Welcome to Greenland! Take your Charter flight from Keflavik to Kangerlussuaq. The MS Seaventure anchors off Kanglerlussuaq and embarkation is conducted via your Zodiac boat. The ship departs in the evening.
The small town of Qeqertarsuaq is on the south side of the Disco Island. The Danish name of the settlement is godhavn, which translates to "Good Harbour". The name is due to the favorable location and abundance of whales attributed to the bay.
Your next stop is Ilulissat, which means "iceberg" in Greenlandic. And with good reason, as the town is located at the mouth of the iceberg-filled Ilulissat Ice Fjord. Delight in the thunderous spectacle when icebergs break off from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier and plunge into the fjord.
With approx. 5,600 inhabitants, Sisimiut is the second largest town in Greenland. It is a modern settlement that maintains ancient traditions. The fishing industry still plays an important role.
Nuuk is the capital of Greenland and its oldest town. Founded in 1728 by Danish-Norwegian missionary Hans Egede, the city combines Arctic traditions and European urbanity. With around 16,000 inhabitants, Nuuk is considered a modern, bustling metropolis compared to the rest of Greenland. Visit the city sights on a walking tour that ends at the National Museum, which exhibits the famous mummies of Qilakitsoq.
The underwater world is like no other, it contains a forest of remarkable mineral columns growing on the seabed. The columns formed tens of thousands of years ago of the extremely rare mineral Ikait.
When conditions are favorable, travel along Prince Christian Sound. In this narrow, often ice-choked channel, you can get so close to icebergs that you can almost reach out and touch them.
The island is characterized by several glaciers, jagged peaks, rivers, lakes and waterfalls. There are vast green valleys and deep fjords with newly calved icebergs dropping off the ice cap into the sea. Tasiiilaq, the largest town in East Greenland, is located on Ammassalik Island. With its population of approximately 2,000 people, the town is the gateway to explore East Greenland.
Today, sail across the Denmark Strait towards Iceland. This route was used by Norse settlers traveling to Greenland hundreds of years ago.
