ITINERARY
Aug
09: Reykjavik, Iceland Depart: 8:00 pm
In
the southwest of Iceland near Faxaflói Bay lies the capital
of the country, Reykjavík, simultaneously cosmopolitan and
charming. The colorful houses on the horizon create a quaint scene that
will make you want to stay forever. Kaleidoscopic views await you at
the Harpa Concert Hall, a glittering, glass structure that perfectly
exemplifies Iceland’s modern design and will fascinate your
inner architect. One of Iceland’s most prominent landmarks is
Perlan, originally a group of hot water tanks that was converted to a
building that now hosts an exhibition, planetarium, restaurant and
observation deck, located atop Öskjuhlíð
hill.
Aug
10: Grundarfjörður, Iceland Arrive: 7:00 am Depart:
3:00 pm
Amid
the wondrous features of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula lies the
small town of Grundarfjörður, home to fewer than 1,000
inhabitants. Its shining star of a landmark, Kirkjufell, translating to
"Church Mountain," beckons explorers to come and discover the beauty of
Iceland. Together with the mountain, a three-pronged waterfall called
Kirkjufellsfoss creates an exquisite scene straight out of fantasy.
Taking a walk through the center of town, you will come across an orca
on land. It’s actually a sculpture created by Unnsteinn
Guðmundsson and it was modeled after Thunderstorm the orca, a
male whale who often greets visitors during whale watching tours.
Aug
11: 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
Aug
12: Prince Christian Sound – Captain’s Choice
Along
the southern edge of Greenland sits the awe-inspiring Prince Christian
Sound, also known as Prins Christian Sund. Snow-capped mountains on the
horizon and borders of glaciers and icebergs make this a stunning
waterway to navigate on an expedition. You may possibly make a landing
in the tiny village of Aappilattoq, home to fewer than 100 people
living in the colorful, yellow, red and blue, Nordic-style houses.
Around the sound wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of fin,
minke and blue whales, as well as bearded and ringed seals.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE
— Your Captain will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs and
changing sea and weather conditions to ensure you experience the most
from your expedition. Each day is a new adventure filled with a
spontaneous sense of exploration as your Captain works with our
expedition team to determine possible shore landings and Zodiac
safaris. All itinerary routes serve as examples and are subject to
change based on current conditions, prioritizing the safety and optimal
expedition experience for all guests.
Aug
13: Qaqortoq, Greenland Arrive: 9:00 am Depart: 6:00 pm
The
largest city in southern Greenland is perhaps best known for its
open-air “Stone and Man” art exhibition featuring
sculptures from some of the country’s most renowned artists
built around Qaqortoq’s colonial center. In this historic
center, you also find Mindebrønde, Greenland’s
oldest fountain. Near the town sit the Viking ruins of Hvalsey Church,
the last known written records of the Greenlandic Norse who attended a
wedding in 1408 BCE. Hot springs are abundant in Greenland, but the
outdoor spa on the uninhabited island of Uunartoq comes with
surrounding views of mountain peaks in the distance, making it a
favorite among locals and explorers alike. Set within a stunning scene
of nature, there are plenty of opportunities for kayaking, hiking,
fishing and other outdoor activities.
Aug
14: Narsarsuaq, Greenland Arrive: 7:00 am Depart: 4:00 pm
As
a gateway to South Greenland’s Norse ruins of Qassiarsuk and
having played an important role among the Allies of World War II,
Narsarsuaq holds a rich history. Home of the Greenland Arboretum, find
lush hiking trails resplendent with Greenlandic wildflowers in the
summer. These paths lead to viewpoints overlooking glaciers that make
for a stunning scene. Nearby sits another small town, Igaliku, where
you find another old Norse settlement but a more tranquil scenery away
from the crowds. From Narsarsuaq you may access the Greenlandic Ice
Sheet by way of the Flower Valley.
Aug
15: Paamiut, Greenland Arrive: 9:00 am Depart: 5:00 pm
Inhabited
since 1500 BCE and lying off the beaten path amid a scene of wild
fjords, the village of Paamiut truly embodies the essence of
exploration. Walking among the colorful houses, you’re likely
to find the locals drying seal meat and pelts on racks under their
homes. Seek out a local guide from the Paamiut museum who can show you
the town’s history, such as the peat houses the Inuit built
to keep warm in the winters. As you hike the paths of ancient trails,
white-tailed eagles may soar above, and it’s said if you spot
one, it will bring luck. From the shores, keep an eye on the horizon,
looking for humpback, minke and fin whales that are abundant in the
region in the summer.
Aug
16: Nuuk, Greenland Arrive: 1:30 pm Depart: 8:00 pm
The
capital of Greenland, Nuuk, sits in the fjord system of the same name
best known for humpback whales, waterfalls and icebergs. This unique
city contains mountains and expansive backcountry on one side and a
thriving metropolitan on the other, filled with culinary experiences,
museums and fashion boutiques. Hiking, stand-up paddleboarding and
kayaking can be found most anywhere for more active explorers.
Nuuk’s cultural center Katuaq displays architectural prowess
with a building designed to mimic the waves of the Aurora Borealis. You
may find an opportunity to fish for cod or redfish and have it cooked
for you at the gourmet restaurant Qooqqut Nuan.
Aug
17: Akulleq, Greenland — Captain’s Choice Arrive:
8:00 am Depart: 6:00 pm
Breathe
in the crisp air and set your sights on the untouched beauty of
Akulleq, a land where the ice reigns supreme and the mysteries of the
Arctic come alive. Nestled in the heart of Greenland, Akulleq invites
you to uncover its serene landscapes and rare wildlife. You may catch a
glimpse of agile Arctic foxes dashing through the frost or experience
the grandeur of breaching humpback whales against a backdrop of
floating icebergs. Perhaps some charming harp seals will greet you from
their ice floes if you take a Zodiac safari through the pristine
waters. If your expedition team takes you and your fellow explorers on
a shore landing, you may trek across the unspoiled tundra and witness
the raw beauty of the Arctic wilderness first-hand. Capture
breathtaking images of wildlife and landscapes, possibly under the
expert guidance of a seasoned naturalist..

Aug
19: Kangerlussuaq, Greenland Arrive: 8:00 am
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.
