Day by day

Day 1 : Fly Copenhagen/Reykjavik to Kangerlussuaq, Embarkation

On the first day, we board our charter flights from Copenhagen in Denmark or Reykjavik, Iceland to Kangerlussuaq Greenland.

We will be driven to the small port located west of Kangerlussuaq Airport, where we can find the Expedition Ship. Zodiacs will take you to your boat room after check-in. After the safety drill, enjoy a tasty meal and breathtaking views. The Kangerlussuaq Fjord is 160 km long.

Day 2 : Nuuk, Greenland

Nuuk is a city of contradictions. It has both wooden houses and skyscrapers. The city is a mixture of old and modern, charming and contemporary. Nuuk, the capital of Greenland is a vibrant city. The city is much larger than the 19,000 people who live there, and offers a wide range of attractions for visitors. Ancient hunters followed migrating animals in the tranquil fjords that surround Nuuk. This area was inhabited by Paleo Inuits at least as early as 2200 BCE, according to archaeological evidence. Icelandic Norse settlers established Nuuk Fjord's Western Settlement in the first 100 years CE. The settlers vanished mysteriously several hundred years later. Hans Egede was the next Scandinavian to visit this area. It was a Danish missionary who'rediscovered Greenland,' founded Nuuk as Godthab in 1728. Nuuk was greatly affected by Danish modernisation efforts in Greenland, which took place during the 1950s. Nuuk's infrastructure has been significantly upgraded, yet the city is a testament to rapid urbanisation.

Nuuk offers a lot to its visitors. The largest city in Greenland, it has many of the most famous attractions. It is the largest Greenlandic National Museum and contains a wealth of Greenland history, dating back as far as Greenland’s first inhabitants. The museum contains artifacts from the Paleo Inuit, Norse and Viking eras as well as the Qilakistoq mummies. Learn about Greenlandic Culture by visiting the Katuaq architectural marvel. In the shops of this district, you can find Greenlandic artwork. Relax in an urban curbside café with a Greenlandic coffee and watch the lively activity of this vibrant city. Nuuk York is a unique city that locals call their own. It's unlike anywhere in Greenland, or even on Earth.
