Expedition overview & highlights

  • Sail aboard a state-of-the-art polar vessel through fjords, stunning, glacier-carved inlets dramatically backdropped by the Greenland Ice Cap
  • Kayak in scenic iceberg fjords, hike across pristine landscapes and Zodiac cruise along glacier fronts in search of Arctic wildlife
  • Discover Paleo-Eskimo and Thule archaeological sites which reveal the rich story of the ancient settlers who once thrived along King Frederick VI Coast
  • Visit historic bays where early explorers first set foot on Greenland, and keep a lookout for a newly studied and genetically unique population of polar bears.

Discover the true thrill of exploration as you navigate Southeast Greenland’s rugged coast, sailing through unchartered waters fed by the legendary ice cap. Each day brings the prospect of unforgettable experiences as your veteran captain and expedition team chart a course for remote fjords, glaciers, mountains and trails that few have yet to explore. Zodiac cruise and kayak among spectacular icebergs; hike into the wild backcountry to spot Arctic wildlife; and uncover the secrets of ancient Greenlandic cultures at fascinating archaeological sites nestled amid this untamed landscape.

Map & Cruise Itinerary

Arrive in Reykjavík, the world’s northernmost capital, which lies just below the Arctic Circle. Transfer from the airport and spend the day exploring the city’s sights, sounds and tastes on your own. Check in with the hospitality desk this afternoon, before embarking the ship.

Sail across the Denmark Strait, connecting the Arctic and Atlantic Ocean. The Strait is home to the world's largest waterfall, caused by powerful currents and glaciers. Listen to talks from experts, relax with a book in the lounge or on the observation deck and keep an eye out for whales as the ship travels across the continental shelf.

Spend the days exploring the coastal wilds of Southeast Greenland, a dynamic region known for its striking landscapes of towering peaks and active glaciers which connect to the Greenlandic Ice Sheet. The East Greenlandic current also spends much of the summer pushing icebergs down the coast from the North Pole. Experience a true sense of adventure as you discover unknown, wild areas aboard purpose-built ships designed to navigate even the most extreme conditions.

Take in stunning views from the Bridge of unexplored fjords like Skjoldungen, Lindenow and Timmiarmiut; Zodiac cruise along glaciers that continue to push out from the Ice Sheet; and hike into the backcountry with polar bear guards, keeping an eye out for the newly established resident population in this region. At archaeological sites along King Frederick VI Coast, gain insight into the Paleo-Inuit and Thule peoples who researchers believe inhabited the area between 2500-800 BC.

Spend a relaxing day at sea en route back to Iceland as you take advantage of the onboard amenities at your own pace. Join the ship’s officers on the Bridge and keep a watchful eye for migrating whales, attend an engaging presentation by naturalists and experts, or enjoy a wellness treatment at the spa.

Disembark in Reykjavík and transfer to the airport for flights home.

About the NG Resolution

LEX Ship NG Resolution Exterior

The NG Resolution is a modern polar expedition ship built to explore some of the most remote and ice-filled regions on Earth. Purpose-built for high-latitude travel, she combines advanced expedition capability with a calm, contemporary onboard atmosphere, making every voyage both adventurous and comfortable.

LEX Ship NG Resolution Exterior Observation Deck

Engineered for polar conditions, the ship features an ice-strengthened hull and advanced navigation systems that support confident operations in challenging environments. Expansive windows, open decks and well-designed observation areas ensure constant connection to the surrounding landscapes, whether cruising through pack ice or watching wildlife from on deck.

LEX Ship NG Resolution Interior Observation Lounge

Inside, warm, Scandinavian-inspired interiors create an inviting retreat after days spent ashore. Thoughtfully arranged public spaces encourage relaxation, learning and shared moments, while expert briefings and presentations deepen the sense of discovery, bringing guests closer to the places they explore aboard NG Resolution.

LEX Ship NG Resolution Interior Food

Dining on board the NG Resolution combines comfort and elegance, perfectly suited to the rhythm of expedition travel. Meals are freshly prepared and thoughtfully presented, with menus inspired by global flavours and seasonal ingredients, offering a balance of hearty dishes and lighter options to fuel active days. The focus is on quality, variety and nourishment rather than formality.

LEX Ship NG Resolution Interior Kitchen Galley

The ship’s dining areas offer a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where guests can gather to share meals and reflect on the day’s discoveries. Attentive service and flexible dining create an easy, sociable experience, while a selection of alcoholic beverages, including wines and spirits, is available to enjoy with dinner, completing a dining experience that feels warm, polished, and well-suited to life at sea.

LEX Ship NG Endurance Resolution Interior Yoga Studio

The NG Resolution is designed to help guests stay balanced and energised throughout the expedition. After active days ashore, the onboard facilities offer a calm, restorative environment to unwind, stretch and recharge while surrounded by ever-changing polar scenery.

LEX Ship NG Endurance Resolution Interior Fitness Center

The ship features a dedicated yoga studio and a well-equipped fitness centre, providing space for yoga sessions, stretching and light workouts at sea. Whether easing into the morning with gentle movement or loosening up after a day of exploration, these thoughtfully designed spaces support both physical well-being and overall comfort during the voyage.
