East Greenland & Scoresby Sund: 9-night cruise

This morning, you’ll travel to Akureyri, where your ship awaits. Once aboard, you’ll set sail across the North Atlantic, beginning your journey toward the captivating landscapes of Greenland.

As you sail northward, keep an eye out for seabirds like fulmars, kittiwakes, gannets, and common guillemots gliding alongside the ship. Crossing the Arctic Circle adds a sense of adventure, with the chance to spot whales in the open waters. By evening, the first icebergs begin to appear on the horizon, signalling your approach to Greenland’s dramatic east coast.

Today’s journey may include a Zodiac cruise near the glaciated Volquart Boons Kys, along with a visit to the basalt columns and ice formations of Vikingebugt. In the afternoon, the ship plans to sail along the east coast of Milne Land among a multitude of giant icebergs.

Today’s journey may include a Zodiac cruise near Sorte Ø, where drifting icebergs will surround you. In the afternoon, the ship navigates through the northern reaches of Røde Fjord and into Harefjord, offering a chance to spot musk oxen grazing among the warm hues of autumn foliage.

In the morning, you may encounter icebergs, many of which remain grounded due to the fjord’s relatively shallow depth of around 400 meters (1,312 feet). Later, you’ll land near Sydkap, where sweeping views of Hall Bredning unfold before you, and there’s a good chance of spotting Arctic hares among the rugged terrain.

Today, you may go ashore at Ittoqqortoormiit, a settlement of 500 people in the Scoresby Sund. You may visit one of the world's most remote post offices, and in the streets, you'll see vignettes of daily life: dog sleds and the drying skins of seals and musk oxen.

The island of Stewart Ø is a vital hunting station for the people of Scoresby Sound and also a good area to spot polar bears and the remains of Thule houses.

Turner Sound and Rømer Fjord grant you the opportunity to sail far inland, as they have no glacier front at the head and aren’t clogged with ice. In this location, you may get the opportunity to spot narwhals.

A day at sea grants you the opportunity to spot whales and seabirds.

Today, you disembark in Akureyri, then you transfer to the airport for your flight to Reykjavík.

Embark on a guided food tour of Reykjavík, sampling some of the most common Icelandic dishes as you wander through the capital's streets on foot. The rest of the day is at your leisure to explore Reykjavík's museums, shops, restaurants, and attractions.

Transfer by private car to Keflavík Airport in time for your onward flight.
