This extraordinary voyage takes you deep into the world’s largest fjord system, Scoresby Sund and into the untouched landscapes of Northeast Greenland National Park—the largest national park on Earth.

Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, the most remote settlement in Greenland, where Inuit traditions endure in an isolated yet resilient community. As you approach Iceland, marvel at the picturesque landscapes of Ísafjörður and the serene Vigur Island, a haven for seabirds. Sail through the stunning King Oscar Fjord, surrounded by imposing peaks, before returning to Iceland’s Westfjords, where the landscapes of Ísafjörður and the serene seabird haven of Vigur Island await.

Engage in a variety of activities to enrich your cruise experience. Attend insightful onboard lectures or perfect your photography skills with guidance from professionals.
