Day 1: Depart from Reykjavik

Today, take a charter flight from Reykjavik to Kulusuk.

Day 2-6: Fjords on the East Greenland Coast

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Sailing northward along the East Greenland coast we will enter several fjords, competing in great beauty, Kangerlussuaq, Miki’s, Nansen and d’Auney’s, most of these with glacier front at the head. Any of these fjords can offer us a chance to see a polar bear.

Day 7: Rømer Fjord and Turner Sound

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Rømer Fjord and Turner Sound give us the opportunity to sail far inland, as they have no glacier front at the head and they are not clogged with glacier ice, which gives us good hiking opportunities. From a ridge on the Manby Peninsula we have a stunning view across the landscape.

Day 8: Scoresby Sund

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Stewart ø is an important hunting station for the people from Scoresby Sund. It is a good area for narwals. There are also beautiful remains of Thule houses.

Day 9: Ittoqqortoormiit

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Ittoqqortoormiit (about 400 inhabitants), at the northern entrance of the Scoresby Sund, is the only Greenlandic settlement of the area. Their nearest neighbors in West Greenland live about 800 km away. A little way west of Kap Stewart we land on the coast of Jameson Land, an undulating tundra landscape with good possibilities to see musk oxen.

Day 10: Disembark in Nerlerit Inaat

  • 1 Breakfast
Sail into the Hurry Inlet, where at the head of the fjord we land at the airfield of Nerlerit Inaat (Constable Pynt) and fly with chartered plane to Reykjavik.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
