14-Night Southern Greenland: On the Trail of the Vikings on Sylvia Earle

Experience the enormity of Greenland – the world's largest island – where jagged peaks pierce azure skies, and countless glaciers snake their way towards the coast. Delight in hikes across the tundra in search of arctic fox and reindeer, tasting delicious wild berries along the way. Zodiac-cruise along fjords where you might glimpse ringed seals lazing on sea ice calved from Greenland's enormous ice sheets—the largest in the Arctic, and perhaps encounter whales feeding in the nutrient-rich waters. Sail along Prince Christian Sound, flanked by imposing mountains. Green pastures in south Greenland signal the presence of human settlement, and the Viking ruins of Erik the Red still stand at Hvalsey. Weaving through the fjords and channels, we enter west Greenland, the country's most developed region, home to the nation's capital, Nuuk and the world's northernmost capital.
