The inaugural Iceland and Greenland journey, “Arctic Geyser, Calving Glaciers, and Fiery Lands of Ice,” will sail from Reykjavik to New York City from September 9-25, 2023. During this journey, Horn will lead guests on two hikes in remote areas of Greenland. He’ll also conduct a seminar on “Setting Goals and Being Resilient” onboard Explora I, where he will talk about how he prepares for extreme expeditions.

“I am impressed by the sustainability initiatives of the cruise division of MSC Group,” Horn said. “Their dedication to innovation and technology aligns with my vision for a world in which we all have to adapt to an ever-changing environment. I am delighted to work closely with Explora Journeys to attain significant accomplishments, promote sustainability and create unforgettable experiences that connect us with nature.”
