On this voyage, we visit the remains of Thule camps, the ancestors of the indigenous people of Greenland, enjoy the splendour of Scoresbysund as the ship navigates past majestic icebergs, some over 100 metres high, and get a glimpse into the lifestyle of the remote residents of Ittoqqortoormiit, the most northerly community in East Greenland.  This tour also offers once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to hike some of the most pristine wilderness on the planet.Visit the remains of Thule camps and enjoy the splendour of Scoresbysund as the ship navigates past majestic icebergs

Land Only

Day 1 Start Reykjavik, Iceland.

Our adventure begins with an overnight stay in thoroughly-modern Reykjavik, the world’s northernmost capital city.

Day 2 Embarkation Day at Constable Point.

You’ll fly from Reykjavik to Constable Point to board your vessel and begin your expedition. Get ready for a great adventure ahead!

Day 3 Apelfjord.

You’ll cruise through breathtaking Apelfjord. Fjords punctuate the scenery all around. Your day will be spent exploring and Zodiac cruising through a multitude of dazzling icebergs, fjords and sounds in all shapes and sizes. Be on the lookout for Arctic fox and Musk ox, which roam free here.

Day 4 Brogetdal and Watershausen Glacier.

Multi-hued mountains surround lovely Brogetdal, which was originally called 'painted valley', and later translated to mean 'multicoloured valley'. You’ll view colourful vistas, and fascinating geology. Later, you’ll travel to the impressive and rarely visited Walte...

Day 5 Blomsterbugten and Renbugten.

Blomsterbugten, the 'Bay of Flowers', is home to beautiful purple and gold coloured rocks that we’ll explore in the distance, or on a hike for those who wish. Later we’ll continue to Renbugten, called 'Reindeer Bay' for the herd of 12 reindeer seen on one of the first expeditions to the area. Arctic hare are a common and delightful sight in this area.

Day 6 Ella Oya (Ella Island).

Ella Oya is a hiker’s paradise. The area is surrounded by ice-choked waters, rugged cliffs and sky-blue icebergs. Challenge yourself with a climb to the top of the Island - the views are worth it.

Day 7 Ittoqqortoormiit and Hall Bredning.

At the start of the sound, Itoqqortoormiit is East Greenland’s most northerly community and boasts a blend of traditional and modern lifestyles. With clear skies, you’ll have a great chance of seeing the Northern Lights. You can also support local Inuit artisans b...

Day 8 Frederiksdal and Sydkapp.

Sailing on, deeper into Scoresbysund you’ll encounter massive icebergs and an ancient Thule settlement as we approach Sydkap. The scenery here is unforgettable, with towering mountain sides and hundreds of monumental icebergs playing tricks with your sense of perception.

Day 9 Disembarkation at Constable Point.

Arrive at Constable Point. Sit back and enjoy your charter flight from Constable Point to Reykjavik, the vibrant and artistic capital of Iceland. Overnight in your comfortable Reykjavik hotel.

Day 10 End in Reykjavik

Make your own way to the airport for your return flight home, or spend some extra time in Reykjavik - you’ll be amazed at the variety of attractions and must-see places of interests Reykjavik has to offer.
