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.
