Day 1 Reykjavik
Reykjavik is the world's northernmost capital, an unusually walkable city where colourful corrugated-iron houses line streets that lead between geothermal outdoor pools, the Hallgrímskirkja church, and the Harpa Concert Hall on the waterfront. The city is the base for Iceland's extraordinary natural experiences — the Northern Lights, the Golden Circle, and the Blue Lagoon all within easy reach.
Day 2 At Sea
Days 3 Scoresby Sund, Greenland
Scoresby Sund is the world's largest fjord system, a labyrinthine network of islands, fjords, and icebergs on Greenland's east coast named for the explorer who mapped it in 1822. The only settlement, Ittoqqortoormiit, supports a small Inuit population, while the surrounding wilderness holds musk oxen, Arctic foxes, walrus, narwhal, and one of the Arctic's richest concentrations of marine mammals.
Day 4 Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland
Ittoqqortoormiit, meaning Big House Dwellers, was founded in 1925 when around 70 Inuit were relocated from Ammassalik to this remote spot on the southern tip of Liverpool Land. Some 460 inhabitants make it one of Greenland's most isolated settlements, with access to the rest of the country only via Nerlerit Inaat Airport at Constable Point, 38 kilometres north. Hunting narwhals, seals, polar bears, and muskoxen remains an important part of life here.
Days 5-6 Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord
Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord carves deep into northeast Greenland within Northeast Greenland National Park, named after the Austro-Hungarian leader who funded its first European exploration. The fjord reaches inland for 120 miles and branches into one of Greenland's most expansive fjord systems, with towering mountains plunging into dark seas and coppery-red rock formations. Narwhals, beluga whales, and polar bears may be encountered in this remote wilderness.
Day 7 King Oscar Fjord
King Oscar Fjord is a major fjord system in eastern Greenland, 110 kilometres deep and up to 25 kilometres wide, named in 1899 by explorer A.G. Nathorst after Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway. The surrounding area supports arctic wildlife including lemmings, musk oxen, arctic hares, foxes, and ptarmigan, with wolves and polar bears seen more rarely. The fjord marks the border with the Scoresby Sund system.
Day 8 At Sea
Day 9 Tasiilaq, Greenland
Tasiilaq, the largest town on Greenland's east coast, is accessible only for three precious summer months when ice allows vessels into the Sermilik Fjord. The town's vivid colours, icebergs, Mittivakkat Glacier, and surrounding mountain wilderness make it one of the Arctic's most dramatic and isolated settlements — a destination that rewards the effort required to reach it.
Day 10 At Sea
