Discover the best of Greenland as you sail from Reykjavik in Iceland to Greenland, home to vast calving glaciers, steep mountains and breathtaking fjords. Kayak past icebergs, hike through lush and varied flora and discover its rich history and culture. Visit small settlements, both ancient and modern, abandoned and alive, including Gardar cathedral and Hvalsey, the site of Greenland’s largest and best-preserved Norse ruins. Cruusing up the west coast you explore numerous fjords by zodiac, visit the charming Greenlandic capital of Nuuk, the town of Sisimiut and of course Ilulissat Icefjord.
