16 Sep '27Cruise overview
From the southern coast of Greenland to the frozen expanses of Nunavut, via the wild fjords of Labrador, Newfoundland and the mysterious islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, nature showcases its majesty. Bathed in soft light, the Greenland fjords reveal glaciers and icebergs, while Nunavut’s unique natural environment welcomes polar bears in profound silence. On Akpatok Island, limestone cliffs and guillemots whisper timeless stories. Further south, the mountains of Labrador and the lagoons of the Atlantic islands invite contemplation and tranquillity amidst ever-changing light and an endless horizon.
Itinerary is subject to change according to port authorizations and government regulations. We are privileged guests in these remote lands where we are at the mercy of weather, ice, tidal and current conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the AECO.
Itinerary
Kangerlussuaq Havn
The name Kangerlussuaq means “Big Fjord” in the local Kalaallisut language. The settlement of about 500 people is located in western Greenland on flat land at the head of a fjord with the same name. Kangerlussuaq is the site of Greenland’s largest commercial airport and most of the economy here is dependent on the air transportation hub and tourism. The rugged lands around the settlement support terrestrial Arctic fauna including muskoxen, caribou, and Gyrfalcons.
