Day 1: Kangerlussuaq, Greenland | Embark

Start your journey by sailing through Kangerlussuaq Fjord (Søndre Strømfjord), a stunning 190-kilometer waterway surrounded by towering mountains and glaciers.

As you cross the Arctic Circle, step out on deck to watch for the mesmerizing northern lights dancing across the sky.

Kangerlussuaq, located at the head of the fjord, was once a U.S. Air Force base and now serves as a gateway to Greenland’s vast wilderness.
After your charter flight from Toronto, ON, board a Zodiac for a scenic transfer to your expedition ship.

Day 2: Kangerlussuatsiaq Fjord (Evighedsfjorden)

Kangerlussuatsiaq means “the rather big fjord” in Greenlandic, while its Danish name, Evighedsfjorden, translates to “the fjord of eternity,” highlighting its immense size and seemingly endless expanse.

Experience the grandeur of Kangerlussuatsiaq Fjord as you sail through its breathtaking waters. Towering mountains, calving glaciers, and sheer bird cliffs create a stunning backdrop while cascading streams carve down the rugged landscape.

Explore this remarkable glacial fjord by ship and Zodiac, getting up close to its dramatic features.

Despite its Arctic location, the waters here remain relatively warm, thanks to the influence of the West Greenland Current.

Day 3: Nuuk

Stop in at vibrant Nuuk, the capital of Greenland.

Visit the Greenland National Museum, one of the city’s many outstanding features, where the world-famous Qilakitsoq mummies rest.

The old harbor includes many buildings dating from Danish colonial days, while contemporary Nuuk is known for art, shopping, pubs, and cafés.

Day 4: At Sea | Davis Strait

Deepen your understanding of the environment, cultures, and history of the region as you sail across the Davis Strait towards Labrador. Get the privileged opportunity to engage with and learn from Inuit in their homeland.

Enjoy workshops and presentations, watch a documentary, and get out on deck! Try your hand at athletic feats during an interactive cultural performance of Inuit games.

Through shared experiences and interactions, develop a deep appreciation for the culture and gain a connection to the stunning landscapes you traverse.

Keep your binoculars ready to spot whales and seabirds who follow in our wake.

Day 5-8: Torngat Mountain Range, NL, Canada

Spend time exploring an area of treeless, mountainous tundra in Torngat Mountains National Park, where some of Canada’s highest peaks east of the Rockies are found.

Enjoy your time hiking, visiting archaeological sites, and Zodiac cruising. Here, Inuit of Nunatsiavut is your guides in their spiritual homeland.

Inuit of Nunavik and Nunatsiavut play a key role as partners in the management of Torngat Mountains National Park, and many see the park as a portal for a better understanding of Inuit culture.

The word Torngat is derived from the Inuttut word tongait, meaning “place of spirits,” where Inuit shamans traveled to connect with higher powers. It is not hard, even for a visitor, to feel the power of the place.

Marvel at the gorgeous fjords, landscapes ablaze with autumn colors, and wonderful wildlife sighting opportunities, including the possibility of both polar and black bears.

Day 9: Hebron

Step back in time to the historical site of Hebron, which preserves a Moravian Mission station dating from the 1830s.

Call in at the old church, where Inuit who resided here in 1959 learned of their forced relocation.

Take a moment to let history sink in and read the plaque that commemorates this history and the apology to people affected by the relocations, issued by the government of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2005.

Listen to the stories shared by our guides and meet former Hebron residents and their kin who continue to visit the site and hunt and fish nearby.

Day 10: Nain

Visit Nain, the most northerly community in Labrador and the administrative capital of Nunatsiavut.

Stop in at the historic Moravian church, enjoy the brass band, and visit Illusuak, the stunning cultural center.

Expect a warm welcome and the opportunity to peruse arts and handicrafts at this dynamic visit.

This is your first chance to see trees since the start of your journey!

Day 11-12: The Labrador Coast

As you continue south the rugged peaks of the North give way to rolling, forested hills and tranquil inlets. Hundreds of rocky islets interrupt the open Labrador Sea, offering some shelter for vibrant Inuit communities where traditions endure and stories flow with the tides.

The modern-day cultural mix of this area makes for a rich blend of stories about both different and shared values, resilience, and the universal love of the land and sea.

Conditions allow, you'll embark on expedition landings and Zodiac cruises led by our expedition team. Their expert guidance ensures both your safety and a deeper appreciation of the coastal barrens, boreal forests, wetlands, and rugged shorelines of this remarkable region.

Come with an open heart, and leave with a new understanding of these magnificent Labrador shores.

Day 13: L'Anse aux Meadows

Wander through the reconstructed Viking habitation at L’Anse aux Meadows, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only authenticated Norse settlement in North America.

Learn more about the archaeological remains that date to approximately 1000 CE, and how—amazingly—the site was first found here in 1960 by a close reading of the Viking sagas.

Be sure to visit the superb interpretation center and meet the actors in period costumes as you make your way through the reconstructed Norse-style sod buildings. This is a must-see for any visitor to Newfoundland and Labrador!

Day 14: Northwest Newfoundland

The northeast coast of Newfoundland is known for the dozens of picturesque villages that dot its rocky shores, and you'll find a harbor in one of these unique communities. Look forward to a characteristically warm Newfoundland welcome upon our arrival. Photographers have their work cut out for them capturing the special charm of classic island architecture.

Day 15: St. John's, NL, Canada | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Welcome to St. John’s—the vibrant capital of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Complete your journey by sailing into historic St. John’s harbor, looking out for Signal Hill as you enter the world-famous Narrows.

Photograph the charming houses of the Battery, always a hit with shutterbugs.

Say your farewells in this cultural hotspot and what is sometimes called North America's oldest city.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
