11 Night Cruise sailing from Kangerlussuaq to Reykjavik aboard Fram.

This is a voyage taking you through the highlights of Disko Bay and to the less visited southern parts of Greenland. En route you will visit traditional Inuit settlements and historic places from the Viking era, the capital of Greenland, Nuuk, and the impressive alpine landscape of the south.

DAY 1 Kangerlussuaq, Greenland

Embark in Kangerlussuaq, the main gateway to Greenland. The town is situated close to the majestic icecap that covers more than 80% of Greenland.

DAY 2 Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland

Qeqertarsuaq is situated on the old volcanic island of Disko. Witness the grounded icebergs as you take a stroll along the beach or join the highly-recommended walking tour to Blæsedalen.

DAY 3 Ilulissat, Greenland

Ilulissat means 'iceberg' in Greenlandic, and this town lives up to its name. The most productive glacier in the Northern Hemisphere, Sermeq Kujalleq, feeds enormous bergs into the Ilulissat Icefjord. As a result this area is on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites.

DAY 4 Sisimiut, Greenland

Sisimiut is the second largest community in Greenland. Here you'll find fishing trawlers, a shipyard and a busy fish processing factory. We recommend a visit to the arts and crafts workshop close to the pier. Here you may watch the local craftsmen create traditional jewellery and purchase local souvenirs.

DAY 5 Nuuk, Greenland

Nuuk is the capital and the oldest town in Greenland founded by the Norwegian missionary Hans Egede in 1728. Today old and new traditions meet here, from picturesque old buildings in "Kolonihaven" to the modern building of the Greenland Home Rule.

DAY 6 Ivittuut, Greenland

Ivittuut is an old abandoned mining village, once a production centre of cryolite. In summertime, however, some people return to inhabit the old houses by the sea.

DAY 7 Narsaq and Qassiarsuk, Greenland

Narsaq is located in a huge complex of fjords. The glaciers close by calve icebergs into the waters which are rich in seals, salmon, trout and minke whales. Qassiarsuk is known for the nearby settlement of Brattalid which was home to Erik the Red, Greenland's Viking founder in 982.

DAY 8 Hvalsey and Qaqortoq, Greenland

In Hvalsey some of the best preserved ruins from the Norse period are found including the former 'Austurbygd' which was abandoned in 1408. From here we continue to Qaqortoq, founded by the Norwegian trader Anders Olsen in 1775, and today home to 3,400 people.

DAY 9 Prins Christian Sund, Greenland

This 45km long channel-like sound is often full of icebergs and its impressive granite rock faces on each side create a spectacular transit. If the ice conditions do not allow us to transit, we round Nunap Isua (Cape Farewell) instead.

DAY 10 Denmark Strait

While crossing the Denmark Strait we take the reverse route of the great Norse settlers who left the shores of Iceland and Norway more than 900 years ago to travel to the "Green Land".

DAY 11 Grundarfjörður, Iceland

Grundarfjörður is also often called "Iceland in a nutshell" because of the diversity of its landscape; lava and rock formations, glaciers and volcanic activity, as well as a wealth of bird life and picturesque scenery.

DAY 12 Reykjavik, Iceland

The world's northernmost capital, Reykjavik is an exciting, vibrant city surrounded by incredible scenery. Here is where your voyage ends.
