Itinerary and Pricing

Day 1: Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
Cross the Arctic Circle

Begin your journey by sailing out of Kangerlussuaq Fjord (Søndre Strømfjord), a 190-kilometre-long fjord surrounded by mountains and glaciers.

Cross the Arctic Circle on your way and spend time on deck watching for aurora borealis.

Kangerlussuaq, the settlement at the head of the fjord, is a former US Air Force base.

After your charter flight from Toronto, ON, you’ll transfer to the ship by Zodiac.

Day 2: Kangerlussuatsiaq Fjord (Evighedsfjorden)
Take a Zodiac Cruise at the Foot of a Glacier

Kangerlussuatsiaq means “the rather big fjord” in Greenlandic, while the Danish name Evighedsfjorden translates to “the fjord of eternity,” underscoring its vastness and seemingly never-ending nature.

See why Kangerlussuatsiaq Fjord lives up to its name and marvel at this complex coastal waterway that includes calving glaciers, sheer bird cliffs, and streams cascading against a towering mountain backdrop.

Explore this sublime glacial landscape by ship and by Zodiac.

The waters here are relatively warm, due to the West Greenland Current and the subarctic location.

Day 3: Nuuk
Visit Museums, Shops, and Cafés

Stop in at vibrant Nuuk, the capital of Greenland.

Visit the Greenland National Museum, one of the city’s many outstanding features, where the world-famous Qilakitsoq mummies rest.

The old harbour includes many buildings dating from Danish colonial days, while contemporary Nuuk is known for art, shopping, pubs, and cafés.

Day 4: At Sea — Davis Strait
Learn From Inuit in Their Homeland

Deepen your understanding of the environment, cultures, and history of the region as we sail across the Davis Strait towards Labrador. Get the privileged opportunity to engage with and learn from Inuit in their homeland.

Enjoy workshops and presentations, watch a documentary, and get out on deck! Try your hand at athletic feats during an interactive cultural performance of Inuit games.

Through shared experiences and interactions, develop a deep appreciation for the culture and gain a connection to the stunning landscapes we traverse.

Keep your binoculars ready to spot whales and seabirds who follow in our wake.

Day 5-8: Torngat Mountain Range, NL, Canada
Hike the Mountainous Tundra and Spot Wildlife

Spend time exploring an area of treeless, mountainous tundra in Torngat Mountains National Park, where some of Canada’s highest peaks east of the Rockies are found.

Enjoy your time hiking, visiting archaeological sites, and Zodiac cruising. Here, Inuit of Nunatsiavut will be your guides in their spiritual homeland.

Inuit of Nunavik and Nunatsiavut play a key role as partners in the management of Torngat Mountains National Park, and many see the park as a portal for better understanding of Inuit culture.

The word Torngat is derived from the Inuttut word tongait, meaning “place of spirits,” where Inuit shamans travelled to connect with higher powers. It is not hard, even for a visitor, to feel the power of the place.

Marvel at the gorgeous fjords, landscapes ablaze with autumn colours, and wonderful wildlife sighting opportunities, including the possibility of both polar and black bears.

Day 9: Hebron
Ponder Poignant History

Step back in time to the historical site of Hebron, which preserves a Moravian Mission station dating from the 1830s.

Call in at the old church, where Inuit who resided here in 1959 learned of their forced relocation.

Take a moment to let history sink in and read the plaque that commemorates this history and the apology to people affected by the relocations, issued by the government of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2005.

Listen to the stories shared by our guides and meet former Hebron residents and their kin who continue to visit the site and to hunt and fish nearby.

Day 10: Nunatsiavut
Experience a Nunatsiavut Community

Visit an Inuit community in northern Labrador, where daily life is deeply intertwined with the land and sea. Much of the food is harvested from the wild, and the hills and barrens are essential to the Inuit lifestyle and spirit. Char, seals, ducks, partridge (ptarmigan), and wild berries—all affectionately known as “country food”—are not only staples of their diet but also represent “joy.” And the act of gathering them? That’s “double joy.”

The bounty of land and sea also finds its way into stunning arts and crafts, which you’ll likely have a chance to admire—and perhaps even purchase—during your wander. Stroll the streets and chat with locals.

Step into one of the historic churches and uncover the Moravian history of this coastline. This missionary sect from Bohemia and Moravia, now part of the Czech Republic, arrived in Labrador in the 1750s and established their first mission in 1771. Though their work ceased in the early 1900s, they left an indelible mark on the communities of Nunatsiavut.

Day 11–12: The Labrador Coast
Enjoy Hiking and Zodiac Cruises

As we continue south the rugged peaks of the North give way to rolling, forested hills and tranquil inlets. Hundreds of rocky islets interrupt the open Labrador Sea, offering some shelter for vibrant Inuit communities where traditions endure and stories flow with the tides.

The modern-day cultural mix of this area makes for a rich blend of stories about both different and shared values, resilience, and the universal love of the land and sea.

Conditions allowing, we'll embark on expedition landings and Zodiac cruises led by our expedition team. Their expert guidance ensures both your safety and a deeper appreciation of the coastal barrens, boreal forests, wetlands, and rugged shorelines of this remarkable region.

Come with an open heart, leave with a new understanding of these magnificent Labrador shores.

Day 13: L'Anse aux Meadows
Immerse Yourself in Viking Archaeology

Wander through the reconstructed Viking habitation at L’Anse aux Meadows, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only authenticated Norse settlement in North America.

Learn more about the archaeological remains that date to approximately 1000 CE, and how—amazingly—the site was first found here in 1960 by a close reading of the Viking sagas.

Be sure to visit the superb interpretation centre and meet the actors in period costumes as you make your way through the reconstructed Norse-style sod buildings. This is a must-see for any visitor to Newfoundland and Labrador!

Day 14: Northeast Newfoundland
Experience Newfoundland’s Legendary Charm

The northeast coast of Newfoundland is known for the dozens of picturesque villages that dot its rocky shores, and we’ll find harbour in one of these unique communities. We look forward to a characteristically warm Newfoundland welcome upon our arrival. Photographers will have their work cut out for them capturing the special charm of classic island architecture.

Day 15: St. John’s, NL, Canada
Wave a Fond Farewell

Welcome to St. John’s—the vibrant capital of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Complete your journey by sailing into historic St. John’s harbour, looking out for Signal Hill as you enter the world-famous Narrows.

Photograph the charming houses of the Battery, always a hit with shutterbugs.

Say your farewells in this cultural hotspot and what is sometimes called North America's oldest city.
