Luxury Expedition Cruising 2020-2021

8-10 AUG: Scoresby Sound & Ittoqqortoormiit
village, Greenland
While crossing the Greenland Sea and cruising along the
Arctic ice edge, your expedition team prepares you for
the world’s largest island: Greenland. Arrive at its rarely
visited east coast by the Scoresby Sound, the largest fjord
system in the world, which is yours to explore for the next
three days. Embark on Zodiac excursions through the
fjord’s intricate network, taking in its islands and icebergs,
and searching for its animal residents, including the musk
ox and reindeer. Ice conditions permitting, disembark for
a visit to the small settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit – one of
the most isolated villages in Greenland.
