Arrive in Maniitsoq from Kangerdlussuak by chartered plane (flight not included in the voyage cost). The town is nestled on an island at the mouth of a fjord surrounded by peaks above 2000 m. The port of Maniitsoq is ice free from late spring to early winter. It is a community where fishing and hunting form the backbone of the economy. There is a museum which portrays regional history and culture. Sperm whale frequently surface in the waters near town.
East of Hamborgerland reach the fantastic landscapes of the Sermilinguaq Fjord, where you will sail by colonies of Brünnich’s guillemot and kittiwake. The Maniitsoq area offers a rugged scenery and mountain tops are flanked by glaciers reaching down to the sea. On snowshoes explore the lower slopes and viewpoints.
Spend quality time in Evighedsfjord and Kangerdluarssuat fjord over the next three days. The skiers climb a 1000 m peak at the interior of Taaterat Glacier and the snowshoe walkers can choose from one of the many hikes in the area, including one near Sermitsiaq glacier. The other days are spent at other high peaks in the region, including Eternity Fjord and the Northern slopes surrounding Kangerdluarssuat fjord north of Kangaamiut. Once skiers and snowshoe walkers reassemble back on the ship each evening, the ship will sail around the beautiful alpine scenery and everyone can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere on-board.
The slopes surrounding Kangerluarsuat are ideal for skiers and snowshoers. The exact location of the day's activities will depend on the snow conditions.
