Greenland & East Canada

On this voyage we don't only explore the Greenlandic fjords, but we'll venture further towards Canada's Newfoundland and Labrador coasts. You’ll encounter traditional Inuit communities living in the most remote regions of Greenland and learn about the legendary polar explorers who eagerly tried to find a way through the icy waters surrounding this part of the Arctic.
We expect to encounter a wide variety of wildlife. Always keep an eye out for whales, seals and arctic foxes that might be closer than you think. And with a bit of luck we might even see polar bears.

South & West Greenland

Greenland has the most spectacular Arctic landscape that will amaze you with it's diversity. Explore the remote fjords in Torngat Mountains National Park, home to polar bears and caribou, and visit 1000-year-old Viking settlements. Another highlight is to sail through Disko Bay, world famous for it's immense icebergs and huge calving glaciers. If you prefer a bit more action, you might like to kayak through spectacular Tasermiut Fjord or go for a hike and enjoy traditional Kaffemilk with friendly Inuit locals in south Greenland.
Towards the end of the Arctic summer, when days begin to shorten, we have great oppurtunities to catch a glimpse of the northern lights, Aurora Borealis.

East Canada - Newfoundland & Labrador

Greenland is just the start of this great journey. We continue our voyage all the way down to Newfoundland & Labrador. This most eastern point of Canada is a place of incredible scenery with mountains rising up from the sea to over 1500m and rivers carving a path through the landscape. Along the remote and wild coasts of Eastern Canada we often see seals and whales. We might go ashore in one of the remote fishing villages that are hidden in this secluded region.
