In the Wake of the Vikings
The Norse originally set sail from Iceland in search of plentiful farmland, and their search was rewarded in the beautiful and fertile fjords of Greenland. Follow Erik the Red’s original route to explore this seldom-seen coastline, visiting important archaeological sites and modern Greenlandic communities along the way.

Witness spectacular icebergs, glaciers, fjords, and mountains
Get up close to Greenland’s vast ice cap, which pushes huge rivers of glacial ice down to the sea through a myriad of stunning fjords.
Watch as the glaciers meet the ocean and the tide and temperature combine to break off icebergs, revealing unearthly colours in crystalline shapes.
This is a photographer’s paradise!

Visit a reconstructed Norse settlement
Walk amongst captivating history! Wander through BrattahlĂĂ°, said to have been Erik the Red’s former personal estate.
For four centuries, Norse wayfarers managed to make a living as sheep farmers in this rugged land, building farmhouses, churches, and other trappings of European life.

Immerse yourself in Greenland's Inuit and Scandinavian cultures
Enjoy the sights, tastes, and sounds of Greenland’s welcoming communities.
Notice the mix of Danish and Inuit cultural influences that is very evident in the country’s architecture, foods, languages, and more.
Stroll through charming villages of colourful wooden homes, often surrounded by suburbs of barking sled dogs and racks of kayaks standing by the shore.
Watch hunters and fishers coming and going with fresh seal, reindeer, or locally caught cod.

Follow the route of brave Norse explorers
Cross the Denmark Strait to see the sparsely populated, seldom-visited east coast of Greenland.
