Set sail on Disko Bay, an 8-day Arctic voyage that takes you through West Greenland’s dramatic coast in summer — where massive icebergs drift in glacier-choked fjords, tundra gives way to basalt cliffs, and human stories echo in tiny villages.
You begin in Kangerlussuaq, piercing the Greenland interior, then move to the colourful town of Sisimiut — Arctic light bouncing off painted houses, culture alive with tradition and twists of modern life. Onward to Qeqertarsuaq (Disko Island), where black sand shores, lush slopes, and volcano-formed rock shape a landscape both rugged and alive. Hike above coves, explore waterfalls, and ride Zodiac boats through floating ice.
Then to Uummannaq, perched beneath its heart-shaped mountain, where quiet streets meet steep mountain walls and ancient Inuit heritage holds strong. Next, approach Eqip Sermia Glacier — its front spilling icebergs into silvery water, calving with power, glowing in the low sun. The world’s largest glacial spectacle outside Antarctica unfolds in Ilulissat, at the UNESCO-designated Icefjord, where ice dominates both scenery and soul.
Even when you walk small shorelines or visit remote settlements like Itilleq, the Arctic nature never lets you go. Ice, sea, sky — their rhythms guide every moment. As the voyage ends back in Kangerlussuaq, the light may fade, but the full weight of this wild land lingers in memory.
