Greenland's Remote and Wild Coast

Exploring the spectacular landscapes and isolated communities around Scoresby Sund and North East Greenland.

11-day Voyage

Cross the waters of the Denmark Strait, journeying
towards a land of towering ice giants, before returning to the wildlife havens of Iceland’s western fjords.

Day 1 Reykjavik (Iceland)

Embark the MS Fram in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.

Day 2 Denmark Strait

Sail the Denmark Strait bound for Greenland, watch out for humpback and minke whales.

Day 3 Ammassalik

Call at Ammassalik, a remote community and the first
trading post in East Greenland.

Day 4-8 Kangerlussuaq Fjord

The itinerary over the next few days depends on local
weather and ice conditions and we hope to visit Kangerlussuaq Fjord, home to impressive glaciers and remains of the Thule culture; Mikis Fjord surrounded by steep cliffs and Nansen Fjord with its abundance of beautifully sculpted icebergs. Scoresby Sund is the largest fjord in the world.

Huge icebergs are set to a backdrop of spectacular mountains and tundra. The only permanent settlement in this area is Ittoqqortoormiit, in this isolated community people still depend on hunting for their livelihood.

Continue further north towards North East Greenland National Park, a very rarely visited area of magnificent beauty. Scientific expeditions, hunters and whalers have left their mark here.

Days 9-10 Isafjördur

Cross the Denmark Strait and continue to Iceland’s western fjords, an area of cascading waterfalls and a vast amount of nesting birds where you stop at charming Isafjördur.

Day 11 Reykjavik

Back in Reykjavik is where your exciting voyage ends.
