Cruise Overview

Greenland cruise | Grand Greenland – Farthest North to Thule and Kane Basin

Join an expedition cruise to northwest Greenland on an epic attempt to explore the seldom-visited Kane Basin region in the ‘farthest north’.

Visit the northernmost communities on Earth and sail beyond the world humans can inhabit.

Discover amazing scenery and Arctic wildlife, and enjoy the chance to spot walruses, narwhals, belugas and polar bears.

The icy waters of Disko Bay and beyond

We head north from Nuuk along the rugged and breathtaking coast of West Greenland. See immense icebergs from tidewater glaciers in Disko Bay, including Sermeq Kujalleq, the gigantic glacier at the head of UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord. As we sail, we’ll be on the lookout for whales.

Hit the north – adventure beyond the ordinary

We’ll explore as far north as we can get, taking in the Kane Basin and the region known in legend as Thule. It’s a pure expedition cruise to the northern limit of the world. The only constraints will be the weather conditions, the sea ice and the time available. Expect Arctic uncertainties, cold-adapted wildlife, ice-choked waters and the coolest summer on Earth.
