Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Sail to Eqi — one of Greenland's most active calving glaciers — and witness colossal ice walls crashing into the sea in real time. This raw, thunderous spectacle is as close to the planet's ancient power as travel gets.
Paddle and hike the edge of the Ilulissat Icefjord — a UNESCO World Heritage Site fed by Greenland's most productive glacier. Icebergs the size of cathedrals drift silently past your kayak in an utterly primeval seascape.
Lift off by helicopter over Disko Bay and land on the vast, blinding white interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet — the world's second-largest ice body. Setting foot here is a once-in-a-lifetime act of planetary wonder.
Cross Disko Bay to the volcanic basalt shores of Disko Island, where geothermal hot springs bubble beside Arctic tundra roamed by reindeer and musk ox. This off-the-radar wilderness rewards the curious traveller.
Spend an intimate afternoon with a local Greenlandic family learning Inuit traditions — from dog sled handling to the preparation of mattak and dried Arctic char — then share a traditional meal. Rare, authentic and profoundly moving.
Explore Nanortalik's remarkable open-air museum — original 18th-century wooden buildings preserved on the harbour — then board a RIB for a high-speed iceberg safari into the surrounding fjords. History and raw nature, back to back.
