ITINERARY
Day
1: Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
Cross
the Arctic Circle
Begin
your journey by sailing out of Kangerlussuaq Fjord (Søndre
Strømfjord), a 190-kilometre-long fjord surrounded by
mountains and glaciers.
Cross
the Arctic Circle on your way and spend time on deck watching for
aurora borealis.
Kangerlussuaq,
the settlement at the head of the fjord, is a former US Air Force base.
After
your charter flight from Toronto, ON, you’ll transfer to the
ship by Zodiac.
Day
2: Kangerlussuatsiaq Fjord (Evighedsfjorden)
Take
a Zodiac Cruise at the Foot of a Glacier
Kangerlussuatsiaq
means “the rather big fjord” in Greenlandic, while
the Danish name Evighedsfjorden translates to “the fjord of
eternity,” underscoring its vastness and seemingly
never-ending nature.
See
why Kangerlussuatsiaq Fjord lives up to its name and marvel at this
complex coastal waterway that includes calving glaciers, sheer bird
cliffs, and streams cascading against a towering mountain backdrop.
Explore
this sublime glacial landscape by ship and by Zodiac.
The
waters here are relatively warm, due to the West Greenland Current and
the subarctic location.
Day
3: Nuuk
Visit
Museums, Shops, and Cafés
Stop
in at vibrant Nuuk, the capital of Greenland.
Visit
the Greenland National Museum, one of the city’s many
outstanding features, where the world-famous Qilakitsoq mummies rest.
The
old harbour includes many buildings dating from Danish colonial days,
while contemporary Nuuk is known for art, shopping, pubs, and
cafés.
Day
4: At Sea — Davis Strait
Learn
From Inuit in Their Homeland
Deepen
your understanding of the environment, cultures, and history of the
region as we sail across the Davis Strait towards Labrador. Get the
privileged opportunity to engage with and learn from Inuit in their
homeland.
Enjoy
workshops and presentations, watch a documentary, and get out on deck!
Try your hand at athletic feats during an interactive cultural
performance of Inuit games.
Through
shared experiences and interactions, develop a deep appreciation for
the culture and gain a connection to the stunning landscapes we
traverse.
Keep
your binoculars ready to spot whales and seabirds who follow in our
wake.
Day
5-8: Torngat Mountain Range, NL, Canada
Hike
the Mountainous Tundra and Spot Wildlife
Spend
four days exploring an area of treeless, mountainous tundra in Torngat
Mountains National Park, where some of Canada’s highest peaks
east of the Rockies are found.
Enjoy
your time hiking, visiting archaeological sites, and Zodiac cruising.
Here, Inuit of Nunatsiavut will be your guides in their spiritual
homeland.
Inuit
of Nunavik and Nunatsiavut play a key role as partners in the
management of Torngat Mountains National Park, and many see the park as
a portal for better understanding of Inuit culture.
The
word Torngat is derived from the Inuttut word tongait, meaning
“place of spirits,” where Inuit shamans travelled
to connect with higher powers. It is not hard, even for a visitor, to
feel the power of the place.
Marvel
at the gorgeous fjords, landscapes ablaze with autumn colours, and
wonderful wildlife sighting opportunities, including the possibility of
both polar and black bears.
Day
9: Hebron
Ponder
Poignant History
Step
back in time to the historical site of Hebron, which preserves a
Moravian Mission station dating from the 1830s.
Call
in at the old church, where Inuit who resided here in 1959 learned of
their forced relocation.
Take
a moment to let history sink in and read the plaque that commemorates
this history and the apology to people affected by the relocations,
issued by the government of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2005.
Listen
to the stories shared by our guides and meet former Hebron residents
and their kin who continue to visit the site and to hunt and fish
nearby.
Day
10: Nain
Experience
an Inuit Hamlet
Visit
Nain, the most northerly community in Labrador and the administrative
capital of Nunatsiavut.
Stop
in at the historic Moravian church, enjoy the brass band, and visit
Illusuak, the stunning cultural centre.
Expect
a warm welcome and the opportunity to peruse arts and handicrafts at
this dynamic visit.
This
will be your first chance to see trees since the start of your journey!
Day
11-12: The Labrador Coast
Enjoy
Hiking and Zodiac Cruises
As
we continue south the rugged peaks of the North give way to rolling,
forested hills and tranquil inlets. Hundreds of rocky islets interrupt
the open Labrador Sea, offering some shelter for vibrant Inuit
communities where traditions endure and stories flow with the tides.
The
modern-day cultural mix of this area makes for a rich blend of stories
about both different and shared values, resilience, and the universal
love of the land and sea.
Conditions
allowing, we'll embark on expedition landings and Zodiac cruises led by
our expedition team. Their expert guidance ensures both your safety and
a deeper appreciation of the coastal barrens, boreal forests, wetlands,
and rugged shorelines of this remarkable region.
Come
with an open heart, leave with a new understanding of these magnificent
Labrador shores.
Day
13: L'Anse aux Meadows
Immerse
Yourself in Viking Archaeology
Wander
through the reconstructed Viking habitation at L’Anse aux
Meadows, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only authenticated Norse
settlement in North America.
Learn
more about the archaeological remains that date to approximately 1000
CE, and how—amazingly—the site was first found here
in 1960 by a close reading of the Viking sagas.
Be
sure to visit the superb interpretation centre and meet the actors in
period costumes as you make your way through the reconstructed
Norse-style sod buildings. This is a must-see for any visitor to
Newfoundland and Labrador!
Day
14: Northeast Newfoundland
Experience
Newfoundland’s Legendary Charm
The
northeast coast of Newfoundland is known for the dozens of picturesque
villages that dot its rocky shores, and we’ll find harbour in
one of these unique communities. We look forward to a
characteristically warm Newfoundland welcome upon our arrival.
Photographers will have their work cut out for them capturing the
special charm of classic island architecture.
Day
15: St. John’s, NL, Canada
Wave
a Fond Farewell
Welcome
to St. John’s—the vibrant capital of Newfoundland
and Labrador.
Complete
your journey by sailing into historic St. John’s harbour,
looking out for Signal Hill as you enter the world-famous Narrows.
Photograph
the charming houses of the Battery, always a hit with shutterbugs.
Say
your farewells in this cultural hotspot and what is sometimes called
North America's oldest city.
