Cruise Overview

Greenland cruise | Discovering Greenland – From Reykjavík to Nuuk

Sail from Reykjavík to southwest Greenland and witness spectacular glaciers and icebergs as we probe deep into seldom-visited fjords.

See awe-inspiring scenery and wildlife, visit colorful local communities and delve into Norse history at ancient sites.

With an onboard focus on science, you learn about the geology that shaped the world’s largest island, as well as its biodiversity and mineral deposits.

Wild nature and traditional communities

Sailing from Reykjavík, we cross the Denmark Strait and explore remote areas that few get to visit. There, you’ll discover Norse ruins, visit traditional communities, explore UNESCO-listed historical sites and learn about the culture of the Arctic peoples.

Wildlife and ice-sculpted landscapes

Witness the majestic landscapes of Greenland as we explore deep fjords cut into breathtaking mountain landscapes, cruise to cascading tidewater glaciers, delight in the otherworldly beauty of crystalline icebergs and spot aquatic mammals along the way.
