Cruise Overview

Grand Greenland – Mythical Lands of the North (Flight from/to New York Included)

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.

Icy waters of Disko Bay

We head 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, which is known in legend by the name Thule, have been the northernmost communities on the planet for centuries. Expect High Arctic conditions, cold-adapted wildlife, ice-choked waters and the coolest summer on Earth.
