As you traverse this  itinerary, you'll discover the iconic Hallgrímskirkja church in Reykjavík, the breathtaking natural allure of Skjoldungen with its towering icebergs, and the colourful Nordic houses in the village of Aappilattoq.

Marvel at the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord - one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea -  and ponder the legacy of the abandoned mining town of Ivittuut. Throughout this sailing, immerse yourself in a variety of activities. Witness wondrous landscapes during a Zodiac cruise in Skjoldungen or indulge in kayaking amidst serene fjords.
