Dynjandi Waterfalls, Iceland

Popularly known as the most beautiful attraction of Westfjords, Dynjandi waterfall is the biggest fall in the region. Also known as Fjallfoss, it is the first in a series of 7 waterfalls with a cumulative height of 100m, being 30m wide at the top and 60m wide at the base. While each of the waterfall beneath the main one on top is spectacular on its own, the cumulative effect of the seven falls is impressive and immersive. The sheer volume of water and its sound and power is surreal. Dynjandi in Icelandic means thunderous/resounding and the falls do justice to their name. The step-like composition and the crystal-clear water cascading the falls give the appearance of a beautiful bridal veil.

Isafjordur,Iceland

Isafjordur is the largest town in northwestern Iceland and the administrative center of the Westfjords. It lies in a narrow and picturesque fjord, surrounded by steep mountains that give it both a striking natural setting and a sense of isolation. Historically, it was an important hub for fishing and shipping, while today it plays a key role in the region’s economy, culture, and tourism. Ísafjörður hosts cultural festivals, has a vibrant music scene, and attracts travelers seeking an authentic experience of the Westfjords’ nature, with activities such as hiking, kayaking, and birdwatching.

Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland

Ittoqqortoormiit is one of the most remote settlements in Greenland, located at the entrance of the vast Scoresby Sound fjord on the island’s northeastern coast. Founded in 1925 by a group of Inuit hunters, it still relies heavily on traditional fishing and hunting. The settlement is extremely isolated, with access mainly by helicopter or by ship during the summer months, while winter is dominated by snow and ice. Ittoqqortoormiit offers a rare glimpse into life under extreme Arctic conditions, with wild landscapes, icebergs, and the impressive Scoresby Sound providing its dramatic natural setting.

Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord

Carving deep into north-eastern Greenland, Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord promises cinematic scenery along every turn. Taking its name from the audacious expedition that brought the first Europeans to chart these remote realms, the fjord owes its title to the Austro-Hungarian leader who fiscally sponsored the daring explorations. Nestled within the vast and dramatic wilderness of Northeast Greenland National Park, the majestic fjord is surely fit for an emperor - and the sense of adventure remains palpable. Opening up into Foster Bay and the Greenland Sea, this fjord alone reaches inland for 120 miles, evolving and branching into one of Greenland's most expansive and awe-inspiring fjord systems. Towering, sheer mountains plunge suddenly into deep, inky-dark seas, while landmark formations - dashed with coppery-red hues - combine to create amazing photogenic landscapes. Encounter the astonishing scale of massive glacial chunks, birthed by terminating glaciers, as they embark on their own long and leisurely journeys. Get down onto the placid water to explore, paddling up close to ice floes, while curious seabirds circle above. Memorable northerly wildlife encounters could occur at any moment in this spectacular locale - keep your eyes peeled for narwhals and perhaps creamy-white beluga whales breaching. You might even strike it lucky and spot elusive polar bears padding along the shoreline.

King Oscar Fjord

King Oscar Fjord is located in eastern Greenland and is one of the region’s most impressive glacial inlets. It stretches over a long distance and is surrounded by steep mountains, glaciers, and colorful geological layers that create striking landscapes. The area is remote and almost uninhabited, home to rich Arctic wildlife such as seals, seabirds, and occasionally polar bears. King Oscar Fjord mainly attracts scientific expeditions and expedition cruise travelers who seek the wild beauty and tranquility of Greenland’s nature.

Scoresby Sund, Greenland

Scoresby Sund is a scenic and the largest fjord system in the world, in East Greenland. The exploration of the area offers spectacular views of the amazing nature. Imposing icebergs, blue icy waters, the arctic wildlife and the arctic climate make the visit here a unique experience. Enjoy the tranquility of the place and visit the only inhabited place here, the remote village of Ittoqqortoormiit.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Reykjavik is a perfect town, with plenty of room, clean air, vibrant culture and beautiful environment. The southernmost capital of the world has it all. To enrich your knowledge of the Norwegian and Icelandic culture, visit the National Museum and the wooden buildings of the old city of Reykjavik. Afterwards leave the city behind and drive across landscapes of fire, ice and geysers to indulge in spas, that steam gushes.Don't miss such an ethereal experience.

In this way we can preserve the special Silversea experience our guests have come to expect ... the intimate ambience, personal service and access to more intriguing secluded ports.

SMALLER GETS YOU CLOSER

Our small ships are agile enough to visit more remote, lesser-known ports and to bring you closer to some of the world's greatest destinations. They can sail up narrow waterways into the heart of a city, they can navigate around tiny islands and they can tie up right at the dock while others must anchor offshore. In the world of upscale cruising, less is more... considerably more, as our seven small ships offer infinite opportunities across all seven continents.
