    • Cruising the Denmark Strait
    In the wake of Vikings. We sail toward Greenland across the Denmark Strait, the route taken by Erik the Red, supposedly the first European to have settled there. Your Expedition Team will share the protocols of respectfully visiting wildlife habitats and indigenous Arctic communities. In the Science Center, you can learn more about Greenland's geology, or join one of the Citizen Science projects. You can relax in comfort onboard the ship. Hit the gym, soak in our open-air hot tubs-or enjoy a delicious meal in one of the onboard restaurants. ...

    Cruising Prince Christian Sound, Greenland
    • Cruising Prince Christian Sound, Greenland
    Breathtaking panoramas and abundant wildlife. We aim to explore the incredible waters of the 60-mile-long Prins Christians Sund on your included excursion today. Sharp-peaked granite mountains provide a stunning contrast to the bright white glaciers. Look out for calving icebergs and colorful houses in the village of Aappilattoq. Nature is abundant here. You'll see ringed and bearded seals resting on the ice, and glaucous gulls and black guillemots soaring down from above. You may even spot minke and humpback whales. If sea ice prevents us entering the sound, we'll head to craggy Cape Farewell, the southernmost point of Greenland. ...

    • Kvanefjord, Greenland, Denmark, Denmark
    Discover the glacial beauty of the west coast fjords. Experience your first sight of Greenland's sublime west coast fjords as we reach Kvanefjord in Sermersooq, meaning 'Place of Much Ice'. Have your camera ready for glistening icebergs and semi-submerged glacial ice-pure white with undertones of crystalline blue. These sculpted ice blocks are some of Arctic nature's finest creations. Few people venture into this remote fjord, making it even more special to spend the day exploring here. The Expedition Team will select places to head ashore to enjoy the beautiful scenery on nature walks, or head out in boats to scout for wildlife. ...

    Nuuk, Greenland

    Experience Greenlandic culture, old and new, in Nuuk. After several days exploring remote, idyllic icescapes, you'll cruise into Nuuk, Greenland's colorful capital. With a population of 18,000, it has a striking mix of old and new buildings. Compare the old buildings-Hans Egede's House and Nuuk Cathedral-with the ultra-modern architecture of Greenland's Parliament. Visit Katuaq Cultural Centre, where you'll experience a Greenlandic mask dance, enjoy some local delicacies, and listen to the local choir on an included activity. Visit the National Museum to see six Qilakitsoq mummies, offering a fascinating insight to life here 500 years ago. Join an optional nature walk around Mount Lille Malene and explore the pristine nature around Nuuk. ...

    Sisimiut, Greenland
    • Sisimiut, Greenland
    Enjoy a warm welcome in Arctic Greenland. We reach Sisimiut, Greenland's second city. It sits in a spectacular location just 25 miles north of the Arctic Circle. This area has history spanning more than 4,500 years. Old traditions are alive and well here. You can learn more about the ancient Saqqaq artefacts in the local museum and Taseralik Culture Center. Pick up a special souvenir-a qiviut scarf, hat, or mittens-made from a local fabric said to be 10 times warmer than sheep wool. One of the best things you'll experience on your expedition cruise in Greenland is meeting the local communities-real interactions that make for fantastic memories. ...

    • Jakobshavn, Greenland
    The town where you can see and hear the ice flow. Our expedition cruise reaches Disko Bay-a haven for walruses, whales, and seals. You're in for a unique experience. Nestled in magnificent Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is Ilulissat. Against a backdrop of colorful houses is an ever-changing gallery of passing icebergs. Marvel at these giants as they float past the town, taking on different hues of white, grey, and blue. You won't just see them, you'll hear them too. As they bump into one another, the cracks, creaks, and rumbles echo all around. Even amateur photographers will return to ship with the most enviable images. ...

    Watch for wildlife and get involved in Citizen Science. Leaving Greenland behind, we'll set a course for Canada across the Labrador Sea.

The Expedition Team will continue their onboard lectures on topics from the wildlife of Northern Labrador to Inuit culture and the history of Arctic exploration.

    • Gjoa Haven, Canada
    Crossing a historical sea corridor through Canada's Arctic archipelago. Like pioneering explorers who've come before you, we won't have an exact itinerary as we attempt to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific via the famed sea route, the Northwest Passage. We plan to stop at Pond Inlet, Dundas Harbour, Fort Ross, and Gjoa Haven if conditions are in our favor. As we explore, we'll land at sites linked to early exploration history, visit Inuit communities, and look out for Arctic wildlife such as polar bears, whales, narwhals, seals, and seabirds. You'll go expedition boat cruising between ice floes, and go ashore to experience the pristine wilderness first hand. Your Expedition Team will adapt activities to ice and weather conditions, giving you the best experience possible. We'll try to reach Pond Inlet and the Inuit community of Mittimatalik on Baffin Island. On Devon Island-the largest uninhabited island on Earth-we'll visit Dundas Harbour and learn about its Thule heritage. We may pay our respects at the graves of three Franklin expedition team members on Beechey Island. We'll continue west to Fort Ross, a former Hudson Bay Trading post before sailing to Gjoa Haven, where Roald Amundsen learned polar survival tips from the Netsilik Inuit. If we are able, we'll take a walking tour to learn more. ...

You'll also find the Canadian High Arctic Research Station, an important center for climate change research, here too. Home to 2,000 residents, Cambridge Bay is popular with fly-fishers, keen to net giant char or lake trout. Its local name 'Iqaluktuuttiaq' even means 'a good fishing place'. Walk around and explore before we take our evening flight to Montreal, where we'll spend the night. ...
