Overview

This Ponant itinerary is your chance to embark on an 8-day expedition cruise to Greenland. In Kangerlussuaq, aboard Le Boréal, you will embark for an unforgettable journey in the heart of the most magnificent Arctic landscapes. After first calling at the steep cliffs where nest many birds in Evighedsfjorden, the fjord of Eternity, you will reach Sisimiut, Greenland's second largest city, a colourful port nestling between undulating hills.

The world of ice will open up to you during this cruise along the north-west coast of Greenland. You will cross Disko Bay for the first time to...read more reach the edges of the Eqi Glacier, an icy giant with crystalline reflections, and the Paul-Emile Victor research station. Disko Bay and the colourful villages of Uummannaq encircled by mountains and basalt formations will welcome you next with their majestic icebergs - some of the largest in the Northern Hemisphere.

This is the ideal opportunity for meeting the local population and learning about Greenland's Inuit culture. During your cruise and zodiac outings, you will have many opportunities to admire an abundant and varied marine fauna with seals and whales, not to mention the many species of seabirds. Itinerary is subject to change according to port authorizations and government regulations.

We are privileged guests in these remote lands where we are at the mercy of weather, ice, tidal and current conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each Ponant cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the AECO.

Fjords and Glaciers of Spitsbergen 0 , ACT, Australia, Jun 2023
Very enjoyable trip. We were able to see Polar Bears, Walrus, whales , seals and lots of birds. Captains and crews are all fantastic and change the course for the best landing. Our reservations with Global Journeys was great with Georgie.
