Iceland and Greenland share Arctic waters, yet they feel like two different worlds. In this episode of World’s Greatest Cruises, I explore Iceland’s volcanic landscapes and Greenland’s vast fjords aboard Seabourn Cruise —from erupting geysers and cascading waterfalls to towering icebergs and remote tidewater glaciers. We cross the Arctic Circle, kayak beneath sheer rock walls, watch ice calve into the sea, and even travel inside a 3,000‑year‑old glacier. Along the way, we map uncharted waters, learn how expedition ships minimize their environmental footprint, and witness firsthand how quickly Arctic ice is changing. This is not just scenery. It is perspective.
