Set your course for the South Greenland Adventure: The Majestic Alpine Arctic, a 13- to 14-day Arctic voyage departing from Reykjavík or Nuuk, weaving through the soaring fjords, glaciers, and jagged peaks of southern Greenland. Imagine daily scenes that shift from lush Viking-era sheep farms nestled below dramatic ice-carved ridges to fjords illuminated by floating icebergs.

You’ll venture deep into the soul of South Greenland with unforgettable highlights like Heli Hiking and flightseeing over alpine landscapes that few ever see. Stand atop the Greenland Ice Sheet—the world’s second-largest mass of ice—and feel every moment of that surreal isolation.

This journey invites you to slow down and take it all in. Gentle camping with local hosts on the shores of Tasermiut Fjord, heartwarming community visits in villages like Igaliku or Qassiarsuk—part of the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage region, where Inuit and Viking histories merge—and Zodiac cruises through glassy waters bring culture and landscape together in perfect harmony.

Every detail, from the turquoise fjords to the Arctic silence, coaxes you toward a deeper connection with this wild corner of the world. Be ready for impromptu glacier encounters, magical light dancing from dawn to dusk, and landscapes that transform by the hour.
