As you cruise north across the Denmark Strait, with views of Greenland in the distance, your Expedition Team prepares you for the adventures that await. Learn about the storied history and politics of the Arctic, its fascinating wildlife, geology, ecology, and climate, and the incredible sights for you to explore soon. The team also searches for the seabirds soaring around your ship and the whales that frequent the waters here.
During your tour of Greenland’s remote northeast coast, enjoy Zodiac cruises and shore visits to several locations. Keep an eye out for grazing muskoxen, as 40 percent of the world’s population lives in Northeast Greenland National Park. At the entrance of the sound is East Greenland’s most northerly community, Ittoqqortoormiit, where you may spend time interacting with the Inuit people and learning about their way of life. You may also have a chance to see the Northern Lights here if the skies are clear. Magnificent vistas also await at Kong Oscar Fjord, with possible landings at Ella Ø, renowned for its rugged cliffs and ice-choked waters, and flower-rich Botanikerbugt on Ymer Ø.
