14 DAYS GREENLAND ESSENTIALS
EAST, SOUTH AND WEST GREENLAND
Cruise, Outdoor & Adventure, Nature & Wildlife, Winter Wonderland
As the world’s largest and most inhospitable island, Greenland has kept most of its original charm intact. It is home to remarkable landscapes, exceptional wildlife, iceberg-choked fjords and colourful tundra that makes it a one-of-a-kind unlike any other. Located mostly north of the Arctic Circle, approximately three-quarters of the island’s surface is covered in pristine ice and snow. Take the opportunity to cruise Greenland’s least visited and most remote area, where spectacular fjords, glaciers and icebergs await. You will also have the opportunity to visit local communities and learn about their way of life.
Your journey begins with embarkation in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik.
You will arrive one day earlier with one night of accommodation included. The specific name of the hotel will be indicated in your final voyage confirmation. Airport transfer can be included at an additional cost.
Your cruise continues northwards across the Denmark Strait with views of Greenland in the distance. If you are fortunate enough, you may be able to spot whales and seabirds which have been known to grace this strait.
The northeast coast of Greenland is a region of remote beauty, offering pockets of solitude amidst stunning landscapes as the backdrop for your zodiac cruises and shore visits. The area is home to the world’s largest national park (Northeast Greenland National Park) and the world’s largest fjord system (Scoresby Sund). Depending on your sailing date and if you are lucky, you may even be able to spot the Northern Lights at night! You may select from the below options:
Visit Ittoqqortoormiit (this East Greenland’s most northernly community is formerly known as Scoresbysund) for a chance to interact and gain insights into the Inuit’s way of life. You will be blessed by the stunning vistas at the King Oscar Fjord, with possible landings at Ella Ø (famed for its rugged cliffs and ice-choked waters) and visiting the flower-rich Botanikerbugt on Ymer Ø. Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled for the grazing muskoxen, of which 40% of their population resides in the Northeast Greenland National Park. Depending on your sailing date and if you are lucky, you may even be able to spot the Northern Lights at night!
Enjoy four-day sailing across the Scoresby Sund and visiting the sparsely-settled community of Ittoqqortoormiit for a town walk and museum visit. You will also enjoy a four-day sailing across the dramatic glacier formations of Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord and a three-day sailing across the giant icy valleys of the King Oscar Fjord.
Unwind with onboard expert presentations or sip cocktails in the bar as you exchange stories with your travel companions.
During your return journey to Reykjavik, we will make two stops in Iceland. Enjoy a short visit the gargantuan terraces of Isafjordur with plunging mountains and gouged fjords, as well as the thundering Dynjandi Waterfalls.
Your journey ends as you disembark in Reykjavik. We are happy to tailor-make your extension in Iceland and other parts of Europe.
