Behold the majestic infinity of the northern expanses during a journey taking you from Greenland to Nunavut to the coastlines of Labrador and the sumptuous island of Newfoundland, featuring passionate history, majestic nature and unforgettable hikes. During the cruise, a succession of landscapes will create a sentiment of tranquillity, inherent to the contemplation of these spaces, which exceed any known proportions: gigantic fjords, high mountains, and so on.

Itinerary
Nuuk (Godthaab)
Nuuk, meaning “the cape”, was Greenland’s first town (1728). Started as a fort and later mission and trading post some 240 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, it is the current capital. Almost 30% of Greenland’s population lives in the town. Not only does Nuuk have great natural beauty in its vicinity, but there are Inuit ruins, Hans Egede’s home, the parliament, and the Church of our Saviour as well. The Greenlandic National Museum has an outstanding collection of Greenlandic traditional dresses, as well as the famous Qilakitsoq mummies. The Katuaq Cultural Center’s building was inspired by the undulating Northern Lights and can house 10% of Nuuk’s inhabitants.
