Fly from Paris to Kangerlussuaq and transfer to the port. Before boarding the ship, take part in an optional excursion to the Polar Cap. Embark between 5:00pm and 6:00pm, then set sail on your amazing Arctic cruise!

*Round-trip airfare to/from Kangerlussuaq/Paris is included in the cruise fare.

At the heart of Disko Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ilulissat Icefjord provides an extraordinary spectacle of almost surreal beauty. The sculptural icebergs continue on their timeless journey, shimmering with their eternal light. Vast pieces of ice break off from the bergs and rejoin the inexorable movement of the sea. Close by lies the town of Ilulissat, the region’s principal destination. Encircled by icebergs, it has retained a unique mix of traditional Arctic life, with multi-colored wooden houses, huskies, and the leather tanners who still work today using the ancient methods of their ancestors.

* An additional optional evening cruise is available on day 2 of the cruise, as well as additional walking and Zodiac cruise tours around the ice fjords on day 3.

On day 2 cruise along the coast of Ilulissat with its colored houses, and then get to the open sea so as to reach the ice fjord of Ilullissat, called the Isfjord. Experience an unforgettable moment where the colors change with the inclination of the sun, which does not go down at this season in this area. The icebergs and the ice packs have golden, pink, red or mauve glints.

On day 3 choose between two optional excursions:

- Leave the wharf by bus and go through Ilulissat to the south. After a guided walk of about 45 minutes, reach the idyllic Sermermiut Valley. Then walk back to the bus to return to Ilulissat, the old city and the port. If you want, saunter in the city and pay homage to Knud Rasmussen, famous Danish explorer who was born in Ilulissat and whose childhood home became a museum. 

- As the ship anchors, board small local boats directly from the ship. Cruise along the coast to discover Ilulissat and its colored houses, and then get to the open sea to reach the Isfjord. The small boats slide on the calm waters of Disko Bay by clearing their way between the small ice packs. At the end of this navigation among the ice, go back to the vessel.

Today, explore one of Greenland's most impressive and breathtaking sights, Eqi Glacier. Also, stop and hike around Paul-Emile Victor Base Camp, where the French explorer led polar and trans-Greenland land expeditions with sleds and huskies.

Explore the stunning Upernavik Fjord, which flows to the northwest between two island chains, and empties into Baffin Bay.

Today, travel around fascinating Melville Bay, an area covered with ice and glaciers. Here, you may be able to see narwhals, belugas, and polar bears.

Sail to Savissivik, an amazing area filled with numerous meteorite fragments that have been found in the area.

Today, stop in the interesting city of Thule, full of meteorite fragments and home to the United States Air Force's most northern base.

Start your Nunavut journey in Pond Inlet, located at the entrance of the Northwest Passage. Formerly called Tununiq by the Inuit, this region was long ago inhabited by their ancestors, the Thule, who left behind numerous archaeological artifacts, little vestiges of the past. No matter where you look, your eyes alight upon a unique landscape of snow-capped mountain ranges, each more beautiful than the last, standing opposite ice-blue glaciers whose vertiginous flows descend into the ocean. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the bird colonies of Bylot Island; your route sails close to this uninhabited "Garden of Eden" so that you may wonder at its natural marvels.

Spend today admiring the beautiful mountains, glaciers, and valleys surrounding Sam Fjord. In this amazing wilderness area, you can also spot many migratory bird sanctuaries.

Today, explore the gorgeous Inuit hamlet of Clyde River. This area is located on the shores of Baffin Island's Patricia Bay, in the Arctic Cordillera mountain range.

Spend today taking in the pristine Arctic treasure of Isabella Bay, where you may see groups of threatened Davis Strait-Baffin Bay bowhead whales. Then, begin the journey across the remarkable Davis Strait.

After crossing the Davis Strait, spend your last day in the charming fishing village of Sisimiut.

Disembark this morning and transfer to the airport.
