Itinerary
Day 1: Fly from Keflavik, Iceland to Constable Point, Greenland & Embarkation *
Starting from Keflavik Airport, Iceland, our charter plane will take us to Nerlerit Inaat Airport (Constable Point), Greenland, where we will join our expedition ship.
Days 2-7: Exploring Scoresby Sund
Explore the stunning landscapes of Scoresby Sund. We will sail through a pristine wilderness filled with icebergs and fjords. Each day, the expedition team will take you exploring with the Zodiacs and undertake some shorter hikes ashore, giving you the chance to get up close and personal with the natural beauty of the region. If conditions permit, we plan to circumnavigate Milne Island. Some locations we may visit include:
- Viking Bay & Danmark Island: Explore Viking Bay by Zodiac cruise, marvelling at the bird cliffs and stunning basalt columns.
- Hare Fjord, which likely gained its name from the Arctic hare that preside here.
- Tour steep-sided Ofjord and land on the Bear Islands for panoramic views of this scenic stretch of Scoresbysund.
- Land on Sydkap to discover Thule remains and a hunters’ cabin, gaining a dramatic view of the surrounding icebergs on the border of the Northeast Greenland National Park.
Day 8: Charter flight back to Keflavik, Iceland
Sail to Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the remotest towns on the planet, with an idiosyncratic culture and way of life. Then, fly back to Keflavik on a charter plane, enjoying dinner and a night in a hotel before returning home.
*All guests will need to arrive into Keflavik/Reykjavik at least 1 day prior to Day 1 (pre-voyage hotel nights in Keflavik/Rekjavik are not included).
