ITINERARY
Day
1. Embarkation in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
Following
your arrival in Kangerlussuaq, you will be transferred to the Sea
Spirit, your home-away-from-home for the next week.
Before
we depart, there’s time to explore the ship, unpack, and get
comfortable in anticipation of the extraordinary adventure to come.
We’ll then slip our moorings and sail along the picturesque
fjord.
Day
2-7: Exploration of Disko Bay
Though
settlements abound in this part of Greenland, unpredictable weather and
dearth of docking facilities nevertheless make this a real expedition.
As such, our route and exploration opportunities along this coast are
heavily dependent on the weather and ice conditions we encounter. Our
experienced captain and expedition leader decide the itinerary and
continually adjust plans as conditions and opportunities warrant. You
can be sure that the best possible advantage will be taken of the
circumstances presented to us by Nature in this wild and remote region.
Possible sites of exploration include:
Sisimiut –
The second-largest town in Greenland boasts a youthful, urban vibe and
is also is known for adventure sports, especially dog sledding. The
Sisimiut Museum offers insight into the local culture and a history of
human habitation dating back 4,500 years.
Qeqertarsuaq
– Located on volcanic Disko Island, the small town of
Qeqertarsuaq enjoys views of basaltic mountains and the huge icebergs
of Disko Bay. Founded in 1773 as a whaling station, Qeqertarsuaq is one
of the oldest towns in Greenland. Cultural attractions include a
distinctive octagonal church called the “Lord’s Ink
Pot”. Some hiking options are available in the area: a longer
hike to the basalt cliffs and a shorter one to the waterfall.
Eqip Sermia
– This active tidewater glacier is situated in a wild and
scenic fjord. In the period after the Second World War, this area
functioned as a starting point for expeditions onto the ice cap
conducted by the French explorer Paul Emile Victor, whose hut still
stands today.
Ilulissat
– Formerly called Jakobshavn, the town of Ilulissat is best
known for unbelievable quantities of icebergs issuing from the nearby
Ilulissat Icefjord, into which one of the world’s fastest
moving and most active glaciers calves 46 cubic kilometers of ice
annually. Attractions in town include the Inuit Art Museum, which
contains a large collection of paintings by Greenlandic, Faroese, and
Danish artists.
Day
8: Disembarkation in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
After
breakfast, we say farewell in Kangerlussuaq, the site of Greenland's
largest commercial airport.
Sea Spirit (Luxury Expedition, 114-guests)
The ice-strengthened small all-suite expedition ship Sea Spirit (originally Renaissance V) was built in 1991 in Italy. From that time she has changed several operators and regions of navigation, cruising in Singapore, Alaska, Pacific Basin, Arctic and Antarctica. The vessel was modified in late 2010. Providing spacious suites for accommodation of maximum of 114 passengers (the smallest suite is 20 sq. meters) the Sea Spirit at the same time features maneuverability and friendly atmosphere of small ships. All suites have private facilities and exterior views. Some of the suites feature private balconies for enjoying fantastic landscapes of the Arctic and Antarctica.
