In the late afternoon join a group transfer to board the Douglas Mawson. After boarding, there’s time to settle into your cabin before our important safety briefings before we ‘throw the lines’ to begin our Iceland adventure. 

This evening, join your fellow travellers for an onboard Welcome Dinner, where your expedition team will introduce you to the expedition ahead and raise a toast to the adventures to come.

As darkness settles after departure, venture onto the outer decks for your first opportunity to scan Iceland’s skies for the aurora. Away from Reykjavík’s city lights, conditions may become increasingly favourable if the sky is clear and solar activity is present.
