Cruise and hike your way through Greenland’s ancient past at the UNESCO site Aasivissuit–Nipisat.

A journey through time 

Departing from Sisimiut aboard a nimble 12-passenger boat, you’ll cross Amarloq Fjord to reach Nipisat Island, part of the Aasivissuit–Nipisat UNESCO World Heritage Site.  

You’ll then join a guided hike through a windswept landscape once home to ancient hunters, missionaries, and whalers. Now dominated by nature and birdlife, explore the ruins of Greenland’s second colony, where centuries of history linger.
