Itinerary

Fly over the immense forests and numerous lakes of Canada on our way to Kuujjuaq for a technical stop.

Then continue over southern Greenland's beautiful scenery before landing at Kangerlussuaq in western Greenland. The airport's Kangerlussuaq Museum illustrates the town's past as a U.S. airbase during WWII.

Because we will be approaching the Arctic Circle and the “land of the midnight sun”, we will have an astonishing 20 hours of daylight!

Today we fly to Cirencester – a charming market town situated on the River Churn in Gloucestershire, England. Upon arrival, we’ll transfer to Thyme – a boutique hotel composed of 17th-century cottages and refined rooms dotted throughout Southrop Manor’s 150-acre estate. With an on-site farm and fruitful kitchen garden, the hotel’s cookery school is revered among visiting gourmands.

Thyme is a family story where a passion for the land, food and entertaining merges with a love of nature, beauty and conservation. A collection of restored, historic buildings form a peaceful hamlet environment that invite you to rest and reconnect in this English country paradise.

Today is at leisure to relax or explore on your own. Your Journey Director will be available to help you plan your day.

Today we will take the train north to the village of Le Brassus. A brief walk from the train station leads to the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet. The museum is the creation of the selfsame luxury watchmaker, which two watchmakers founded in a building next door in 1875, and inside lies a commemoration of time-keeping with 300 watches on display. At the heart of the museum is the studio of craftspeople that assemble the most complicated watches - which can take up to eight months and require 648 components, all assembled by one person.

Today we will fly to beautiful Alesund, Norway. Perched at the top of Norway’s Western Fjord country, picture-perfect Alesund is spread over several islands stretching into the Atlantic, with the spectacular Sunnmøre Mountains as a backdrop. If its natural beauty doesn’t grab you, its architecture surely will. After an early 20th-century fire destroyed much of the town, Alesund was rebuilt in absolute Art Nouveau (Jugendstil).

Today we will explore Alesund and its surroundings by air. Enjoy amazing views of the city, glaciers, fjords, mountains and landmarks from the cockpit of a helicopter! During our 30-minutes ride, view the rooftop of the planet from a very unique perspective.

After breakfast and an in-depth briefing, we will fly to Quebec City, Canada, as we start our way back home. There will be technical stops to refuel in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, and Iqaluit, Canada, before landing in Quebec.

Situated in the heart of historic Old Quebec, the Chateau Frontenac sits high on a bluff overlooking the St. Lawrence River. Tonight we’ll enjoy a farewell dinner.
