COMPLETE WEST GREENLAND
Kangerlussuaq - Nuuk
Experience
the best of Greenland on this thrilling itinerary, new for 2026!
From
the icebergs of Ilulissat, to the skyscrapers of Nuuk. From the
glaciers of Evighedsfjorden to the mountains of Uummannaq. From the
cosy hospitality of Itilleq to the otherworldly rock formations of
Kuannit, this voyage showcases the best that Greenland has to offer.
Embark
our state of the art vessel Ocean Albatros for a thrilling voyage
covering the highlights of Greenland's West Coast, beginning in the
airport town of Kangerlussuaq. Travelling by sea is without doubt the
best way to experience Greenland, where life has been governed by the
waves, ice and tides since time immemorial. From colourful coastal
villages to bustling miniature cities, glaciers and icebergs to fjords
and towering mountains, we combine the highlights of this magnificent
land into one epic voyage.
Even
in the larger towns we visit, Arctic nature is never far away. A few
minutes walk away from the colourful houses, visitors can find
themselves utterly alone, surrounded by wilderness - a rarity in our
busy modern world. Life in Greenland moves at a different pace,
following the rhythms of the sea, the tides and the midnight sun. The
local culture, architecture and lifestyle are all governed by the harsh
yet beautiful conditions of the Arctic. During the voyage, meet the
friendly locals of Greenland and discover more about their ancient
culture.
Our
adventure begins in Greenland's transport hub of Kangerlussuaq, before
visiting nearby Sisimiut, Greenland's bustling second city. From here
we venture northwards, to the sweeping basalt mountains and weird rock
formations of Qeqertarsuaq, and onwards to spend two days exploring
Uummannaq and is vast surrounding fjordlands. We then head southwards
into the heart of Disko Bay, witnessing the astounding spectacle of
Eqip Sermia Glacier, before arriving in Ilulissat, home of the UNESCO
World Heritage Site of Ilulissat Icefjord. From the icy waters of Disko
Bay, we will visit the small village of Itilleq, where visitors can
experience the hunting and fishing traditions by which locals still
thrive.
