Reykjavík
Day 1
Reykjavík
Reykjavík is full of art, culture, and history. It is definitely worth discovering, either before or after your cruise to Greenland.
Stroll along Laugavegur, filled with boutiques and outdoor shops. Then head to the architecturally striking Hallgrímskirkja
church or the fascinating Reykjavík Art Museum. Why not book a Pre-Program with us? That way, you can discover the nearby waterfalls, hot springs, geysers, and national parks.
MS Fram awaits you at Reykjavík Harbor. Your adventure has begun.
At Sea

At Sea
Today we sail to Greenland across the Denmark Strait.
Your Expedition Team will explain the protocols of visiting wildlife habitats and how to respectfully interact with the indigenous Arctic communities. In the Science Center, learn more about Greenland’s geology, or join one of our Citizen Science projects. Why not hit the gym? You can also just relax in the panoramic sauna before enjoying a delicious meal in one of our onboard restaurants.
Scoresby Sund fjord system
Day 3-11
Scoresby Sund fjord system
You will spend the next nine days exploring the vast wilderness of Scoresby Sund, the world’s largest fjord system.
Cruising peacefully against a backdrop of looming mountains, blue icebergs, and mirror-like waters, you’ll seek out wildlife like whales and Greenlandic gyrfalcons. We will make the most of current conditions and pack in as many shore landings, nature walks, kayaking tours, and wildlife sightings as possible.
Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, the most remote inhabited community in the Western Hemisphere. Conditions permitting, we’ll sail towards the ever-changing eastern ice edge of the Greenland Sea to scout for wildlife.
If you want to do your part, participate in Citizen Science projects that help preserve the region for future generations.
Denmark Strait
Day 12
Denmark Strait
After exploring the remote beauty of Greenland, we’ll set our course back to Iceland. Spend the days at sea recapping your experiences with your new friends, studying nature in the Science Center, listening to a lecture or two, or just relaxing on deck. Look out for the seabirds that follow our ship and keep an eye out for whales.
Greenland’s beauty is sure to have left its mark on you, so reflect on what you’ve seen—from witnessing the delicate ecology of the fjord systems to the ethereal elegance of the floating ice.
