ITINERARY
Day
1: Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
Surrounded
by a UNESCO-listed hinterland and the second-largest ice shelf in the
world, Kangerlussuaq is filled with breathtaking landscapes of
glaciers, crevasses and blue meltwater lakes. Take a possible trek to
the remote Russell Glacier, where herds of musk oxen roam free, the
Arctic Circle Trail hike begins and you may witness the ice calving
with a mighty crack. Back in town at the Kangerlussuaq Museum you find
a look at the town’s modern history, as well as that of the
Inuit, the indigenous peoples of the area. For scientific minds,
discover the Kellyville Kangerlussuaq research facility..
Day
2: Sisimiut, Greenland
At
the end of the Arctic Circle Trail sits Sisimiut, where modern and
traditional cultures come together to create a rich tapestry of
Greenland’s history. Take a historical hike through Tele
Island, known as Sallinnguit, home to the Inuit people for over 4,000
years. Here, ruins from various eras whisper tales of the past. Venture
into the wild heart of Sisimiut on an ATV, ready to conquer the rugged
terrain that makes this part of Greenland a beacon for adventurous
souls. As you amble through the picturesque old town, you’ll
be greeted by charming colonial houses that stand as sentinels of
history, their colors and architecture narrating stories of bygone
times. Stop by a local shop to pick up an authentic muskoxen wool pelt,
known as Qiviut, obtained from local hunters.
Day
3: Eqi Glacier (Disko Bay), Greenland
Within
Greenland’s famed Disko Bay you find the awe-inspiring Eqi
Glacier. The mesmerizing blue ice shelves inspire a sense of wonder.
Often referred to as the Calving Glacier – as it is one of
the country’s most active glaciers – if you explore
Eqi you’re likely to see chunks of calving ice fall from the
mass and into the water with a resounding crack. Lying only about 50
miles north of Ilulissat, you’re also surrounded by towering
icebergs upon navigating the glacier.
Day
4: Exploring Disko Bay - Captain's Choice
Disko
Bay is a wonderland of shifting light, breaching whales, and
iceberg-laden waters. Wildlife thrives here, and sightings range from
fin whales, walrus and seabird colonies to the occasional polar bear on
a mass of drifting ice. This region also tells a fascinating geological
story in the lava flows and basalt formations that shaped the dramatic
coastline of the bay’s namesake island, created by volcanic
activity millions of years ago. With UNESCO-listed icefjords and some
of Greenland’s most active glaciers, every bend in the bay
promises a new opportunity for awe, underscoring the
expedition’s spirit of discovery.
Day
5: Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut - Captain's Choice
Located
just off Baffin Island’s eastern coast, Qikiqtarjuaq offers
an authentic window into Canadian Inuit life. This remote hamlet is
known for its mountainous backdrop, iceberg-filled bays, and warm
community spirit. The surrounding waters are rich with marine life such
as bowhead whales and narwhals, and the region is home to a thriving
population of polar bears. Meaning “Big Island” in
Inuktitut, Qikiqtarjuaq invites you to discover how Arctic traditions,
from hunting and fishing to carving and storytelling, are vital
expressions of Inuit culture passed down through generations.
Day
6: At Sea
Spend
the day on the high seas pampering yourself at the spa or enjoying some
time on deck. Mingle with your fellow explorers and swap stories of
your exploits, making plans for new ones together once you get to shore
Day
7: Lady Franklin Island, Nunavut - Captain's Choice
Uninhabited
and ecologically rich, Lady Franklin Island is a haven for Arctic
wildlife. Zodiac cruising here may reveal polar bears roaming the
shoreline, walrus hauled out on ice floes, and seabirds soaring above
its rugged cliffs. Steeped in dramatic scenery and remote tranquility,
this island on the Davis Strait exemplifies the untamed beauty of the
Canadian High Arctic and offers exceptional opportunities for wildlife
observation and nature photography.
Day
7: Monumental Island, Nunavut - Captain's Choice
Named
for its towering rock formations, Monumental Island is a key
destination for spotting polar bears and walrus in the wild. These
craggy outcrops rise from frigid waters, often serving as haul-out
spots for Arctic wildlife. As you explore by Zodiac, listen for the
bark of walrus or watch for the silent movement of polar bears
navigating the shoreline. The island also supports thriving bird
colonies, making it a photographer’s dream. Remote and
untouched, Monumental Island is a quintessential Arctic encounter
— raw, real, and exhilarating.
Day
8: Button Islands, Nunavut - Captain's Choice
This
scattered chain of small islands near the entrance to Hudson Strait
marks a convergence point for Arctic marine species. Zodiac expeditions
through the Button Islands can reveal pods of beluga whales, playful
seals, and possibly narwhals — all navigating the
nutrient-rich currents. The islands are deeply tied to Inuit history as
seasonal hunting grounds, lending cultural significance to the diverse
wildlife in these waters.
Day
9: Saglek Fjord, Torngat Mountains National Park - Captain's Choice
Sailing
through Saglek Fjord offers a jaw-dropping introduction to the Torngat
Mountains National Park. Sheer granite cliffs rise thousands of feet
from the water, while tumbling waterfalls and deep-blue glacial valleys
create an unforgettable tableau. The fjord is home to diverse Arctic
wildlife — from polar bears prowling the shoreline to beluga
whales swimming near its mouth. Co-managed with Inuit partners, this
national park reflects a deep connection between land, culture, and
traditional heritage. Scenic navigation here is both humbling and
awe-inspiring.
Day
10: Hebron, Newfoundland and Labrador - Captain's Choice
Hebron
Fjord combines breathtaking Arctic scenery with poignant human history.
As your yacht glides through towering bluffs and mirrored waters,
you’ll be entering the site of a former Moravian mission and
Inuit settlement — a place that still holds deep cultural
resonance. Though abandoned in the 1950s, Hebron’s haunting
remnants stand as a reminder of the colonial and spiritual crossroads
of the region. The surrounding cliffs are prime territory for spotting
black bears, caribou, and soaring birds of prey, setting meaningful
historical reflection against a backdrop of untamed natural beauty.
Day
11: Tikkoatokak Bay - Captain's Choice
Known
for its wild, glacier-carved terrain and rich wildlife encounters,
Tikkoatokak Bay nestles at the base of the Kiglapait Mountains. Sailing
through this scenic fjord brings views of rugged peaks and ancient
geological formations, along with the possibility of spotting polar
bears patrolling the shoreline. This area is part of Inuit homeland
territory, and the landscape reflects a living cultural legacy.
Icebergs may drift silently past as you take in the serenity of this
isolated bay — a testament to the remarkable power of nature
and the enduring spirit of the Indigenous people.
Day
12: At Sea
Spend
the day on the high seas pampering yourself at the spa or enjoying some
time on deck. Mingle with your fellow explorers and swap stories of
your exploits, making plans for new ones together once you get to shore
Day
13: L’Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland
Step
into history at L’Anse aux Meadows, the only authenticated
Norse settlement in North America and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Located at the tip of Newfoundland’s Great Northern
Peninsula, this archaeological treasure reveals the remains of Viking
sod houses dating back over 1,000 years. Walk among the recreated Norse
buildings, meet historical interpreters, and imagine life as it was
during early transatlantic exploration. Surrounded by windswept shores
and wild grasses, this site offers a powerful connection to the spirit
of discovery and humanity’s passion for exploration.
Day
14: Red Bay (Labrador) - Captain's Choice
As
you sail the Strait of Belle Isle toward the fishing village of Red
Bay, keep your binoculars handy to spy majestic whales breaching the
surf, playful seals basking on rocky coastlines, and myriad seabirds
painting the skies. A shore landing offers the opportunity to hike
coastal trails for breathtaking views and discover the
region’s cultural tapestry, woven with the stories of Basque
whalers who created an outpost here in the 16th century. The
UNESCO-listed Red Bay National Historic Site beckons explorers with its
tales of the pre-industrial European whaling industry and vivid
accounts of maritime life.
Day
15: Norris Point, Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland - Captain's
Choice
Nestled
along the shores of Bonne Bay in Gros Morne National Park, Norris Point
is a gateway to one of the world’s most geologically
significant landscapes. Sailing into the bay offers the chance to
explore the park’s dramatic fjords, towering cliffs, and
unique Tablelands — a rare glimpse of Earth’s
exposed mantle. A shore landing in the quiet fishing village receives a
warm Newfoundland welcome and provides access to hiking trails,
cultural centers, and sweeping views across the water. Whether joining
a guided geology walk or simply soaking in the scenery, Norris Point
invites connection with nature on a profound scale.
Day
15: Woody Point, Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland - Captain's
Choice
A
charming enclave on Bonne Bay, Woody Point is known for its coastal
beauty and deep connection to Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World
Heritage site. A shore landing in the village’s historic
waterfront of brightly painted buildings leads to scenic trails and the
renowned Discovery Centre, offering insights into the area’s
tectonic wonders. Hike across the barren Tablelands — a
striking landscape of orange rock formed by an ancient continental
collision that exposed Earth’s mantle — and then
explore the local music and craft shops. Woody Point pairs geological
grandeur with cultural warmth.
Day
16: At Sea
Spend
the day on the high seas pampering yourself at the spa or enjoying some
time on deck. Mingle with your fellow explorers and swap stories of
your exploits, making plans for new ones together once you get to shore
Day
17: Saint Pierre and Miquelon
A
taste of France awaits on the windswept shores of Saint-Pierre, the
capital of a small archipelago and French overseas territory just off
the coast of Newfoundland. The island exhibits its French flair in
narrow streets, baguette-filled bakeries, and charming
cafés. Take a stroll along the waterfront and visit local
museums that reveal Saint-Pierre’s unique heritage, including
its time as a smuggler’s haven during the Prohibition era in
America. Shop duty-free for French fare such as fine wines and cheeses,
or venture out onto the water in search of the region’s
vibrant marine life, including whales, seals, dolphins and puffins.
Day
18: St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada
One
of the first European settlements in North America, St.
John’s offers a rich history, diverse cultures and beautiful
vistas from every angle. Disembarking in the heart of downtown, meander
charming streets lined with boutiques, galleries, Irish pubs and the
brightly colored homes of Jelly Bean Row. Take in panoramic views
through the glass walls of The Rooms, a massive art and history museum
where the past meets the future, and hike the North Head Trail to
Signal Hill for an equally scenic perspective on the harbor. Descending
to the shore, you’ll find the historic fishing village of
Quidi Vidi, where artisans’ studios stand alongside the boats
bobbing in the harbor, and the local brewery serves craft beer made
with water sourced from icebergs.
