Itinerary

Itinerary
Reykjavik
Explore the world's most northerly capital. Your adventure begins in Reykjavík. A laid-back city... more+ rich in art, culture and 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 Denmark Strait
This is the route once taken by Erik the Red, the first European who is said to have settled in the... more+ region. We sometimes see whales here, so keep your eyes peeled.
During the two-day cruise, you'll have plenty of time to familiarise yourself with the boat and its facilities. The expedition team will also give presentations on the protocols for visiting sensitive natural areas and indigenous Arctic communities. This will be an ideal opportunity to book excursions and perhaps learn a few words of Greenlandic. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Denmark Strait
First and foremost, it's time to settle in and enjoy yourself. You'll feast on delicious meals... more+ served in the onboard restaurants, take part in incredible conferences and simply relax in the comfort of the ship. As we get closer to Greenland, or Kalaallit Nunaat as it's known here, you'll feel the anticipation and the first shivers of excitement come over you... your adventure is about to begin! 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Denmark Strait South Greenland
These next four days will be dedicated to the purest expedition tradition as we explore the... more+ labyrinth of fjords, channels and islands of this spectacular wilderness. Local weather and ice conditions will determine where and when we land, but the Captain and expedition team are used to these conditions and will take you to the best sites. 
Included activities: Prins Cristian Sund - Exploration day at Prince Christian Passage, more+
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
South Greenland
During our landings, excursions and activities, we plan to visit Nordic relics, sail majestic... more+ fjords where sumptuous sculpted icebergs glisten in the sun, and visit communities in picturesque villages. You could disembark in the colourful and peaceful community of Qaqortoq by its beautiful lake, visit Erik the Red's farm in Brattahlíð or simply gaze at the stunning mountain scenery of the splendid southern fjords. 
Included activities: Visit to the community of Qaqortoq, more+
Optional services: Qaqortoq - Great Greenland Tannery, Qaqortoq... more+
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
South Greenland
As you will see, the rugged mountain ranges of southern Greenland tower over lush green meadows and... more+ fjords scattered here and there. It's a landscape sculpted by ice and weather over billions of years. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
South Greenland
The Norsemen tried to settle here a thousand years ago, but the harsh conditions eventually drove... more+ them out after just four centuries. Today, these vast, sparsely populated wilderness areas will give you a sense of serenity that the modern world rarely offers. So relax, enjoy nature and learn more about this unique region. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
South Greenland South-west Greenland
The coastline between the fjord systems of southern Greenland and Nuuk is as wild as it gets. The... more+ few local communities are separated by long distances. And although the climate remains mild for the Arctic, the topography is rugged, divided by high mountain ranges half covered in ice and criss-crossed by deep turquoise fjords. With few inland passages, travel in this region has been extremely difficult since the dawn of time. Here, nature reigns supreme. It's the ideal playground for modern-day adventurers. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
South-west Greenland
As we head north, well equipped for the local conditions, we'll discover the landscapes of... more+ ‘Mellembygden’, the Middle Community of the Nordic settlers. We'll also be looking for the ghost mining town of Ivittuut, where cryolite was mined, a mineral that played a major role in history. The only inhabitants you'll find there now are timid musk oxen. Finally, we enter the majestic fjords, carved out over thousands of years by massive glaciers that flow from the ice cap. 
Included activities: Disembarkation at Ivittuut, more+
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
South-west Greenland
Wildlife thrives in this remote region. Join our expedition team as they observe the wildlife,... more+ either on board or ashore, and keep your camera and binoculars handy: seabirds, nesting colonies and feasting whales are never far away. If we're lucky, we might even see one of the rare herds of musk oxen living on Greenland's west coast. 
Included activities: Kvanefjord / Nigerlikasik - Exploration day in Kvanefjord, more+
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
South-west Greenland Nuuk
Get ready to explore a sprawling system of fjords. Known as Nuup Kangerlua by the locals, the... more+ fjords around Nuuk unfold in a network of surprisingly parallel waterways. They are dominated by the Kangiussap Nunaa peninsula and the ice cap, particularly in the famous Nuuk Isfjord.
These lands were once home to the ancient western Nordic communities. It was the most northerly region they managed to colonise in the Middle Ages. It was probably at Nuup Kangerlua that the descendants of the Vikings first encountered the Thule people. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Nuuk
The fjords are dotted with the remains of ancient Nordic populations and small Inuit communities.... more+ Some are abandoned, such as the picturesque Qornoq, while others are thriving, such as Kapisillit and its 88 inhabitants. The relative proximity of Nuuk tends to obscure the fact that until very recently, the communities living on the shores of Nuup Kangerlua were as isolated as other Greenlandic villages.
Weather and ice conditions permitting, we'll spend the next two days exploring the fjord system and contemplating the changing mountain landscapes. We'll also try to reach the frozen headwaters of Nuup Kangerlua and visit one of the Inuit villages, while keeping an eye out for hiking, expedition boats and wildlife viewing. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Nuuk Reykjavik
We bid farewell to the ship, the crew and the expedition team as our journey comes to an end in... more+ Nuuk. This bustling capital may look bubbly compared to the places you've visited, but it's hardly a metropolis: its population doesn't even reach 20,000.
Visit the National Museum for a fascinating insight into what life might have been like here 500 years ago and see the fascinating Qilakitsoq mummies. Otherwise, there's no shortage of shopping opportunities compared with the rest of Greenland, and the town has a number of cafés and restaurants where you can treat yourself to a gourmet break. If you have time before your return flight, Nuuk is a 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
Lunch
Diner
Reykjavik
Today you'll wake up in Reykjavík, where your adventure ends. But that means you have another... more+ chance to explore Iceland's elegant capital, if you have the time.
If you want to explore further, you can sign up for our optional post-programme before you return. Or simply extend your stay and enjoy Reykjavík and its surrounding geothermal attractions a little longer.
