Itinerary

Itinerary
Reykjavik Nuuk
Flight from Reykjavík to Nuuk.
Nuuk is Greenland’s colorful and compact capital, with a... more+ population of just 20,000. It offers a striking mix of modern and historic buildings. If you prefer the older buildings, head to the old town along the waterfront, where you’ll find Nuuk Cathedral and the statue of Hans Egede, perched on a hill. In the water below, admire the magnificent statue of Sedna, the “Mother of the Depths.”
Your expedition ship awaits you at the port. Pick up your complimentary expedition jacket, then it’s time to settle into your cabin and enjoy your first meal.

Nuuk At sea - Greenland
The crossing to the Arctic Circle will be an opportunity to familiarise yourself with AECO's... more+ guidelines and recommendations for operations and landings in the fragile Arctic environment. Be sure to attend these mandatory presentations if you wish to join the planned landings in the Far North.
You'll also have time to settle in on board, take advantage of the ship's state-of-the-art facilities and join in the first lectures on Greenland-related topics, including the participatory science projects carried out on board.
At some point during the voyage, we will cross the Arctic Circle, marking our entry into the territory of the Midnight Sun, in the heart of summer.

At sea - Greenland Disko Bay
Today we enter Disko Bay, a haven for whales and other animals. The waters of the region are dotted... more+ with icebergs of all shapes and sizes that have all drifted from the same place, the icy Ilulissat Fjord. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this spectacular place regularly features among Greenland's must-see sites, and today you'll understand why. Enjoy the scenery as you walk along the wooden footbridge leading to this splendid frozen fjord.
Marvel at the giant icebergs floating peacefully in the deep blue waters that take on different shades of white, grey and blue. Amateur and experienced photographers alike will return to the ship with some enviable shots. Back in the charming town of Ilulissat, visit the Ice Fjord Centre to learn more about the ice in this fascinating region and take a hike to Sermermiut for incredible views.

Disko Bay Uummannaq
It's beyond the Nuussuaq peninsula that distances take on their full meaning, as the region marks... more+ the beginning of Greenland's ‘far north’. At this latitude, life adopts a slower pace. We'll have to make do with the weather and ice conditions, and any attempt to disembark will be subject to the captain's ability to navigate the waterways safely, especially in summer fog. All in all, it's the perfect setting for our expedition.
The beauty of the land and the relative productivity of the environment have attracted visitors since the first settlers arrived over 4,000 years ago. Intriguing archaeological sites reveal without a word the ability of Arctic peoples to thrive in such a hostile environment. It was in this region that the famous Qilakitsoq mummies were discovered.

Uummannaq

Uummannaq Disko Bay
Here, the key word is ‘splendour’. Disko Bay is one of those places that make people dream. And... more+ rightly so! The deep blue waters are dotted with icebergs of all shapes and sizes. Some are gigantic, weighing up to seven million tonnes. And the icy fjord pumps out more water in the form of ice in a single day than New York City consumes in a year.

Disko Bay
Traditional communities, immense glaciers and endless wilderness await us as we explore the region.... more+ Our aim over the next few days is to reveal the wonders of the bay, including Vaigat Strait, Disko Island and the Eastern Fjords. Of course, nature has its rules. So we'll always be ready to adjust our plans according to the weather and ice conditions.

Disko Bay West Greenland
Home to some of the country's longest fjords, the central west coast of Greenland is a land of... more+ contrasts, dotted with a myriad of communities, including Greenland's second largest city. The vastness of the territory, however, makes this stretch of coast a sparsely populated region, where huge distances are the norm and a sense of remoteness and isolation is part of everyday life.
On our journey south, we'll be visiting communities where traditions are still firmly rooted, such as Sisimiut, 40 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. This modern town has developed alongside ancient remains dating back more than 4,000 years. If you want to learn more about the ancient Saqqaq culture, don't miss the fascinating local museum. If you're looking for a special souvenir, opt for a qiviut scarf, hat or mittens. This wool, spun from the down of musk oxen, is reputed to be ten times warmer than sheep's wool. 
Included activities: Qeqertarsuaq - The Greenlandic polka, Arctic sounds concert in Sisimiut, more+
