Day 2 - At sea

Today we sail across the Denmark Strait towards Greenland, following the same maritime route used by Norse settlers more than 900 years ago. Fascinating presentations by the Expedition Team members will be available, to prepare for your visit to Greenland. Or choose to just relax and watch for whales, dolphins and seabirds from the deck.

Day 3 - Ammassalik Island

Characterised by rivers, lakes, waterfalls, jagged peaks and several glaciers, the island has vast green valleys and deep fjords with newly calved icebergs. The largest town in East Greenland, Tasiilaq, is located on Ammassalik Island and is the gateway to this side of the landmass.

Day 4 - Skjoldungen Fjord

Bordered by towering mountains topped with snow, ice-scraped valley sides with serpentine rivers of ice plunging into the sea, Skjoldungen Fjord is surrounded by wild and pristine nature. It’s quite common to see whales, bearded seals and various kinds of birds in the area.

Day 5 - At sea - Prince Christian Sound

If conditions allow, we’ll travel along the 70-mile-long Prince Christian Sound which connects the Labrador and Irminger Seas. The force of Greenland’s massive, inland ice cap pushes glaciers towards the sea, calving large icebergs. In this narrow, often ice-choked channel, you may come so close to icebergs you can almost reach out and touch one.

Day 6 - Narsarsuaq

Very close to the town of Narsarsuaq lies the small settlement of Qassiarsuk, founded by the legendary Viking rebel and leader Erik the Red. He named this area ‘green land’ because the landscape around Qassiarsuk is characterised by inviting fjords and green, fertile valleys. During this stop we’ll learn more about the lives of the early Norse settlers and visit the reconstruction of a Viking longhouse and a small turf church.

Iceland’s Golden Circle

Today we enjoy a tour of the ‘Golden Circle’ of Iceland, visiting some of the country’s most iconic landmarks and places of natural, historic and scenic quality. The thermal area of Great Geysir dazzles, especially Strokkur - which erupts every 5 to 10 minutes - sending up a column of boiling water to a height of 30 metres.

At Gullfoss, we visit Iceland’s best known and most beautiful waterfall, the two-tiered Golden Falls. Another highlight is Thingvellir, home of the world’s first parliament and now a national park.
