Beginning in Reykjavík, cross the Denmark Strait and begin your expedition to Greenland in the fjords of its eastern coast, the largest National Park in the world and home to countless colonies of seabirds, reindeer grazing on the shore, and walrus. Once the ship rounds Cape Farewell, continue north, eventually crossing the Arctic Circle to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Disko Bay, with its magnificent calving glaciers and year-round population of beluga whales. Returning south toward Kangerlussuaq, pause along the way to visit Inuit communities that dot the shore. Aboard the ship’s fleet of Zodiacs, explore a wilderness that remains largely unchanged since the time of Erik the Red and call at the site of his settlement in Nuuk, now Greenland’s capital. Throughout this world of ice floes and glaciers, we will encounter countless colonies of seabirds, various species of whales and seals, reindeer, walrus, and if we are fortunate, a polar bear or two.
Lowest cabin categories from $13,490 per person, not including airfare.
