This journey takes you deep into the vast and sculpted landscapes of West Greenland, travelling from Iceland’s capital to the ice-carved fjords and drifting bergs of the High Arctic. From Reykjavík, you fly to Nuuk to embark the state-of-the-art expedition vessel MS Fridtjof Nansen, purpose-built for exploration in polar waters.

Sailing north along Greenland’s dramatic coastline, you encounter the immense beauty of Ilulissat Icefjord, the intricate waterways of Uummannaq Fjord, and the ever-changing ice-strewn horizons of Disko Bay. Days are shaped by nature and conditions, with landings by small expedition boats, guided walks across tundra, and close observation of glaciers, wildlife, and remote settlements.

On board, you experience contemporary Scandinavian design, attentive service, and an expert expedition team providing insight into Arctic ecosystems, geology, and culture. Evenings are spent reflecting on the day’s discoveries as the ship navigates beneath lingering Arctic light.

The itinerary combines thoughtful exploration with comfort and access, allowing you to focus on Greenland’s vast scale, shifting ice, and the quiet rhythm of life along its western shores.
