AND ICELAND: Leaving
from
Longyearbyen, L’AUSTRAL sets sail for the iridescent ice fields of Spitsbergen
where Zodiacs® will take passengers as close as it is possible to be
to polar landscapes, the ice floe, glaciers and icebergs. The ship then heads
for Iceland on a new itinerary from Grimsey Island, along the coast and south as
far as Reykjavík. On the programme: the beautiful town of Akureyri, Godafoss
Falls, Skálanes nature reserve in the heart of the spectacular Seydisfjördur,
the village of Fáskrúdsfjördur founded by French fisherman at the end of the
19th century, and the islands of Papey and Heimaey.

algae. New for 2014 is the possibility to begin the cruise with a short stay in
