vök Baths on the banks of Lake Urridavatn is sure to reinvigorate your senses. Open exclusively for APT guests, these floating infinity pools are filled with Iceland’s purest hot-spring water and boast panoramic views of the surrounding moss-green hills.

Cruise into luxury

With sensational APT experiences in up to 10 destinations, you’ll never struggle to find adventure on land — and neither will you at sea. In the Discovery Centre, the ship’s academic hub, you’ll be treated to captivating presentations designed to enrich your journey.

In 2025, Sir Peter Cosgrove, former Governor-General and retired chief of the Australian Defence Force, will be onboard to host. Sir Peter will conduct several lectures on various topics including World War I/II history and geopolitics, plus Q&A sessions — a series not to be missed. He will also conduct hosted dinners.

Boasting 132 suites, every room on the ship features a verandah and ocean-front views, providing the perfect spot to take in the stunning Arctic backdrop. You’ll also enjoy an included personalised mini-bar, separate sitting areas, walk-in robes and ensuites with a standalone bath and shower. With six accommodation options to choose from, there’s no need to limit your level of luxury.

After a day spent exploring — perhaps following your trip to the steam vents of Lake Myvatn and the tumbling falls of Godafoss — there’s nothing quite like retreating to your suite with a glass of champagne from the bar. If you’re feeling a bit more energised, though, take advantage of the premium wellness spaces on board, including the spa, sauna, pool and fitness centre.

To fuel up for your offshore pursuits, the ship’s seven world-class restaurants are also sure to impress. Ranging from gourmet meals and lavish buffets to made-to-order sushi and 24-hour in-suite dining, culinary delights aren’t hard to find. Simply indulge, relax and prepare for tomorrow’s adventure.
