Itinerary

Itinerary
Reykjavik
Your adventure begins with a night in Reykjavík. A laid-back city rich in art, culture and... more+ history, delightful Reykjavík is well worth exploring.
Stroll along Laugavegur, lined with boutiques and outdoor equipment shops, towards the sublime Hallgrímskirkja Cathedral before visiting the fascinating Reykjavík Art Museum.
If you have time, we recommend booking a pre-programme with us to discover a selection of Iceland's natural wonders before your cruise departs. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Reykjavik Nuuk
Your day starts early today as we make our way to Reykjavík airport to fly to Nuuk.
Nuuk is... more+ Greenland's colourful and compact capital. With a population of 20,000, it has a striking mix of modern and old buildings. If you prefer the latter, head for the old town along the waterfront. It is home to Nuuk Cathedral and the statue of Hans Egede, perched on a hill. In the water below, admire the magnificent statue of the Mother of the Sea, a striking juxtaposition of the two.
Your expedition ship awaits you in port. You'll be welcomed on board and take off your complimentary expedition jacket, then it's time to settle into your cabin and enjoy your first meal on board. 
Breakfast
Lunch

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. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
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. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
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. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Uummannaq
There are many things to do around here, including stopping off at small communities such as... more+ Uummannaq, a beautiful island home to the heart-shaped mountain Ukkusissat. We could visit the archaeological site of Qilakitsok, disembark in the wilderness or attempt a crossing of the interior fjords aboard our small expedition boats.

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. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
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. 
Included activities: Exploration day in the Vaigat Strait, more+
Optional services: Hiking on the Innarsuaq cliffs more+
Breakfast

Disko Bay

Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
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. 
Included activities: Ilulissat - Hiking in the icy fjords, A day exploring the Evighet fjord, more+
Optional services: Ilulissat - Boat trip to the Ice Fjord more+
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
West Greenland
On our journey south, we'll be visiting communities where traditions are still firmly rooted, such... more+ 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: Singing in the church at Qeqertarsuaq, A walk to discover Sisimiut, more+
Optional services: Panoramic bus tour of Sisimiut, Cultural and... more+

West Greenland Nuuk Reykjavik
Our arrival in Nuuk today marks the moment when you bid farewell to the ship, her crew, the... more+ expedition team and the friends you have made on this adventure. Greenland's bustling capital feels more like a metropolis than any of the other hinterland towns you've visited in the last two weeks. If you have time before your flight home, explore this fascinating window on modern Greenland. From here, you'll fly back to Reykjavík, after an adventure full of memories you won't soon forget. 
Breakfast

Reykjavik
Your adventure ends in Reykjavík, another opportunity to explore Iceland's elegant capital. If... more+ you'd like to explore further, you can sign up for our optional post-program before you return.
