Day 1
Cruise Begins
Greenock, United Kingdom
Start in Scotland's stylish city of culture. A former industrial powerhouse, Glasgow has reinvented itself as a cultural hot spot that is packed with museums, galleries, and parks. Discover the splendid Art Nouveau architecture of Charles Rennie Mackintosh before your expedition cruise begins. If you also want to experience some of Scotland's unique history and nature, you could arrive a little earlier and join one of the optional Pre-Programs. You'll embark MS Spitsbergen, one of Hurtigruten's smaller vessels that is purpose-built for close-up exploration, at Glasgow (Greenock). Get to know the ship before meeting the Expedition Team-your guides for the adventure ahead. Enjoy your first onboard dinner as we set sail. ... Read More

Isle of Arran, Scotland, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
Enjoy wildlife spotting on Arran. Welcome to the Isle of Arran with its heather-cloaked landscapes. Known as "Scotland in miniature", Arran's varied landscape is split by the Highland Boundary Fault, which gives the island its distinctive highland peaks in the north and lush lowlands in the south. Go on a hike with views of the craggy peaks of Goat Fell and see if you can spot Scotland's "Big Five:" the golden eagle, red deer, red squirrel, otter, and harbor seal, all of which can be found on Arran. While here, discover the Scottish grandeur of Brodick Castle, and explore the gardens, which will be brimming with spring life. You can also marvel at the Neolithic treasures and huge upright slabs at the Machrie Moor Stone Circle. ... Read More

Islay, Scotland
Fire up your spirit of discovery on "Whiskey Island". Islay, the "Queen of the Hebrides" and the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides, has rugged uplands and coastline. The island is the proud home of world-famous peaty single malts-but that's far from the only reason to visit. A haven for wildlife, Islay is home to over 200 species of birds, including oystercatchers, gannets, and golden eagles. From its sandy beaches, you can sometimes spot dolphins and basking sharks. You can join a local guide on a heritage walk, and of course, no trip to Islay is complete without a "wee dram" from one of the island's famous and historic whiskey producers, including Laphroaig and Ardbeg. ...

Outer Hebrides, Scotland, United Kingdom
Explore the tranquil islands of the Outer Hebrides. Today we plan to explore the Outer Hebrides and attempt a landing at one of the many tiny islands. Your captain and expedition leader will choose the best landing site, depending on the conditions of the day. The mighty wind and waves of the Atlantic have carved sheltered harbors here, allowing settlements to arise as far back as the Neolithic period. Perhaps we'll visit a remote community and gain insight into their way of life, or we may head to a pristine white-sand beach for a nature landing or hike. We may also take our small boats for some coastal cruising in search of wildlife, such as puffins, guillemots, kittiwakes, and seals. ... Read More

We'll also cruise the wild and beautiful Shiant Isles, a tiny archipelago set in the Minch Strait. It's one of the most important breeding colonies for seabirds in Europe, so keep an eye out for European shags, common eiders, northern fulmars, and great skuas in the surrounding waters or on volcanic ledges. ...

You might spot golden and white-tailed eagles, red-throated divers, stonechats, seals, dolphins, and porpoises.
