Highlights of this cruise:

Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
Kangerlussuaq is a settlement in western Greenland located at the head of the fjord of the same name. It is Greenland’s main air transport hub and the site of Greenland’s largest commercial airport. Kangerlussuaq is surrounded by breathtaking scenery and wildlife. It is home to musk ox, reindeers, arctic foxes, falcons, eagles, ravens and some of the most power full northern lights during the winter. Kangerlussuaq has the easiest access to the inland ice of Greenland. You can easily get to the inland ice by car, bike, Icelandic horse or by foot. The distance from Kangerlussuaq to the inland ice is only 25 km.

Ilulissat, Greenland
Ilulissat is a town in the Qaasuitsup municipality in western Greenland, located approximately 200 km (120 mi) north of the Arctic Circle. It is the third-largest settlement in Greenland, after Nuuk and Sisimiut. The picturesque Ilulissat Icefjord has made Ilulissat Greenland’s most popular tourist destination and tourism is now the town’s principal industry. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004.

Uummannaq, Greenland
Umanaq is a town in the Qaasuitsup municipality, in northwestern Greenland, 590km north of the Arctic Circle. The island is a hunting and fishing base with a canning factory and a marble quarry. Umanaq is home to Uummannaq Mountain, which rises to 1170m. It is noted for its remarkable coloring that changes dramatically with the time of the day.

Qaanaaq, Greenland
Qaanaaq is the main town in the northern part of the Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland. It is a remote location which can be difficult to reach. Qaanaaq and the surrounding four villages are the perfect setting to experience Inuit culture and learn about this unique way of life. Sometimes, the locals will also organize traditional drum dances, kayaking lessons, and concerts where local choir singers perform in national costumes.

Cape York, Greenland
Cape York is located in northern Greenland.The rugged coastal environment at Cape York (Kap York) is rich in wildlife and is part of an extensive network of traditional hunting grounds. During the spring and summer months the skies and cliffs are dotted with millions of birds, primarily auks and murres. This district boasts the largest seabird population in northwest Greenland. Whalers and explorers often entered these waters and later Admiral Robert Peary’s family raised a monument in honour of his achievements on the cape. Sailors’ and ships’ logs record multiple climbs of the cape in order to survey the ice conditions in Qimusseriarsuaq. Hike the tundra landscape and enjoy magnificent vistas.

Smith Sound
Smith Sound is an uninhabited Arctic sea passage between Greenland and Canada’s northernmost island, Ellesmere Island. It links Baffin Bay with Kane Basin and forms part of the Nares Strait. The Sound was named by William Baffin after Sir Thomas Smythe, promoter of voyages to find a Northwest Passage. This fabled body of water served as the main route for explorers and adventurers searching for the North Pole. Adolphus Greely, Sir George Nares and Elisha Kent Kane all travelled these waters with varying degrees of success. Only 48-72km wide and 88km long, it is often packed with ice and provides favourable conditions for wildlife viewing.

Baffin Island, Canada
Baffin Island in the Canadian territory of Nunavut, is the largest island in Canada and the fifth largest island in the world. Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut, is located on the southeastern coast. Baffin Island has both year-round and summer visitor wildlife. On land, examples of year-round wildlife are Barren-ground Caribou, polar bear, Arctic Fox, Arctic Hare, lemming and Arctic Wolf. Summer land visitors to Baffin Island all have wings and all come to nest. Baffin Island is one of the major nesting destinations from the Eastern and Mid-West flyways for many species of migrating birds. The largest summer visitor to Baffin Island is the Bowhead Whale.

Devon Island, Canada
Devon Island is claimed to be the largest uninhabited island on Earth, is located in Baffin Bay, Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is one of the larger members of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, the second-largest of the Queen Elizabeth Islands, Canada’s sixth largest island, and the 27th largest island in the world. The island supports significant concentrations of wildlife, including 26 species of seabirds and 11 species of marine mammals. At Dundas Harbour visitors will find the lonely remains of an RCMP station dating from the 1920s. There are also spotted walrus, polar bear, muskox and caribou here. At nearby Croker Bay, this scenic bay offers the opportunity to and marvel at icebergs, freshly calved from the glacier at the head of the bay.

Sisimiut, Greenland
Sisimiut, formerly Holsteinsborg, is a town in central-western Greenland, located on the coast of Davis Strait, approximately 320 km (200 mi) north of Nuuk. It is situated 40 km north of the Arctic Circle, making it the northern most town in Greenland. Tourism is becoming increasingly important, with several outfitter companies based in town. Year-round operations offered include dogsledding, heliskiing, guided hiking, mountaineering, kayaking, and boating. The tough, 160 km (99 mi) long Arctic Circle Race takes place each winter. The Sisimiut Museum is housed in beautiful old colonial buildings; the town’s exhibitions and art shops give visitors an insight into the area’s history and the peoples that have inhabited this remote settlement for thousands of years.
