Enjoy a relaxing day at sea as you make your way west towards Greenland. Perhaps ask your butler to bring breakfast to your suite, to be enjoyed as you watch the icy ocean slip by from your private verandah. Then explore some of the indulgent spaces on board, from the welcoming Observation Lounge to the indulgent Senses Spa# with its sauna and heated therapy lounge.

Join the experts from the Discovery Team for a lecture or talk about upcoming ports, then sit back with your favourite cocktail for an evening of entertainment in the state-of-the-art-theatre. (B/L/D)

Unlike the rest of Greenland, the Sermersooq municipality (where the Fridtjof Nansen peninsula is located) is smooth and unbroken terrain. Here, the magnificent Greenland Ice Sheet flows right to the shore. The peninsula gets its name from famed explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who launched his pioneering Greenland venture from Umivik Bay. This 1888 expedition confirmed that Greenland was completely covered in ice.

Over the next seven days in Greenland, countless adventures await, from exhilarating whale watching to thrilling kayak excursions and invigorating polar plunges, promising unforgettable experiences. (B/L/D)

Glaciers calving, rivers flowing, towering rock walls and colourful forests - the Skjoldungen Fjord is spectacular. Look up to admire huge crevasses and freestanding pillars of ice standing silhouetted against the blue Greenland sky. On the lower slopes, Arctic wildflowers will bloom amongst the dwarf birch and willow trees. Join the Discovery Team on the Observation Deck as nimble Scenic Eclipse weaves through numerous icebergs in this narrow channel and learn about the archaeological remains that have been found in this region, suggesting people lived here over 4,000 years ago.

Carving a breathtaking, naturally formed path that separates the mainland from the islands of Cape Farewell, Prince Christian Sound is one of Greenland's most scenic waterways and a highlight of any cruise in the region. Over a hundred kilometres in length, and flanked by magnificent glaciers and granite cliffs, this narrow passage is only accessible during summer, when the largest ice blockades melt away.

With her elegant design and state-of-the-art technology, Scenic Eclipse brings you closer to the towering glaciers, icebergs and imposing peaks for unmissable photo opportunities. (B/L/D)

Set on the southern tip of Greenland, Narsaq is a striking agricultural town located on the edge of a fjord. It's known for its lush farmland, hardy sheep, legacy of Greenlandic cowboys and intriguing Norse history. In the 1960s, a long house was unearthed here, and it is believed to be the very first place Erik the Red settled in Greenland in the 10th century. Visit the Narsaq Museum, set in historic buildings around the old harbour, to learn more about the area's rich heritage. (B/L/D)

Clinging to a jagged peninsula on the southwest coast of Greenland, Nuuk is the island's capital and largest city. The area has been inhabited since 2200BC, though the present town was only established in 1728. Colourful wooden buildings can be seen around the shore, while more modern apartment buildings house most of the city's 20,000 inhabitants. A guided tour through the picturesque Old Harbour reveals history and traditions that remain strong. Nuuk is also becoming known as a centre of modern Nordic culture, with edgy architecture inspired by the Northern Lights and innovative restaurants using local ingredients. (B/L/D)

Enjoy a slow day cruising through Evighed Fjord, or ‘Eternity Fjord', considered one of the most beautiful in Greenland. Stretching for more than 75 kilometres, you'll be awed by the endless fields of ice glittering under the sun. Tall, jagged peaks threaded with glaciers rise straight up out of the calm blue waters. Many of the glaciers are very active and you will likely hear chunks of ice calving away and collapsing loudly into the ocean. In Evighed Fjord, you'll feel the beauty and power of nature all around you. (B/L/D)

Spectacular days await as you cruise Disko Bay. Ilulissat is the main town on the bay, named from the Inuit word for ‘iceberg'. It's famous for the large number of icebergs breaking away from the nearby Ilulissat Icefjord, a World Heritage-listed site. The Icefjord is the mouth of the vast Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier, one of the world's fastest moving and most active glaciers, calving a remarkable 46 cubic kilometres of ice annually. Listen for the rumbling sounds in the distance as huge chunks of ice break from the glacier and tumble into the water below. (B/L/D)

After days of exploration, enjoy some much-needed relaxation as you cruise through the Kangerlussuaq Fjord today. Towering cliffs and serene waters create a mesmerising backdrop as you enjoy breakfast on your verandah or lunch at the relaxed Azure Bar & Café. Graze the day away and enjoy Scenic Eclipse's all-inclusive premium beverages to ensure you'll find something that suits your taste perfectly.

As this is your last full day on board, take some time for a dip in the temperature-controlled Vitality Pools, a treatment in the Senses Spa#, an aerial yoga class in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates studio or an exquisite tea in the Observation Lounge. (B/L/D)
