Set sail on the Greenland to Newfoundland: Mountains, Wildlife and Viking History, a 14-day expedition that carries you from the icy fjords of West Greenland, across the rugged Canadian High Arctic, and finally into the storied coasts of Newfoundland, this journey bridges the Arctic and boreal worlds in one extraordinary odyssey.
Your adventure begins in Reykjavik before a charter flight whisks you to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. From there, you’ll explore deep Arctic fjords and the thundering glaciers of Ilulissat Icefjord, where icebergs drift like silent giants under northern skies.
As the voyage unfolds, traverse the stillness of the Davis Strait into Nunavut’s wild landscapes, rich with Inuit heritage and tundra wildlife. Navigate into Labrador’s Torngat Mountains National Park, a wilderness cathedral of soaring peaks, ancestral lore, and Arctic wildlife set against mossy forest edges.
In Labrador, visit Nain, a close-knit Inuit community where local traditions come to life through storytelling, artistry, and the hum of cultural memory. Then, touch history at the Viking ruins of L’Anse aux Meadows, the only confirmed Norse site in North America, where the echoes of Leif Erikson’s voyages still linger in sod-roofed reconstructions.

Finally, arrive in St. John’s, Newfoundland, where Celtic-rooted hospitality welcomes you amid painted row houses and singing streets, a fitting, warm contrast to the polar chill.
This voyage is more than travel, it’s a sensory bridge between worlds: from iceberg-strewn Arctic waters to boreal woods alive with caribou, foxes, and falcons. Glacial spectacle and Viking saga intertwine, creating a journey as vast in nature as it is in history.
