OVERVIEW

Come along on our Adventures in North-east Greenland: Glaciers, Fjords and the Northern Lights itinerary to discover some of the planet's last pristine wilderness locations. You may discover a variety of strikingly rugged landscapes while cruising along the remote north-east coast of Greenland, which is home to the world's largest fjord system. Since you will be in an area where the Northern Lights are frequently visible at night, you may even be able to end a day of Arctic exploration with a spectacular display of the Aurora borealis. Experience Greenlandic culture firsthand in Ittoqqortoormiit, explore historic Thule sites, and be in awe of the majesty of gigantic icebergs set against a breathtaking mountain backdrop while immersed in the wild beauty of the Arctic.

ITINERARY

Arrive in Reykjavik, Iceland

Arrive in the Icelandic capital in the morning and make your way to your included hotel. You will have the day to explore the city on your own.

Embarkation

This afternoon, you’ll board your vessel and begin your expedition. Get ready for a great adventure ahead!

Across the Denmark Strait

As we cruise north across the Denmark Strait, with views of Greenland in the distance, your Expedition Team will prepare you for the adventures that await. Learn about the storied history and politics of the Arctic, its fascinating wildlife, geology, ecology and climate, and the incredible sights you will soon explore. The team will also search for the seabirds soaring around your ship, as well as the whales that frequent the waters here.

Exploring Northeast Greenland - Days 4 to 8

During your tour of Greenland’s remote northeast coast, you’ll enjoy Zodiac cruises and shore visits to several locations. We’ll also keep an eye out for grazing muskoxen, as 40 percent of the world’s population lives in Northeast Greenland National Park. At the entrance of the sound is East Greenland’s most northerly community, Ittoqqortoormiit, where you may spend time interacting with the Inuit people and learning about their way of life. You may also have a 3 chance to see the Northern Lights here if the skies are clear. Magnificent vistas also await at Kong Oscar Fjord, with possible landings at Ella Ø, renowned for its rugged cliffs and ice-choked waters, and flower-rich Botanikerbugt, on Ymer Ø.

Across Denmark Strait - Days 9 & 10

As your Arctic adventure winds down, take in a presentation by our onboard experts, share your photos, sip an icy cocktail in the bar or watch a movie—there are many activities during your time at sea. Your Expedition Team will also be on hand to answer any questions and point out wildlife.

Disembarkation

You’ll disembark in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, at the end of your journey. If you have booked post-expedition accommodation, we provide a transfer to a central downtown location.
