Itinerary

  1. 1

    Flight from Reykjavik to Nuuk, embarkation day in Nuuk

    Sun 19 Sep
    Gateway to the Greenlandic Arctic Flight from Reykjavik to Nuuk. Greenland’s compact capital is set along a deep fjord system framed by rugged mountains. Despite its small scale, the city is a vibrant centre of modern Greenlandic life. If time allows, you can explore the harbour, museums, and historic districts before embarkation. Nuuk is also where you start to feel the essence of the Arctic: ice, sea, and the mountainous peaks of Quassussuaq and Ukkusissat. Once on board, meet the Expedition Team, settle into your cabin, and we’ll begin the voyage north and west towards Baffin Island.
  2. 2

    A day at sea

    Mon 20 Sep
    Prepare for adventure as we head south While sailing towards South Greenland, you’ll have time to get acquainted with the AECO rules and recommendations regarding operations and landings in the fragile Arctic environment. Make sure you attend these fascinating and important presentations. You can also enjoy the state-of-the-art ship facilities and join the first lectures on topics such as ornithology, geology and culture. You’ll also learn about the Citizen Science projects we run on board the ship. The coast of Greenland is carved by many fjords. Depending on the conditions, in the afternoon we may be able to cruise deep into one of our favourites, Kuannersooq Fjord, as it’s known in Greenlandic, or Kvanefjord in Danish.
  3. 3

    Kujalleq and the Viking settlements

    Tue 21 Sep
    Greenlandic life at the edge of the ice cap South Greenland offers curious travellers an intriguing blend of Norse history, Inuit culture, and breathtaking landscapes. Here you can explore Viking settler ruins, and discover colourful small towns, marvelling at awe-inspiring fjords, mountains, glaciers and icebergs along the way. Combining rich cultural experiences with thrilling outdoor adventures, both history enthusiasts and nature lovers will be enraptured. Over the next two days, our possible destinations and landing sites include: Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site Qassiarsuk Brattahlíð (Qassiarsuk) Hvalsey Qaqortoq For more detailed information about each of these, along with our explorer's guide to the Northwest Passage and Arctic Canada, see our Travel Guide here.
  4. 4

    Relax at sea

    Thu 23 Sep
    Sailing to the gates of the Torngat Mountains After a few days of exploration, enjoy a day at sea and prepare for what lies ahead as we continue westward along the route of the Vikings, across Baffin Bay to the rugged coast of Labrador. Why not listen to another fascinating presentation from the Expedition Team, perhaps on biology, ornithology or history of the region. They’ll continue to entertain and educate with their series of lectures and demonstrations. There will be storytelling, art and craft workshops and perhaps even some singing. In September at this latitude, there may also be the opportunity to see the Northern Lights. If they appear in the middle of the night, be prepared for a gentle wake-up call!
  5. 5

    Northern Labrador

    Sat 25 Sep
    Witness the immense Torngat Mountains Welcome to Canada! After clearing customs, we’ll be joined by Park Rangers who’ll accompany us as we explore the Torngat Mountains National Park over the coming days. Meaning ‘place of spirits’ in Inuktitut, the national park spans some 6,000 miles, extending from Saglek Fjord to Labrador’s tip, and from the Atlantic coast to the Québec border. This wilderness is peppered with small glaciers and it’s home to polar bears and caribou. It also has rich Inuit heritage of hunting and fishing. While exploring this magnificent area, we hope to visit: Saglek Bay Nachvak Fiord Ramah For more detailed information about each of these, along with our explorer's guide to the Northwest Passage and Arctic Canada, see our Travel Guide here.
  6. 6

    The Labrador coast

    Tue 28 Sep
    Head back in time and delve into the history of Labrador Over the next five days, we’ll cruise south, unearthing the fascinating history of coastal Labrador and discovering its rich cultural heritage. This area is home to some of Labrador’s most important Moravian settlements, and a once busy fishing village that’s now a National Historic Site. There are also breathtaking waterways to transit and a whaling past to uncover. Over the next five days, our potential destinations may include: Hebron Mugford Tickle Hopedale Battle Harbour Red Bay For more detailed information about each of these, along with our explorer's guide to the Northwest Passage and Arctic Canada, see our Travel Guide here.

Over the next two days, we hope to visit: St Anthony UNESCO-listed L’Anse aux Meadows & Norstead Bonavista For more detailed information about each of these, along with our explorer's guide to the Northwest Passage and Arctic Canada, see our Travel Guide here .
  8. 8

    Reaching St John’s

    Tue 5 Oct
    End your adventure on a colourful note We say a fond farewell to our ship as we end our expedition in St John’s, Newfoundland’s capital. As one of the oldest cities in North America, St John’s is nothing but charming. Colourful houses are etched into the steep and rugged hillside along the coast, and Signal Hill with the proud Cabot Tower watches over the city from above. It’s well worth exploring the city further if you have time before your onward journey. Whatever your next steps are, you’ll take with you a wealth of memories that will no doubt endure, and experiences that will change the way you see the world.
