Enjoy access to some of the hardest to reach places on the planet on this incredible voyage. Greenland’s southern tip is an adventure seeker’s paradise, boasting the greatest variety of landscapes in the country, where sheltered waterways meet soaring mountains. Sail the icy waters of the rarely traversed southern coast before exploring the lush southern tip and immerse yourself in its landscape.
Explore Greenland’s fertile southern coast, nicknamed Arctic Patagonia, a region which perfectly designates itself to an ultra-adventurous Greenland experience.

Itinerary
- All voyage itineraries are intended as a guideline only – embracing the unexpected is part of the legacy of expedition travel. Actual routes and landings will be dependent on weather, sea and ice conditions. A degree of flexibility is essential in the polar regions!
- The below sample itinerary is based on the 13-day voyage on the Ultramarine. Other departures may vary in duration and routing, i.e. alternative embarkation or disembarkation ports, or do not include the pre-voyage hotel night. Please contact us for specific details.
Your adventure begins in Reykjavik, Iceland. Arrive at the Icelandic capital and make your own way to the hotel. You will have the rest of the day to explore and enjoy the city at your leisure.
This afternoon you will embark the ship to begin for Arctic adventure.
Sail across the Denmark Strait towards Greenland.
Explore the highlights of Southern Greenland. Many factors play a role in shaping the expedition’s itinerary, including sea, ice and weather conditions, but your Expedition Team will ensure you see as much as possible with regular shore landings and Zodiac cruises.
As stunning as the polar landscapes are from your ship, they’re even more striking from Zodiacs. Each day your expedition team will plan excursions deep in the southern fjords systems, which may also include a chance to dip a kayak in the water. Each activity provides a different way to experience the diverse, dramatic landscapes and rich Arctic wildlife on offer in the region.
Over the coming days you will discover the immense beauty of West Greenland. The west coast is home to Nuuk. Possible options include wandering through the historic Old Nuuk neighbourhood, visiting the Hans Egede Church and Hans Egede statue near the waterfront. Visit the Greenland National Museum & Archives to view the collections and exhibitions and to better understand Greenland’s cultural heritage.
Disembark in Nuuk where you will be transferred to the airport for your charter flight back to Reykjavik. Upon arrival you will be transferred to your hotel.
Make your way home at your leisure or spend some time exploring this artistic city.
