Day 3 Ilulissat- Disko Bay, Greenland
At the heart of Disko Bay - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Ilulissat Icefjord provides an extraordinary spectacle of almost surreal beauty. The sculptural icebergs continue their on timeless journey, shimmering with their eternal light. Vast pieces of ice break off from the bergs and rejoin the inexorable movement of the sea. Close by lies the town of Ilulissat, the region’s principal destination. Encircled by icebergs, it has retained a unique mix of traditional Arctic life, with multicoloured wooden houses, huskies and the leather tanners who still work today using the ancient methods of their ancestors.

Day 7 Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada
Pond Inlet appears to guard over the entrance to the legendary North West Passage. Formerly called Tununiq by the Inuit, this region was long ago inhabited by their ancestors, the Thule, who left behind numerous archaeological artifacts, little vestiges of the past. No matter where you look, your eyes will alight upon a unique landscape of snow-capped mountain ranges, each more beautiful than the last, standing opposite ice-blue glaciers whose vertiginous flows descend into the ocean. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the bird colonies of Bylot Island; LE SOLÉAL route will sail you close to this uninhabited "Garden of Eden" so that you may wonder at its natural marvels.

Day 18 Crossing the International Date Line
Day 17 of the cruise…and the International Date Line just snatched a day from your life! LE SOLÉAL sails towards the International Date Line via the Bering Strait; this imaginary line runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, roughly following the 180 degree longitude. The calendar may tell you that it is Thursday 12th September; nevertheless, in just a few hours’ time, the passengers aboard LE SOLÉAL step straight into Saturday 14th, having skipped Friday 13th altogether! The time clock appears compromised. We try to understand the seemingly familiar passage of time... and yet, nothing is as it seems! Join us for this unique experience in time travel... And remember, only a few kilometers away, the International Date Line has just stolen Friday!
