Day 1: Depart from Reykjavik / Embark in Kulusuk

Today, take a charter flight from Reykjavik to Kulusuk. Embark the vessel s/v Rembrandt van Rijn in Kulusuk in the late afternoon.

Day 2-6: Fjords on the East Greenland Coast

Sailing northward along the East Greenland coast, enter several fjords, competing in great beauty, Ikerssuaq, Kangerlussuaq, Miki’s, Nansen and d’Auney’s, most of these with glacier fronts at the head. Any of these fjords offer a chance to see a polar bear.

Day 7: Rømer Fjord and Turner Sound

Rømer Fjord and Turner Sound give good opportunities to sail far inland, as they have no glacier front at the head and they are not clogged with glacier ice, providing hiking opportunities. From a ridge on the Manby Peninsula have a stunning view across the landscape.

Day 8: Scoresby Sund

Stewart ø is an important hunting station for the people from Scoresby Sund. It is a good area for narwals. There are also beautiful remains of Thule houses.

Day 9: Ittoqqortoormiit

Ittoqqortoormiit (about 400 inhabitants), at the northern entrance of the Scoresby Sund, is the only Greenlandic settlement of the area. Their nearest neighbors in West Greenland live about 800 km away.

Day 10: Jameson Land

A little way west of Kap Stewart land on the coast of Jameson Land, an undulating tundra landscape with good possibilities to see musk oxen.

Day 11: Disembark in Nerlerit Inaat / Return to Reykjavik

  • 1 Breakfast
Sail into the Hurry Inlet, where at the head of the fjord you land at the airfield of Nerlerit Inaat (Constable Pynt) and fly with chartered plane to Reykjavik.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
