Detailed Itinerary
Nuuk (Godthab), Greenland
In the bustling capital city of Greenland, you could be forgiven for forgetting you are in such a vast and isolated country. Nuuk is Greenland's economic and social hub, home to more than a third of Greenland's population, and although it feels like a world capital, scratch the surface, and a uniquely Greenlandic character can be found underneath. Nuuk Cathedral overlooks the gorgeous old Colonial Harbour district and the Greenland National Museum, resting place of the legendary Qilakitsoq mummies, the true highlight of the museum's archaeological collection. Above the Colonial Harbour sits downtown Nuuk, with lines of Scandistyle apartments, a bustling shopping district, the Greenlandic Parliament, Nuuk City Hall (which welcomes visitors to see its artwork), and even outdoor cafes selling locally produced food and beer. These nods to modernity compete for space with local artisan boutiques, the meat market selling the catch from Nuuk's vast fjord-lands, and the stunning Katuaq Cultural Centre, where blockbuster movies, as well as local and foreign performers, entertain the people of Nuuk. Although Nuuk has long been a melting pot of Danish and Greenlandic ideas, this is a city where Greenland displays its sophistication, with the Country's only traffic lights, roundabouts, and University. Most of all, expect to find a multitude of friendly people who are proud of who they are, and equally proud of the city they call home.
Maniitsoq, Greenland
Located in the central part of Greenland’s western coast, Maniitsoq is Greenland’s sixth-largest town, and home to less than 2,700 inhabitants. The main attractions are the small museum and old cemetery at the northern end of town. At the community hall local artists and artisans usually exhibit some of their carvings and beadwork. The beadwork pieces are not created just as souvenirs for visitors - the national dress of the West-Greenlandic women uses an elaborately beaded collar. Fishing trips and even heli-skiing on nearby mountains are considered Maniitsoq’s other assets. Its local name (meaning "place of rugged terrain") contrasts somewhat with the name given by the Danish in 1782 ("New Sugarloaf").

VIEW
Kuannit Point, Greenland
Experience the lush beauty of Kuannit Point, looking out over a bay scattered with city-block-sized icebergs, breaching whales and swooping seabirds. To the north of Disko Bay, you’ll find Disko Island and Kuannit Point, a fertile coastline of incredible basalt formations. Hiking trails thread along verdant emerald-green shores, revealing fantastic viewpoints for whale watching. Majestic glaciers like Eqip Sermia spill into the bay, seeding the scattered sea ice. Disko Island is geologically younger than Greenland’s mainland and it was formed by the powers of relatively recent volcanic eruptions and lava flows. This geothermal activity molded the coastline’s extraordinary volcanic features. Team-led hikes reach dark black sand beaches and stunning basalt columns that descend into the still waters of the bay like grand organ pipes. Swooping from burrows among the intricate coastal scenery, seabirds fill the air, alongside the musky scent of angelica - the abundant herb that gives Kuannit Point its Greenlandic name. You’ll also notice a local soccer ground, which sits incongruously beside the waters of Disko Bay; stately icebergs forming a monumental backdrop. Discover the wonders of Kuannit Point with Silversea’s expedition team, who are with you every step of the way, sharing insights and local knowledge. Zodiac cruises, kayak explorations and shore landings reveal the full volcanic glory of this fertile land and bay of congregating humpbacks.

Itilleq, Disko Island , Greenland
Land on an under-explored part of one of Greenland’s most fascinating islands. To the southwest of Disko Island, Itilleq is a breathtaking landing site, tempting explorers with an array of extraordinary geological features. Separate from the small coastal settlement of Itilleq, nearly 200 miles south of here, Disko Island’s Itilleq is a truly remote place to explore. Researchers visit to study the beach ridges, rising from the unexpectedly green shore, shaped by centuries of glacial activity and erosion. This beach offers an easy landing before the amazing isostatic terraces. Encounter basaltic cliffs and formations, which demonstrate this volcanic island’s creative geothermal forces. Inland, discover truly spectacular waterfalls and canyons carved through basaltic columns. Crunch along hiking trails that reveal panoramic vistas of the emerald-painted wilderness. You’ll be rewarded with views from elevated ridgelines and dramatic cliff tops - promising a sweeping overview of Disko Bay’s icy waters, where drifting icebergs speckle the horizon. Additional waterfalls thunder inland, their meltwater tumbling over dark rock. Adventure onto one of Greenland’s most remote locations, landing at this seldom-visited site with Silversea’s expert team, who will share their knowledge and insights throughout.

Eqip Sermia Glacier, Greenland
Scattering chunks of sea ice like confetti, Eqip Sermia Glacier’s 2-mile-wide wall of ice is alive with thrilling activity. Known as the Calving Glacier, this immense formation towers up to 550 feet above the surface. Cracks and rumbles echo through the air from Eqip Sermia Glacier, one of the most active in the Northern Hemisphere. Enjoy the show, as dramatic collapses send mini-icebergs tumbling across the surface and the ship rolls gently on the ensuing waves. Explore this incredible glacier up close, immersed in pure silence, with only the calls of seabirds and the murmurings of the ice breaking the quiet. Eqip Sermia Glacier is retreating quickly, and this rapid movement drives the frequency of its calving events. Found at the terminus of Eqi Fjord, the compacted flow of ancient ice mass spills down through black and white mountains from its roots in the Greenland Ice Sheet - the second-largest body of ice in the world after Antarctica, covering 80% of the island. The deep blues and turquoise hues are caused by centuries of compression. Icy sculptures from Eqip Sermia Glacier and nearby Jakobshavn Glacier and Kangilerngata Sermia Glacier drift toward Disko Bay, where fin, humpback, and minke whales breach and roll through the lively waters.

Ilulissat, Greenland
Known as the birthplace of icebergs, the Ilulissat Icefjord produces nearly 20 million tons of ice each day. In fact, the word Ilulissat means “icebergs” in the Kalaallisut language. The town of Ilulissat is known for its long periods of calm and settled weather, but the climate tends to be cold due to its proximity to the fjord. Approximately 4,500 people live in Ilulissat, the third-largest town in Greenland after Nuuk and Sisimiut. Some people here estimate that there are nearly as many sled dogs as human beings living in the town that also boasts a local history museum located in the former home of Greenlandic folk hero and famed polar explorer Knud Rasmussen.

Sisimiut, Greenland
Sisimiut ("The People of the Fox Holes") is Greenland's second city, the largest Arctic City in North America, and a hub between the warmer South and the frozen North of the country. With a young, dynamic population, including students from all over the country, Sisimiut is one of the fastest-growing cities in Greenland. Inhabited for more than four and a half thousand years, the Danish Colonial Era saw the rapid development of the city into a trade center, and the old buildings and artifacts can be seen at Sisimiut Museum, a collection of beautifully restored buildings displaying everything from ancient turf houses to modern Inuit art. The local artisans are considered some of the best in Greenland and often sell their wares direct from their communal workshop in the harbor, where they barter with hunters for raw materials. Today, modern industry focuses on processing seafood and shipping; KNI, the state-run chain of general stores operating in even the most remote settlements is based in Sisimiut. Most residents still live in the colorful wooden houses Greenland is so well known for. Sisimiut's vast backcountry offers excellent opportunities for hiking and fishing, and the locals often use sled dogs or snowmobiles to get around their vast mountainous playground during the long winters. In the summer, one can walk as far as Kangerlussuaq International Airport, a trail also used for the grueling Polar Circle Marathon, one of the toughest endurance events in the world.

Amerloq Fjord, Greenland
Sail into Amerloq Fjord, an evocative waterway, immersed in a protected landscape of soaring mountains, arctic wilderness, and deep fjords. Located in western Greenland’s Qeqqata municipality, this scenic fjord lies above the Arctic Circle, with its waters flowing out into the Davis Strait. Along the rocky shores, hiking trails meander by the water’s edge, and whales can occasionally be spotted in the calm waters. Huddled over the fjord’s entrance is the cheerily painted town of Sisimiut, Greenland's second-biggest settlement. While cruising along 25 miles of fjord waters, you’ll also encounter Assaqutaq - a ghostly village that was abandoned and left to ruin in 1970. Some of the fading wooden buildings have recently had new life breathed into them for educational purposes. Sail the calm waters to reach Sarfannguit, a beautiful fishing village consisting of an assortment of small wooden houses popping with bright colors against the moody landscape. Located on an island between two fjords, Sarfannguit forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, designated in 2018 to preserve the cultural and historical legacy of the Inuit. For more than 4,200 years, the Inuit have hunted and fished in these landscapes, maintaining a deep connection to the land and sea. Today, you can visit the approximately 100 residents who live in Sarfannguit to learn of their heritage, as the barks of their excited sled dogs echo over the waters.

Evighedsfjord, Greenland
Evighedsfjord (Eternity Fjord) is a large fjord northeast of Kangaamiut in southwest Greenland. The fjord has a length of 75 kilometers and several branches with numerous glaciers coming down from the Maniitsoq Ice Cap to the north can be seen. The Evighedsfjord has several bends and whenever the ship reaches the supposed end the fjord continues in another direction and seems to go on forever. Qingua Kujatdleq Glacier is at its southeastern end. At the northwestern end, a U-shaped valley has seven glaciers coming down from the mountains but not reaching the water. The glaciers had their maximum extent around the year 1870 and have gone through several cycles of advance and retreat. The mountains on either side of the fjord can reach in excess of 2,000 meters and the fjord has a depth of up to 700 meters. Evighedsfjord’s snowline is at 1,100 meters and the Evighedsfjord region is famous as one of Greenland’s best heli-skiing areas.

Hvalsey, Greenland
18 kilometers northeast of Qaqortoq, Hvalsey is part of Qaqortukulooq, one of the five sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Arctic farming complex Kujataa. Between Eriksfjord to the north and Einarsfjord to the south, the Hvalseyfjord branches off from Einarsfjord. Although Hvalsey is better known for the well-preserved ruins of one of the sixteen churches in the Norse’s Eastern Settlement, the church was in a farmstead known as Thjodhild’s Stead. This farmstead at the northeastern end of the fjord included a large building with living quarters, a hall, and livestock pens, as well as other livestock pens, a storage building, and a warehouse - the ruins of which can still be seen. The Norse farming laid the foundation for the Inuit farming in later centuries, leading to the UNESCO World Heritage status in 2017. In the 14th century account “Descriptions of Greenland” the abundant fish, a reindeer farm on Reindeer Island, and Hvalsey’s name “Whale Island” clearly indicate that the Norse had ample food sources at that time. The church was built in the Anglo-Norwegian style of the 13th century, but is known to have been built over an older graveyard. The farmstead is mentioned in the Icelandic “Book of Settlements” as property of the Kings of Norway, and the last documented event of the Norse in Greenland is a wedding, which took place in the church in September 1408. After almost 600 years of abandonment, conservation work had to be done to prevent the seaward wall from collapsing.

Tassermiut Fjord, Greenland
Considered one of the Ten Wonders of the Arctic, Tassermiut Fjord is a 70-kilometer (44-mile) incision into the pristine wilderness of southwestern Greenland. The fjord is entered near the settlement of Nanortalik (population 1,200) and winds its way through scenery that is reminiscent of the dramatic mountain landscape of Patagonia.
Cruising up the fjord by ship reveals a spectacular panorama of jagged peaks perched atop steep-sided mountains, interspersed with u-shaped side valleys and moraines - all clear indications of glacial action. The lower slopes are green with lush vegetation but quickly rise to barren walls of rock. These sheer walls make Tassermiut Fjord a Mecca for rock climbers, who rate such climbs as Uiluit Qaaqa (Ketil), Ulamertorsuaq (Uli), and The Baroness as being some of the best in the world. For the less active among us, just processing and comprehending the vista itself seems challenging enough.
The Tassermiut Fjord region has always attracted people. Inuit made hunting camps around the fjord mouth to target the ringed, harp, and bearded seals that are abundant when the pack ice drifts in. The Norse too, settled the area in the 10th century, drawn no doubt to the valleys that promised fertile grazing for their precious livestock. They were also perhaps drawn to the astounding natural beauty of the region, as if it was blessed by divine hand, something that is readily apparent to the eager traveler that makes it to this little-explored corner of Greenland.

Cruise Prince Christian Sound, Greenland
The transit through the Sound is one of this voyage’s highlights. Connecting the Labrador Sea with the Irminger Seat, Prince Christian Sound - or “Prins Christian Sund” in Danish - is named after Prince (later King) Christian VII (1749-1808). 100 km (60 miles), long and at times just 500 meters (1,500 feet) wide, this majestic and spectacular fiord throws you back into a Viking era – flanked by soaring snow-topped mountains, rock-strewn cliffs, and rolling hills, it is as if time has stood still and one easily forgets that this is the 21st century. As you marvel at the sheer size of the mountains that surround you, with the Arctic waters lapping deceptively at the hull, revel in the silence enveloping you. Icebergs float serenely by, carrying with them the ages of time. Be sure to wear warm clothing as this is one spectacle that you do not want to miss.
Day at sea
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.
Vestmannaeyjar , Iceland
The name Vestmannaeyjar refers to both a town and an archipelago off the south coast of Iceland. The largest Vestmannaeyjar island is called Heimaey. It is the only inhabited island in the group and is home to over 4,000 people. The eruption of the Eldfell Volcano put Vestmannaeyjar into the international lime light in 1973. The volcano’s eruption destroyed many buildings and forced an evacuation of the residents to mainland Iceland. The lava flow was stopped in its tracks by the application of billions of liters of cold sea water. Since the eruption, life on the small island outpost has returned to the natural ebb and flow of a small coastal fishing community on the edge of the chilly and wild North Atlantic.

Reykjavik, Iceland
The capital of Iceland's land of ice, fire, and natural wonder, Reykjavik is a city like no other - blossoming among some of the world's most vibrant and violent scenery. Home to two-thirds of Iceland's population, Reykjavik is the island's only real city, and a welcoming and walkable place - full of bicycles gliding along boulevards or battling the wind when it rears up. Fresh licks of paint brighten the streets, and an artistic and creative atmosphere embraces studios and galleries - as well as the kitchens where an exciting culinary scene is burgeoning. Plot your adventures in the city's hip bars and cozy cafes, or waste no time in venturing out to Iceland's outdoor adventures. Reykjavik's buildings stand together - below the whip of winter's winds - together with the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja church, with its bell tower rising resolutely over the city. Iceland's largest church's design echoes the lava flows that have shaped this remote land and boasts a clean and elegant interior. The Harpa Concert Hall's sheer glass facade helps it to assimilate into the landscape, mirroring back the city and harbor. Its LED lights shimmer in honor of Iceland's greatest illuminated performance - the northern lights. Walk in the crusts between continents, feel the spray from bursts of geysers, and witness the enduring power of Iceland's massive waterfalls. Whether you want to sizzle away in the earth-heated geothermal pools or hike to your heart's content, you can do it all from Reykjavik - the colorful capital of this astonishing outdoor country.
