Itinerary
Day 1: Embarkation in Keflavik
In the late afternoon, embark the Expedition and set sail for East Greenland. Arrival transfer included. Meals included: Dinner
Days 2: Denmark Strait
Enjoy lectures by the expedition staff while the ships makes its way to Greenland. Be sure to spend some time out on deck searching for whales and seabirds such as soaring fulmars, kittiwakes, gannets, guillemots, and razorbills. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Day 3: Tasiilaq, East Greenland
Arrive across the Denmark Strait in Greenland today and the largest town in East Greenland known as Tasiilaq. Anchor near the village and board zodiacs to shore. Explore by foot and enjoy Tasiilaq’s architecturally unique church, and the small but excellent museum. This town is a gateway to the gorgeous wilderness of the east with opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and experiencing traditional Inuit culture. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Days 4-7: Southern Greenland
Spend the next few days along the southern tip of Greenland. Start by sailing towards the Skjoldungen Fjords and its rugged, spectacular, lonesome scenery. There is very little human presence here with no current or recent settlement. Depending on weather, the group will take zodiacs to shore and visit the Qoornoq site, which are archaeological remains. Then, sail through Prince Christian Sound with its towering mountains, massive glaciers, and a variety of icebergs along the southernmost tip of Greenland. If possible, visit Aappilattoq, often referred to as “The Patagonia of the North” and one of the most remote settlements in the region nestled at the intersection of two long fjords. Next up, visit Hvalsey, a major viking settlement in Greenland established in the 10th century. The ruins are well-preserved and include the church, making it a fascinating place to explore Norse history. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Days 8-9: Davis Strait
The next two days consist of crossing the Davis Strait. This southern arm of the Arctic Ocean lies just north of the Labrador Sea. It can be found between mid-western Greenland and Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada. The strait is named for the English explorer John Davis, who came to the area while seeking a Northwest Passage. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Days 10-13: Newfoundland and Labrador
Enjoy time sailing along the Newfoundland and Labrador coastline. Begin in Hebron, a former Inuit community on the Labrador coast and now a National Historic Site of Canada. Visit in the morning and see the abandoned Moravian mission and the northernmost settlement here. These sites offer a glimpse into Labrador’s unique history, particularly the impact of the Moravian Church on Inuit culture and life. Travel onward via the ship to Hopedale which is the legislative capital of the Inuit Land Claims Area Nunatsiavut, and where the Nunatsiavut Assembly meets. The site has been recognized for its aesthetic, historic, and cultural value, representing a crucial part of Labrador’s heritage. Sail further south to L’Anse aux Meadows, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and only authentic Norse site in North America. And then, see the stunning scenery of Woody Point. Located on the edge of Bonne Bay with the Tablelands as its impressive backdrop, it is the gateway to Gros Morne National Park where there are lots of opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Days 14-15: Woody Point/St. John’s
Enjoy time at sea aboard the ship between Woody Point and St. John’s, the capital of Newfoundland. It is one of the oldest and most easterly cities in North America and combines big-city with traditional small-town charm. Arrive sometime on the second day at sea and explore the city’s old streets, “candy row” houses, and take in the views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 16: Disembarkation in St. John’s
Shortly after breakfast, disembark the ship. Transfers to the St. John’s airport will be offered to all passengers with flights scheduled. For guests who are planning on staying in Newfoundland post trip, taxis will be available for hire at the port to transfer them to their accommodations. Please do not book onward travel prior to 12:00pm. Meals included: Breakfast.
Please note the itinerary and route map are only tentative outlines of what you may experience. No specific itinerary, routing or landing sites can be guaranteed in advance. Where the ship actually sails will depend on a lot of factors including, but not limited to, the weather & ice conditions and the captain & expedition leader. Every trip is different, which adds to the excitement of expedition cruising in the polar regions.
