Cruise Overview

Arctic Canada Cruise | Greenland, Labrador and Newfoundland—Encounters at the Edge

Join us as we set out from Nuuk, then sail down the west coast of Greenland and traverse the Labrador Sea, exploring Newfoundland and sub-Arctic Canada.  

Discover the southern fjords of Greenland, the immense Torngat Mountains, the quaint settlements in coastal Labrador, and charming Newfoundland.  

Delve into the history of settlers as diverse as the Norse, the Inuit and the Basques at this crossroads of cultures.

Four iconic regions of the pristine North 

Setting out from Greenland’s picturesque capital, Nuuk, we’ll traverse the shores of Baffin Bay—the icy sea that links east and west and binds the cultures of Arctic Canada and Greenland. This all-encompassing expedition cruise reveals the exquisite southern fjords of Greenland, the majestic grandeur of the Torngat Mountains, the historic settlements of coastal Labrador, and the charm of Newfoundland. The days will be filled with awe and wonder as we sail expedition-style and set foot in some of the most out-of-the-way places on the planet. 

Exploration at the edge 

As we cruise through biologically rich marine environments and visit remote communities, you’ll learn about the distinct Inuit cultures found in Greenland and Labrador. Situated at a crossroads where migrations from the East and the West met, this region has a captivating past. Uncover the diverse histories of European explorers, Viking settlers, Moravian missionaries and Basque whalers on a fascinating deep dive into the history and ecology of this pristine and under-explored destination.
