Cruise Overview

Greenland cruise | Grand Greenland – The Icy Giants of Disko Bay

Join an expedition cruise to Disko Bay, exploring Greenland’s wild western coast, including awe-inspiring mountains and the breathtaking Ilulissat Icefjord.

Experience the Midnight Sun and look out for whales while sailing past immense icebergs.

Take part in science projects and attend fascinating onboard lectures about everything from glaciology to mythology.

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

Epic natural beauty

We sail north from Nuuk through the cold blue waters of west Greenland. You’ll witness phenomenal scenery as we sail past icy mountains, into deep fjords and past jaw-dropping glaciers. As we reach Disko Bay, you’ll gaze at the immense icebergs and seemingly endless stretches of wilderness. The icing on the cake is the Ilulissat Icefjord, a natural wonder of aching beauty.  

Active adventure in Greenland

Discover a blend of the modern and traditional as we visit communities living on the edge of a frozen world and learn about the history and culture of Kalaallit Nunaat. Join the Expedition Team as they deliver a series of fascinating lectures and take you small boat cruising and on nature walks. The expedition element means we can be flexible and seek out the best places for wildlife and landings.
