Fly from Reykjavik to Akureyri to board your vessel and begin your expedition. Get ready for a great adventure ahead!

Experience a true Arctic ghost town when you visit the abandoned Skoldungen settlement, where inhabitants were forced to move to larger, more accessible towns in 1961. The narrow part of Skoldungenfjord is a great place to explore by Zodiac. Those who opt for the kayaking program may have an opportunity to get out on the water to glide past icebergs and get some views of the local wildlife.

Climbers and mountaineers around the world know Tasermiut Fjord, known as one of the world’s most prolific big wall playgrounds. This part of Greenland is one of the most dramatic, being nicknamed the "Arctic Patagonia." A bit of a history lesson is provided here, as you learn about the settlements of the area, founded by Erik the Red. As your ship rounds Cape Farewell, the southernmost point in Greenland, call in at the natural hot springs found in the Uunartoq area, soak in the geothermal waters, and watch the icebergs pass by.

Heading north, stop in at some of the quaint Greenlandic villages that dot the islands and fjords of Greenland’s western side. Find friendly faces, local artisans, and colorful houses on the wildflower-covered tundra.

Visit Nuuk, the capital of Greenland yet home to fewer than 16,000 people. You have time to wander the streets and see the Hans Egede Church and Hans Egede statue near the waterfront, named after the missionary who founded the settlement. Also visit the museum to see the famous Greenlandic mummies.

The nearby town of Sisimiut is an interesting place to visit as there are more dog sleds here than humans. Evighedsfjorden, meaning Fjord of Eternity, is a favored place for us to put the Zodiacs in the water for some more in-depth exploration. This long, deep fjord has very few settlements, which helps you to appreciate nature in its rawest form. There is an opportunity for hiking among the towering mountains, and you have plenty of chances to photograph the colorful tundra and dramatic landscapes.

The coast of Greenland provides many dramatic, mountainous landscapes where fjords open into the sea. Explore Ilulissat Icefjord, home to one of the world’s fastest moving glaciers. Moving approximately 19m per day, the glacier here provides you with a great opportunity to capture ice crashing into the sea, as it calves more than 35 km3 of ice each year. Continuing along, the Amerdloq Fjord provides you with a chance to stretch your legs by exploring abandoned villages and ancient Thule sites.
