Day 7 - Cruising Prins Christian Sund, Greenland
Carving a breathtaking, naturally formed path separating the mainland from the pretty islands of Cape Farewell, Prins Christian Sund - named after Christian VIII - is one of Greenland's most scenic waterways. 66 miles in length, and flanked by magnificent glaciers and granite cliffs, this narrow passage is only accessible during the summer, when the largest icy blockades melt away, opening up an enticing route in land. We’ll sail close to the glaciers, huge icebergs and imposing peaks for unmissable photo opportunities, while a range of wildlife, including bearded seals, seabirds such as black guillemots, and even minke and blue whales, are often seen too.
