The Fjords of Greenland
A no-fly cruise from Dover
Summary
Sail from Dover aboard Fred. Olsen’s Boudicca, to discover the wonders of Greenland. Begin with two stops in Iceland: in Ísafjörður in the Westfjords; and the capital Reykjavik - your gateway to the world-famous wonders of the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon Spa. A day of magical scenic cruising will then provide the perfect start to your time in Greenland and then a stop at Qaqortoq will be your first chance to step foot on Greenlandic shores. From Narsarsuaq you can venture up Signal Hill for stunning views, then in Nanortalik, Greenland’s most southerly town, you’ll discover steep mountains, gorgeous fjords and pretty woodlands.
