Cruise Overview

Greenland cruise | Grand Greenland – Mythical Lands of the North

Join an expedition cruise to northwest Greenland and explore the High Arctic environment of the legendary Thule region.

Visit some of the most northerly communities on Earth and learn about their history and culture.

Witness amazing scenery and Arctic wildlife, attend fascinating lectures and talks, and take part in our onboard science program.

This voyage begins and ends in Nuuk with flights from/to Reykjavík. An option to fly from/to Copenhagen instead can be seen here.

Icy waters of Disko Bay  

We set out north from Nuuk along the rugged and breathtaking coast of west Greenland. See immense icebergs from tidewater glaciers in Disko Bay, including Sermeq Kujalleq, the gigantic glacier at the head of UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord. As we sail, we’ll be on the lookout for whales. 

Thule High Arctic region 

Isolated even by Arctic standards, the inhabitants of the far north – known in legend by the name Thule – have for centuries been the northernmost communities on the planet. Expect High Arctic conditions, cold adapted wildlife, ice choked waters, and the coolest summer on Earth.
