Tour overview
This 7-day expedition cruise explores Disko Bay, the iceberg heart of West Greenland. An expert expedition team leads Zodiac landings and lectures aboard the polar-class Ocean Victory. Flights between Copenhagen and Kangerlussuaq are included, and you spend six nights on board with all meals.
After flying from Copenhagen, you visit Sisimiut, Greenland's second town, with its long Inuit history, then the basalt mountains of Disko Island.

A Zodiac cruise takes you to the calving face of the Eqip Sermia glacier, and you spend a day in Ilulissat, the iceberg capital of the world, beside the UNESCO-listed Icefjord. A visit to the village of Itilleq ends the voyage before you sail up the Kangerlussuaq fjord.
The physical rating is medium. This cruise suits travellers who want a short, spectacular Arctic expedition.
