The National Culture House preserves treasures like the Poetic Edda and the Norse Sagas in their original manuscripts.
Dinner included.
Day 2: At Sea
Set Sail like the Vikings
Watch for whales and seabirds as we sail the Denmark Strait.
You’ll be truly in the wake of the Vikings as we journey westward from Iceland.
The on-board learning program will prepare you for the archaeology, history, culture, and wildlife that await you in Greenland!
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Day 3: Sea Ice
Experience the Arctic's Icy Majesty
Spend the day sailing through sea ice, taking in the dramatic beauty of the Arctic. This is the perfect opportunity to get out on deck to search for Arctic wildlife and seabirds—who sometimes follow our ship’s course! As we make our way towards Greenland’s rugged shores, enjoy fascinating facts and insights from your expert expedition team, who will bring this remote region to life.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Day 4 to 6: Southeast Greenland
Witness Fjords, Icebergs, and Whales
Explore the remote reaches of southeast Greenland by ship, in Zodiacs, and on land.
Your first views of this seldom-visited region will reveal a stunning coastline traced with innumerable fjords and potentially dotted with pack ice.
Whether on foot, on shore, or on the ship, our expert expedition team will be by your side, sharing their extensive knowledge and insights. Join them out on deck to keep a keen eye out for iconic Arctic wildlife, including the polar bears, seals, and humpback whales. Learn from their expertise as they provide fascinating interpretation and help you gain a profound connection to the stunning landscapes we traverse.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Day 7: Ikerasassuaq (Prince Christian Sound)
Marvel at Mountains and Glaciers
Make the most of your time out on deck, as our experts scout for opportunities to go ashore along this breathtaking landscape.
Soak in the natural beauty of one of the world’s most majestic waterways, Ikerasassuaq (Prince Christian Sound), where the Irminger and Labrador Seas join through the islands of the Cape Farewell Archipelago.
Here, craggy mountain peaks tower over still waters fed by calving glaciers.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Day 8: Brattahlíð
Tour a Reconstructed Norse Settlement
Visit the fascinating Brattahlíð, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the most fertile region of Greenland. Wander through a reconstructed Norse church and Viking longhouse to fully immerse yourself in the Viking experience.
Once home to Viking explorer Erik the Red and his descendants until the 1400s, Brattahlíð is now managed by Greenlandic Inuit, who continue to work the sheep farms originally established by the Norse settlers.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Day 9 and 10: South Greenland
Explore Dramatic Landscapes
South Greenland lives up to its namesake; here, the land is fertile and agriculture thrives. Farms and vegetable husbandry contrast with the barren ice that covers so much of the country. This is a region where jagged mountains rise dramatically from green pastures, and sheep farms border the stunning ice fjords. The fjords here are nothing short of breathtaking, with their deep blue waters and towering cliffs creating an awe-inspiring backdrop for every adventure.
As we explore, whether by Zodiac or on foot, we’ll be surrounded by this remarkable landscape, where Norse history intersects with contemporary Greenlandic life. The fjords add an unparalleled sense of beauty and serenity to the journey, making every moment unforgettable.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Day 11: Sermersooq
Enjoy Birdwatching and Zodiac Cruising
Explore the Sermersooq region of Greenland by Zodiac or by foot, as landing conditions permit.
Here you’ll find a stunning myriad of mountain peaks, glaciers, and deep fjords, with records of human habitation that stretch back over 1,500 years.
Keep a look out for nattoralik (white-tailed eagles), seabirds, and marine mammals while you enjoy the lush vegetation of southwest Greenland.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Day 12 and 13: Nuuk
Visit Museums, Shops, and Cafés
Stop in at vibrant Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Visit the Greenland National Museum, one of the city’s many outstanding features, where the world-famous Qilakitsoq mummies rest.
The old harbour includes many buildings dating from Danish colonial days, while contemporary Nuuk is known for art, shopping, pubs, and cafés.
Here is where you will complete your journey. Transfer by Zodiac to shore, then ride to the airport by bus for your charter flight to Toronto, ON.

Price Assurance
At Eclipse Travel, our expert destination knowledge and decades of travel planning experience come at no extra cost to you. While many think booking through a tour operator is more expensive than planning a trip independently, that’s not the case. We’re paid by our travel partners—such as hotels, activity operators, and cruise providers—via commissions, not by our clients.
Our team negotiates the best rates for you and ensures you receive unbiased advice, with no preference for any particular supplier. In fact, where we secure higher commissions, we often pass the savings on to you, giving us a competitive price edge.
Additionally, we lock in exchange rates at the time of your deposit, ensuring no surprise costs when it’s time for final payment. You can rest easy knowing we’ll handle the details with our suppliers. The only exceptions are national park fee increases or fuel surcharges imposed after your booking, though these are rare.
Take advantage of our team’s expertise and let us help you plan the perfect holiday—hassle-free!
