ITINERARY
Day
1: All Aboard in Kangerlussuaq!
On
day one, we arrive in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland’s only inland
town and a key air hub with a rich Cold War history. Upon arrival, we
transfer by Zodiac to the Ocean Albatros, settle into our cabins,
complete a safety drill, and then toast with champagne as we begin our
journey through the stunning Kangerlussuaq fjord.
Day
2: Sisimiut – Greenland’s Second City
Sisimiut
is Greenland’s second-largest city, with around 5,400
residents. Inhabited since 2,500 BC by Paleo-Inuit peoples, the area
holds ancient remains on nearby Tele Island, which can be reached on a
refreshing hike. Founded as Holsteinsborg in 1756, Sisimiut features
well-preserved historic buildings like the Blue Church from 1775,
situated in the city’s charming museum quarter. Today,
Sisimiut is a key hub for education and industry, hosting one of
Greenland’s largest fish processing plants and the supply
company KNI, which services remote settlements. The city blends
traditional and modern Arctic life—explore the cultural
center Taseralik, the city museum, and the famous art workshop, and
taste Greenlandic delicacies.
Day
3: Qeqertarsuaq (Disko Island)
Qeqertarsuaq
is a picturesque town nestled beneath Disko Island’s towering
basalt mountains. Once the heart of North Greenland’s whaling
economy, the town shifted focus to hunting, fishing, and growing
tourism after the industry declined. Qeqertarsuaq’s rich
volcanic soil and mild microclimate create uncommonly lush greenery,
attracting locals and visitors to its rugged beauty, colorful houses
and excellent hiking. In the afternoon, we’ll explore the
dramatic coastline of nearby Kuannit by Zodiac, famed for lush tundra,
caves, waterfalls, and stunning icebergs, before heading north towards
Uummannaq.
Day
4: Uummannaq: The Greenlandic Riviera
Uummannaq
sits at the foot of its striking 1,170m
“heart-shaped” mountain – a true
Greenlandic landmark. Founded in 1763 by Danish colonists, the town
blends historic charm with rich Inuit heritage. Today, Uummannaq is a
lively community where locals sell traditional handicrafts in the town
square and fresh fish at the bustling market, and locals are strongly
connected to their traditional lifestyle. Visit the museum for an
insight into local history, or hike to Santa’s house
– another famous local landmark. As we sail into Uummannaq
Fjord, take in breathtaking views of the iceberg-studded waters and
towering peaks beneath the endless midnight sun.
Day
5: Eqip Sermia Glacier
Eqip
Sermia (a descriptive Greenlandic name meaning ‘the Glacier
at the End of the Fjord’) is a relatively small glacier for
Greenland, although it is still a truly vast river of ice, flowing
directly from the Ice Sheet. It is also one of the most active, and ice
constantly tumbles off the vast glacier-front. If conditions allow, we
will launch our fleet of Zodiacs to approach this vast river of ice,
and hopefully experience the roar of the glacier’s frequent
calvings at sea level (from a safe distance of course)!
Day
6: Ilulissat, Iceberg Capital of the World
Ilulissat—meaning
“icebergs” in Kalaallisut—is the stunning
Iceberg Capital of the World, home to the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat
Icefjord, accessible on a gentle walk from the harbor. This 70 km fjord
leads to Sermeq Kujalleq, the largest glacier outside Antarctica, which
drains 13% of the Greenland Ice Sheet and produces 10% of the Northern
Hemisphere’s icebergs—more than the entire U.S.
annual water supply! Founded 280 years ago and the birthplace of
legendary Arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen, Ilulissat is
Greenland’s third largest town, rich in culture and
adventure. Enjoy fresh local seafood, vibrant markets, and elegant art
galleries. The hiking trails around the Icefjord are a must-do for
visitors, who may also choose thrilling optional boat or flightseeing
tours to witness the raw power of the ice up close.
Day
7: Itilleq Village
Itilleq
– meaning “the Crossing Place from the
Sea” – is a picturesque village nestled among
mountains and fjords just north of the Arctic Circle. Located at the
edge of the Aassivisuit-Nipisat UNESCO World Heritage Site, it
preserves a rich Inuit hunting heritage dating back thousands of years.
Modern colorful houses have replaced turf huts, but locals still rely
on Arctic char, reindeer, and muskox, blending tradition with modern
life. Warm Greenlandic hospitality welcomes visitors eager to explore
this wonderfully homely hamlet.
Day
8: Kangerlussuaq disembarkation
As
our journey concludes, we sail up the 160 km Kangerlussuaq Fjord and
disembark by Zodiac after a fond farewell to the Expedition Team and
Crew of Ocean Albatros. Though Kangerlussuaq is more known for its Cold
War-era military roots and role as a transport hub than its cultural
heritage, its surrounding wilderness offers striking natural beauty.
Originally built by the U.S. military in the 1950s, the town retains a
utilitarian charm. Our Arctic adventure ends at the modern airport,
with lasting memories of Greenland’s wild landscapes.
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.
