ITINERARY
Day
1: All Aboard in Reykjavik!
Hallgrímskirkja
Church towers over Reykjavik, a vibrant city known for Nordic cuisine,
unique museums, and lively shopping. After safety briefings, we set
sail toward totality in East Greenland.
Day
2: At Sea, Crossing the Denmark Strait
The
Denmark Strait, a narrow passage between Iceland and Greenland, teems
with rich marine life. Our onboard experts guide guests in safely
viewing the eclipse. Nearing Greenland, the team shares insights on
ecology, geology, and wildlife, preparing guests for Zodiac operations
and polar bear safety.
Day
3: Eclipse Day, East Greenland
On
Eclipse Day, Ocean Albatros approaches the once-feared Blosseville
Coast. Anchoring at the perfect vantage points beneath the
eclipse’s center line with clear southwestern views, guests
disembark by Zodiac to prepare for the celestial show. At 16:37, the
partial eclipse begins, building to totality at 17:37, with darkness
settling over the landscape. Witness the stunning “Diamond
Ring” effect at 17:40 as totality ends. The eclipse concludes
by 18:33 as the moon’s shadow moves on. After this
unforgettable spectacle, guests return to the ship for a gala dinner.
Day
4: Along the Blosseville Coast
We
sail south along Greenland’s Blosseville Coast, a rugged
landscape shaped by volcanic activity around 50 million years ago.
First surveyed by explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen, this area has long been
navigated by the Inuit people of the area. If conditions allow, we may
land in this now uninhabited region of breathtaking beauty.
Day
5: Tasiilaq, East Greenland
Tasiilaq
is East Greenland’s largest settlement, sitting on rugged
Ammassalik Island. Isolated from European contact until its founding as
a trading post in 1894, it preserves the unique culture of the Tunumiit
people. Once home to Greenland’s last shamans, Tasiilaq is
the origin of the tupilak, a feared magical creature – now a
celebrated art form. Visitors can meet sled dogs (with
owners’ permission), experience drum dancing, hike tundra
meadows, and visit the famous Stunk Artist’s Workshop.
Day
6: Skjoldungen/Saqqisikuik
Today,
we explore Skjoldungen, a stunning fjord on Greenland’s
southeast coast, known to locals as Saqqisikuik. Once visited by Inuit
and briefly settled in the 20th century, it is now remote and
uninhabited. Surrounded by breathtaking peaks, highlights include
Thryms Glacier and the valley of Dronning Marie Dal. Weather
permitting, we may land to explore or cruise by the glacier.
Day
7: Prins Christian Sund and Appilaattoq
In
the morning, we sail through spectacular Prins Christian Sund, a 60 km
iceberg-filled strait linking East and West Greenland. Surrounded by
mountains, glaciers, and valleys, it’s one of the
world’s most spectacular waterways. By afternoon, we reach
Aappilattoq, a small, remote village beneath granite cliffs, known for
its traditional lifestyle, scenic hiking, and famous local choir.
Day
8: Tasermiut and Uunartoq
Tasermiut
Fjord is known for its towering granite cliffs and fertile valleys.
Once called Ketil’s Fjord by Norse settlers, it’s
now popular with elite climbers and hikers. Later, we sail to Uunartoq
Island to relax in geothermal springs with views of drifting icebergs
– an experience unmatched even by Iceland’s
legendary spas!
Day
9: Qassiarsuk and Itilleq Kujalleq
Next,
we cruise through Tunulliarfik Fjord to Qassiarsuk, a lush village
known for sheep farming and its rich Norse history. Founded in 1924,
the modern village sits on the site of Erik the Red’s
10th-century farm, Brattahlíð. Legend has it that
his wife Thjodhild refused to join her pagan husband’s bed
until he built her a church – the first in the Americas. In
the afternoon, we hike from nearby Itilleq to Igaliku and the ruins of
Garðar, the seat of Norse Greenlandic power.
Day
10: At Sea, En Route to Nuuk
From
South Greenland, we sail north along the rugged coast. Nearly all of
Greenland’s settlements lie on the western coast, facing the
Davis Strait. Warm Atlantic currents enrich these waters, attracting
whales, seals, human hunters, and many seabirds—so keep an
eye out during our day at sea!
Day
11: Nuuk, Capital of Greenland
Home
to 20,000 residents, Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, offers
culture, history, and stunning natural beauty. Inhabited since 2200
B.C. by Paleo-Inuit and later by Norse settlers, Nuuk is now
Greenland’s cultural and political center, featuring the
Parliament, National Museum (home of the Qilakitsoq mummies), Katuaq
cultural center, local art shops, and cozy cafés.
Affectionately known as “Nuuk York” by locals, it
stands as a singular blend of the ancient and the contemporary.
Day
12: Kangaamiut and Evighedsfjorden
On
the final full day of our voyage, we arrive in Kangaamiut, a village
where traditional hunting, fishing, and weather shape daily life.
Guests can hike for panoramic views, and enjoy a warm cultural welcome
with local crafts, food, and performance. In the afternoon, we venture
into Evighedsfjorden—“The Eternity
Fjord”—by Zodiac, cruising past majestic glaciers
and dramatic bird cliffs, a thrilling and unforgettable finale to our
Arctic voyage.
Day
13: Kangerlussuaq Disembarkation
As
our journey concludes, we sail up the 160 km Kangerlussuaq Fjord and
disembark by Zodiac. Though Kangerlussuaq is more known for its Cold
War-era military roots and role as a transport hub than cultural
heritage, its surrounding wilderness offers striking natural beauty
– the perfect place to end our thrilling expedition.
Ocean Albatros - PL (Luxury Expedition, 180-guests)
Beneath the sleek exterior of the Ocean Albatros lies decades of learning and adaptation to the harsh Antarctic environment. Its patented X-Bow offers unprecedented stability and comfort; its many onboard amenities are designed to maximize your Antarctic experience; and its spacious heated mudroom with four exterior doors makes zodiac boarding quick, safe, and effortless.
