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 towards 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. Join your Expedition Team on the outer decks to
watch for wildlife. Nearing Greenland, the team shares insights on
ecology, geology, and wildlife, as well as briefings preparing guests
for Zodiac operations and polar bear safety in the wilderness of
Greenland.
Day
3: 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
4: Ikateq and Kuummiit
During
the morning, we approach Ikateq, also known as Bluie Two East
– a haunting remnant of the American military presence on
Greenland during the Second World War. Marvel at the remains of this
vital airbase, untouched since it was abandoned in 1947.
In
the afternoon we reposition to Kuummiit – a small village
deep in the calm waters of Ammassalik Fjord. Here we will have a chance
to connect with the friendly locals and experience East Greenlandic
culture in one of country’s most beautiful and welcoming
villages.
Day
5: Sermilikfjord
Our
next stop is the breathtaking Sermilikfjord – a vast
ice-choked fjord which drains the colossal Helheim Glacier. Armadas of
vast icebergs drift from the Greenland Ice Sheet out into the North
Atlantic, creating one of the most spectacular natural sights on Earth.
Join your Expedition Team on a Zodiac cruise and marvel at the gigantic
icebergs, natural ice sculptures tens of thousands of years in the
making!
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: 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 through lush green fields to
Igaliku and the ruins of Garðar, the seat of Norse Greenlandic
power.
Day
9: 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
10: 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
11: 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
12: 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.
From there, we will depart from Greenland, boarding our chartered
flight to Copenhagen, where your journey will end.
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.
