destination

Greenland, the world’s largest island, spans an astonishing 2.2 million square kilometers—four times the size of France, five times that of California, and a staggering 22 times larger than its closest eastern neighbor, Iceland. Over 80% of its surface is blanketed by the planet’s second-largest ice cap, shaping a dramatic landscape defined by towering fjords, jagged peaks, and vast valleys adorned with glaciers of every size and form.

Set sail along Greenland’s breathtaking west coast, where the vibrant village of Sisimiut welcomes you with its colorful charm. Witness the otherworldly spectacle of Ilulissat’s ice-choked Disko Bay, where towering icebergs drift silently in the Arctic waters. Paddle a kayak through the pristine fjords of Uummannaq, or chart a course across the legendary Davis Strait toward the rugged shores of Baffin Island.

Venture east to explore the awe-inspiring Scoresby Sund, Greenland’s largest fjord system, where sheer cliffs and floating ice create a landscape of surreal beauty. Visit the remote Inuit community of Ittoqqortoormiit, where traditions endure in one of the most isolated settlements on Earth.

Greenland is more than a destination—it’s an expedition into the raw and untouched wilderness. Join us for an unforgettable adventure into the heart of the Arctic.
