East Greenland Express

Day 1: Reykjavik

Your adventure begins with an overnight stay in thoroughly modern Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital city.

Day 2: Embarkation Day at Constable Point

You'll fly from Reykjavik to Constable Point to board your vessel and begin your expedition. Get ready for a great adventure ahead!

Day 3: Apelfjord

You'll cruise through breathtaking Apelfjord. Fjords punctuate the scenery all around. Your day will be spent exploring and Zodiac cruising through a multitude of dazzling icebergs, fjords and sounds in all shapes and sizes. Be on the lookout for Arctic fox and musk ox, which roam free here.

Day 4: Brogetdal and Waltershausen Glacier

Multi-hued mountains surround lovely Brogetdal, which was originally called "painted valley," and later translated to mean "multicoloured valley." You'll view colourful vistas, and fascinating geology. Later, you'll travel to the impressive and rarely visited Waltershausen Glacier, an imposing ice floe at the head of Nordfjord, named after German explorer Baron Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen, after his failed 1869 attempt to reach the North Pole via East Greenland.

Day 5: Blomsterbugten and Renbugten

Blomsterbugten, the 'Bay of Flowers', is home to beautiful purple and gold coloured rocks that you'll view from a distance, or on a hike for those who wish. Later you'll continue to Renbugten, called 'Reindeer Bay' for the herd of 12 reindeer seen on one of the first expeditions to the area. Arctic hare are a common and delightful sight in this area.

Day 6: Ella Oya

Ella Oya is a hiker's paradise. The area is surrounded by ice-choked waters, rugged cliffs and sky-blue icebergs. Challenge yourself with a climb to the top of the island, the views are worth it.

Day 7: Ittoqqortoormiit and Hall Bredning

At the start of the sound, Itoqqortoormiit is East Greenland's most northerly community and boasts a blend of traditional and modern lifestyles. With clear skies, you'll have a great opportunity to see the northern lights. You can also support local Inuit artisans by purchasing unique handicrafts. Your time here is spent bonding with the Inuit people and gaining an appreciation of their way of life. Later, you'll see huge icebergs - larger than football fields, taller than apartment buildings - crossing Hall Bredning, part of Scoresby Sund.

Day 8: Frederiksdal and Sydkap

Sailing on, deeper into Scoresby Sund you'll encounter massive icebergs and an ancient Thule settlement as you approach Sydkap. The scenery here is unforgettable, with towering mountainsides and hundreds of monumental icebergs playing tricks with your sense of perception.

Day 9: Disembarkation at Constable Point

Arrive at Constable Point and disembark the ship. Sit back and enjoy your charter flight from Constable Point to Reykjavik, the vibrant and artistic capital of Iceland. Overnight in your comfortable Reykjavik hotel.

Day 10: Depart Reykjavik

Make your own way to the airport for your return flight home, or spend some extra time in Reykjavik - you'll be amazed at the variety of attractions and must-see places of interests Reykjavik has to offer.
