Join the crew of the Rembrant van Rijn on this awe-inspiring, 8-day cruise along the magnificent East Greenland coast. Once in Umivik, follow, for a short distance, the footsteps of Nansen's crossing of the Greenland ice-cap in 1888. Find warm springs in Unartoq. A visit at Isortoq reveals locals still living the traditional life. In Tasiilaq, see where Europeans first met the Eskimos at the end of the 19th century.
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Sail parallel to the magnificent coast of East Greenland towards Umivik, where Nansen began his crossing of the Greenland ice-cap in 1888. Follow a very short distance in his steps towards and on the Greenland ice-cap. From there, work your way in inshore waters into some fjords back to the north sailing into Køge Bugt, a landscape which is similar to Antarctica.
Then sail into Unartoq, where you may find warm springs and land at Husryggen, a vegetated area. Isortoq is an East Greenland outpost, where the people still live a traditional life on an island at the foot of the Greenlandic ice-cap, which descends here to the sea. The crew will attempt to get to the famous Sermilik Fjord and Johan Petersen Fjord with their steep glaciers.
Tasiilaq, formerly known as Ammassalikabout, has 2000 inhabitants. It is the center of East Greenland and has a museum. In this area, the Europeans first met the Eskimos of East Greenland at the end of the 19th century.
