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

   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 3

   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.

6. Day 5

   Arsukfjord

   Greenland

   

   Arsukfjord 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 September, when long northern days and mild temperatures make exploration a pleasure. Cruise lines including Hapag-Lloyd Cruises 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.

Must-do experiences include exploring the historic quarter to absorb centuries of architectural heritage, and sampling the distinctive northern cuisine that transforms local ingredients into refined dining experiences. The optimal time to visit is June through August, when summer months bring the warmest temperatures and longest days.

10. Day 9

    Tasiilaq

    Greenland

    

    Tasiilaq is the largest settlement in East Greenland with just 2,000 residents, one of the most remote inhabited communities on Earth, surrounded by the spectacular Sermilik Icefjord, massive glaciers, and tundra that blooms intensely during the brief Arctic summer. Must-dos include a boat trip through the iceberg-filled Sermilik Icefjord, hiking the Valley of Flowers, and watching traditional tupilak carving and drum dancing. Visit August for the warmest weather and best icefjord access.

11. Day 10

    Ittoqqortoormiit

    Greenland

    

    Ittoqqortoormiit is one of Earth's most isolated settlements, a community of 350 on the shores of the world's largest fjord system in East Greenland, surrounded by cathedral-sized icebergs, muskox herds, and polar bears. Visitors should cruise Scoresby Sund's dramatic ice-filled arms, experience Inuit dog-sledding culture, and watch for polar bears on the sea ice. The brief visiting window of July through September depends entirely on ice conditions.

12. Day 11

    Northeast Greenland National Park

    Greenland

    

    Northeast Greenland National Park is Earth's largest protected area at 972,000 square kilometers, a roadless wilderness of ice caps, the world's longest fjord, and 15,000 muskoxen with zero permanent human residents.

Visitors should not miss the fjord approach by sea and a day trip to Dettifoss, Europe's most powerful waterfall.

Visitors should explore the lodberries along Commercial Street and the award-winning Shetland Museum at Hay's Dock.

    Hamburg, Germany

    Arrive 07:00

    Germany

    

    Hamburg — once the 'Gateway to the World' and still Germany's greatest port — combines Hanseatic grandeur with an unmatched contemporary creative energy. The Speicherstadt, a vast nineteenth-century brick warehouse district now housing design studios, museums, and the Elbphilharmonie concert hall perched dramatically above the Elbe, exemplifies the city's gift for transforming history into living culture. The Reeperbahn's legendary nightlife, the Alster lake's elegant promenades, and an exceptional restaurant scene anchored by the finest fresh fish from the daily harbour market complete an irresistible portrait. Hamburg rewards visits year-round, though May through September offers the longest, most luminous days.
