Disko Bay to Uummannaq with M/S Balto

Experience an adventure in West Greenland with the unique 12-passenger ship M/S Balto! We begin our voyage in the Disko Bay area, known for its diverse and astonishing landscape, including unique geological formations, deep fjords, springs and caves, magnificent towering icebergs and impressive glacier faces. We continue up the stunning Vaigat strait and onwards to the breathtakingly beautiful fjords and areas north of Uummannaq. The rich waters are likely to introduce us to several whale species, such as humpback, minke or pilot whales, as we navigate in between enormous icebergs under the midnight sun.

Travelling with this small expedition ship in a group of merely 12 passengers offers a completely different and much more intimate experience of Greenland compared to a larger expedition ship. We get to visit remote settlements, meet the welcoming people living here, and, in a personal way, learn more about their fascinating culture. Also, the footprints we leave behind are a lot smaller!
