Day 1: Arrive in Reykjavik

Welcome to Reykjavik, the vibrant capital of Iceland. Relax and spend the overnight here preparing for your adventure.

Day 2: Reykjavik | Embark

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Dinner
The capital of Iceland’s land of ice, fire, and natural wonder, Reykjavik is a city like no other - blossoming among some of the world’s most vibrant and violent scenery. Reykjavik is the island’s only real city, and a welcoming and walkable place - full of bicycles gliding along boulevards or battling the wind when it rears up. Fresh licks of paint brighten the streets, and an artistic and creative atmosphere embraces studios and galleries - as well as the kitchens where an exciting culinary scene is burgeoning. Plot your adventures in the city's hip bars and cozy cafes, or waste no time venturing out to Iceland’s outdoor adventures.

Reykjavik’s buildings stand together in a low huddle - below the whip of winter’s winds - but the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja church is a solid exception, with its bell tower rising resolutely over the city. Iceland’s largest church's design echoes the lava flows that have shaped this remote land and boasts a clean and elegant interior. Walk in the crusts between continents, feel the spray from bursts of geysers, and witness the enduring power of Iceland’s massive waterfalls. Whether you want to sizzle away in the earth-heated geothermal pools or hike to your heart’s content, you can do it all from Reykjavik - the colorful capital of this astonishing outdoor country.

Day 3: Day at sea

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind and catch up with what you’ve been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring the shore side.

Day 4: Tasiilaq | Sermilligaaq Fjord

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
East Greenland's largest town, Tasiilaq, with a population of about 2,000, is situated overlooking King Oscar's Harbor. Here, lush meadows stand in stark contrast to the innumerable icebergs that frequently bottleneck the Sermilik Fjord, the largest in southeast Greenland.

Day 5: Day at sea

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind and catch up with what you’ve been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring the shore side.

Day 6: Watkins Fjord

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Discover the lovely Watkins Fjord, one of the minor side streams of the Kangerlussuaq Fjord. The expansive Frederiksborg glacier valley empties into this lavish desert of rock and ice, which is topped by the jagged Lemon Range mountains.

Day 7: Ittoqqortoormiit

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
In the 1920s the sparsely settled coast of East Greenland had too many families living in Ammassalik (today’s Tasiilaq) for the hunting grounds available and in 1925 Scoresby sund was chosen to start a new settlement with some 70 Inuit from Ammassalik and four families from West Greenland. Less than 10 kilometers from the entrance to the Scoresby sund system, Ittoqqortoormiit (“Big House Dwellers”) lies on the southern tip of Liverpool Land, a low and rounded area compared to the steeper mountains further south or into the fjord system. Some 460 inhabitants call Ittoqqortoormiit, one of Greenland’s most isolated settlements, their home. Not counting the military and civilian researchers at Daneborg, Northeast Greenland, their closest neighbors live in Iceland. Although Greenland’s hottest hot springs are located some 8 kilometers south of Ittoqqortoormiit, the village is frozen in some nine months of the year and access to other parts of the country can only be done via the Nerlerit Inaat Airport at Constable Point some 38 km to the north with flights to Iceland and West Greenland. The former village’s shop serves as a small museum and features historic photographs and costumes and shows what a typical hunter’s home from the 1960s looked like. Today hunting narwhals, seals, polar bears, and muskoxen is still an important part of life, but tourism is gaining importance.

Day 8-10: Scoresby Sund

  • Ship
  • 3 Breakfasts, 3 Lunches, 3 Dinners
Scoresby Sund is the largest and longest fjord system in the world and exhibits all the natural wonders Greenland has to offer. This labyrinth of islands, fjords, and ice boggles the mind at every turn. Named in honor of William Scoresby, the English explorer who mapped the area in 1822, Scoresby Sund today hosts only the small town of Ittoqqortoormiit, although it has been inhabited by many Paleo-Eskimo cultures in the past.

The area is incredibly rich in Arctic wildlife, hosting musk oxen, arctic foxes, and a wealth of marine life including whales, belugas, narwhals, walruses, and seals, as well as several species of sea birds, including King Eiders, Atlantic Puffins and several species of geese which migrate to the area during the fleeting Arctic Summer. It is also one of the best places in the world to see polar bears in their natural habitat, an experience that can never be forgotten. But the scenery is the true highlight of Scoresby Sund. The area is very sheltered, and the waters of the fjords are often glassy and calm, save the vast icebergs which calve off the vast glaciers which drain from the Greenland Ice Sheet into the fjord. Staggering geological variation means no two mountain views are the same, some are black, layers, and covered with permanent ice, while some are jagged, pinnacled cliffs sweeping out to the fjord to eye-watering heights, crowned with ice that never melts.

Day 11-15: Expedition Northeast Greenland

  • Ship
  • 5 Breakfasts, 5 Lunches, 5 Dinners
Remote, harsh, and breathtakingly beautiful, Northeast Greenland tales the breath way like nowhere else. Administratively, the area is split between Sermersooq and Avanaatta Municipalities and the vast Northeast Greenland National Park, the northernmost and largest national park in the world. So large is this protected wilderness that it is larger than all but the largest twenty-nine countries on Earth, and only marine reserves are larger, in terms of protected areas. In the past, the area saw migration by waves of paleo-Eskimo cultures, all taking advantage of the rich hunting in the area, many migrating over the north of Greenland, and down the East Coast. Northeast Greenland is rich in archaeological sites as people followed the prey with the seasons.

Today, the area has no permanent population, but hunters from Ittoqqortoomiit ('People who Live in Big Houses'), the only town in the area, often frequent the area by dogsled, hunting for musk oxen, polar bears, walrus, and seals, all of which are common in the area. The non-native population is scattered around a few remote scientific stations, and the legendary Sirius Patrol, an elite branch of the Danish military in charge of enforcing Danish Sovereignty and acting as a long-range reconnaissance unit, traveling by dogsled into the wilderness, often for weeks at a time.

Day 16: Day at sea

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind and catch up with what you’ve been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring the shore side.

Day 17: Stykkisholmur | Flatey Island

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Stykkishólmur is located in western Iceland at the northern end of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The town center boasts beautiful and well-preserved old houses from earlier times. Stykkisholmur is very environmentally conscious – it was the first community in Europe to get the EarthCheck environmental certification, was the first municipality in Iceland to start fully sorting its waste and was the first town in Iceland to receive the prestigious Blue flag eco-label for its harbor. 

Flatey is the ‘flat island’ just as the name sounds. These days Flatey is mainly seasonally populated with many brightly painted, wooden summer cottages to be found here. Like many other small islands around Iceland though, Flatey was once a hub for fishing and trade. This particular island prospered so much that it was the center of commercial and cultural life in the 19th century for this part of Iceland. Thanks to the surrounding nutrient-rich waters 35 species of birds have been counted on Flatey ranging from Eider Ducks and Atlantic Puffins, to Arctic Terns, Red-necked Phalaropes, Ringed Plover, and Snow Buntings.

Day 18: Reykjavik | Disembark

After breakfast, disembark Silver Endeavour. Transfer to the hotel for a post-cruise overnight stay.

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!
