The only sign of human habitation in Prins Christianssund, Aappilattoq is a tiny Inuit village perched at the edge of the water dwarfed by towering mountains. Walk around the cluster of colourful houses and meet some of the residents who are living off the land, fishing and hunting in the harsh terrain.

Carving a breathtaking, naturally formed path separating the mainland from the islands of Cape Farewell, Prins Christianssund is one of Greenland's most scenic waterways. 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. Scenic Eclipse brings you close to the towering glaciers, huge icebergs and imposing peaks for unmissable photo opportunities. (B/L/D)
