Greenland Explorer

FACTS

Experience the Diversity of Earth’s Largest Island on This Thrilling Voyage Through East, South, and West Greenland

Join us on an expedition cruise from Reykjavík, tracing the Norse sea route to Greenland in far more comfort than a Viking longship. Our journey begins on the rugged east coast, where we’ll experience Tunumiit culture in Tasiilaq and Kuummiut, explore haunting military history at Ikateq, and admire the icy majesty of Sermilikfjord. From here we sail southwards into Skjoldungen Fjord’s perfect stillness, navigate glacier-lined Prins Kristiansund, and venture into the green valleys of South Greenland.

Here we’ll visit Brattahlíð at Qassiarsuk, the first European settlement in the Americas, and trek to Igaliku, once the seat of Greenland’s bishops. Continuing north, we explore Nuuk, Greenland’s colourful capital, where traditional houses stand beside glass towers, and seal hunts meet smartphones. Passing Kangaamiut, steeped in Greenlandic tradition, we’ll end with the soaring cliffs and glaciers of Eternity Fjord.

Join us for a voyage filled with Norse history, Inuit culture, and breathtaking Arctic wilderness.
