Hapag-Lloyd Cruises

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Kangerlussuaq Havn

   Depart 21:00

   Greenland

   

   Kangerlussuaq Havn is the eastern Greenlandic gateway to the Scoresby Sund — the world's longest fjord system — where sheer basalt cliffs, colossal icebergs, and one of Earth's most isolated Inuit communities await expedition vessels from Ponant and Hapag-Lloyd. Visit July through September for muskox encounters, midnight-sun ice photography, and the Arctic in its most concentrated and demanding form.

2. Day 2

   At Sea

   

3. Day 3

   Evighedsfjorden

   Greenland

   

   Evighedsfjorden is Greenland's 'Fjord of Eternity' — a seventy-five-kilometer passage flanked by ice-capped peaks and tidewater glaciers that provides one of expedition cruising's most profound Arctic landscape encounters. Navigate July through August via Ponant or Seabourn for midnight-sun glacial photography, humpback whale encounters echoing off cliff faces, and a passage so vast it transforms the concept of eternity from abstraction to sensory reality.

4. Day 4

   Uummannaq

   Greenland

   

   Uummannaq is a vividly painted Arctic town perched beneath a heart-shaped mountain on Greenland's western coast, surrounded by colossal icebergs and rich Inuit cultural heritage. Must-dos include zodiac cruising through the iceberg-filled fjord, visiting the Uummannaq Museum, and experiencing the midnight sun's eternal golden light. July and August offer the warmest conditions and best accessibility for Arctic expedition cruising.

5. Day 5

   Kangerlussuaq

   Greenland

   

   Kangerlussuaq is Greenland's gateway settlement at the head of a 190-kilometer fjord, where the Greenland Ice Sheet is accessible by road and muskoxen graze valleys with Pleistocene gravitas. Visit June through August via Hapag-Lloyd or Seabourn for the humbling experience of standing at the edge of Earth's second-largest ice body, Arctic wildlife encounters, and the unique continental climate that produces Greenland's most extreme temperature ranges.

6. Day 6

   Siorapaluk

   Greenland

   

   Siorapaluk is Earth's northernmost permanent settlement, an Inughuit community of fewer than seventy people in northwestern Greenland living by traditional hunting of narwhals and polar bears. Must-dos include Zodiac landings at this extraordinary Arctic community, learning about Inughuit hunting culture, and experiencing twenty-four-hour polar daylight. Only accessible by expedition ship in July and August when fjord ice permits.

7. Day 7

   Siorapaluk

   Greenland

   

   Siorapaluk is Earth's northernmost permanent settlement, an Inughuit community of fewer than seventy people in northwestern Greenland living by traditional hunting of narwhals and polar bears. Must-dos include Zodiac landings at this extraordinary Arctic community, learning about Inughuit hunting culture, and experiencing twenty-four-hour polar daylight. Only accessible by expedition ship in July and August when fjord ice permits.

8. Day 8

   Old Thule

   Greenland

   

   Old Thule in Greenland offers dramatic Nordic landscapes where fjords, glaciers, and pristine wilderness create scenes of remarkable natural grandeur. The essential experience is immersion in the outdoor environment—hiking, wildlife watching, and savoring the region's exceptional seafood in settings of extraordinary beauty. Best visited June through August, when the midnight sun bathes the landscape in golden light for nearly twenty-four hours. Cruise lines including Ponant feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.

11. Day 11

    Ilulissat

    Greenland

    

    Ilulissat sits beside the Northern Hemisphere's most prolific glacier — the UNESCO-listed Sermeq Kujalleq, which calves forty-six cubic kilometers of icebergs annually into a fjord of almost incomprehensible frozen spectacle. Visit June through August via Silversea or Hapag-Lloyd for midnight-sun zodiac cruises among hundred-meter icebergs, Knud Rasmussen's childhood museum, and the light show that transforms Greenland's ice into one of Earth's most transformative visual experiences.

12. Day 11

    Disko Bay

    Greenland

    

    Disko Bay is Greenland's monumental iceberg gallery, where the world's most prolific glacier discharges bergs of hundred-meter scale into a UNESCO-adjacent bay that functions as a constantly refreshed Arctic sculpture garden. Navigate July through August via Hapag-Lloyd or Ponant for zodiac cruises between towering icebergs, humpback whale bubble-net feeding, and the Inuit cultural encounters that provide human context for life at 69°N latitude.

13. Day 12

    Sisimiut

    Greenland

    

    Sisimiut is Greenland's adventure capital, a colourful Arctic town of 5,500 people just north of the Arctic Circle on the west coast. Must-dos include hiking the Arctic Circle Trail, whale watching for humpbacks and narwhals, and exploring the colonial-era museum. Summer brings midnight sun and hiking conditions, while winter offers dog-sledding, skiing, and northern lights.
