ITINERARY
DAY 1 Reykjavik, Iceland
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
Watershausen Glacier
Multi-hued mountains surround lovely Brogetdal, which was originally
called “painted valley”, and later translated to
mean “multicolored valley”. You’ll view
colorful 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 colored rocks that we’ll explore in
the distance, or on a hike for those who wish. Later we’ll
continue to Renbugten, called “Reindeer Bay” for
the herd of 12 reindeer seen on one of the first expeditions to the
area. Artic hare are a common and delightful sight in this area.
DAY 6 Ella Oya (Ella
Island)
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. Our time
here is spent bonding with the Inuit people and gaining an appreciation
of their way of life. Later, we’ll see huge icebergs - larger
than football fields, taller than apartment buildings - crossing Hall
Bredning, part of Scoresbysund.
DAY 8 Frederiksdal and
Sydkapp
Sailing on, deeper into Scoresbysund you’ll encounter massive
icebergs and an ancient Thule settlement as we approach Sydkap. The
scenery here is unforgettable, with towering mountain sides and
hundreds of monumental icebergs playing tricks with your sense of
perception.
DAY 9 Disembarkation at
Constable Point
Arrive at Constable Point. 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

to offer.
