Day 5: Ilulissat & Disko Bay

Spectacular days await as you cruise Disko Bay. Ilulissat is the main town on the bay, named from the Inuit word for ‘iceberg’. It’s famous for the large number of icebergs breaking away from the nearby Ilulissat Icefjord, a World Heritage-listed site. The Icefjord is the mouth of the vast Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier, one of the world’s fastest moving and most active glaciers, calving a remarkable 46 cubic kilometers of ice annually. Listen for the rumbling sounds in the distance as huge chunks of ice break from the glacier and tumble into the water below. Meals: B. L. D.

 

Day 6: Eqip Sermia Glacier

Expect more thundering ice today as you sail close to the Eqip Sermia Glacier, one of Greenland’s most active glaciers. Scenic Eclipse will be able to get close to the sheer front of the glacier, so you can hear and feel the huge blocks of ice calving into the water. The expert Discovery Team will be on hand to guide you through the glacier’s activity, showcasing its awe-inspiring beauty and fascinating history. Witness the breathtaking sight of towering ice walls and shimmering blue hues nestled amidst Greenland’s pristine landscapes. Meals: B. L. D.

 

Day 7: Sisimiut

Sitting around 40 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, Sisimiut is the second-largest town in Greenland. With colorful houses sprinkled around a picturesque bay, the town is bathed in perpetual sunlight during the summer months. Explore Sisimiut’s rich history, dating back some 4,500 years, at the local museum, which has a collection of ancient Saqqaq artifacts. You’ll have the opportunity to purchase souvenirs crafted from qiviut, the inner wool of a muskox, such as scarves, hats, or mittens. Immerse yourself in authentic interactions with local communities, adding depth and authenticity to your Arctic experience. Meals: B. L. D.

 

Day 8: Evighed Fjord

Enjoy a slow day cruising through Evighed Fjord, or ‘Eternity Fjord’, considered one of the most beautiful in Greenland. Stretching for more than 75 kilometers, you’ll be awed by the endless fields of ice glittering under the sun. Tall, jagged peaks threaded with glaciers rise straight up out of the calm blue waters. Many of the glaciers are very active and you will likely hear chunks of ice calving away and collapsing loudly into the ocean. In Evighed Fjord, you’ll feel the beauty and power of nature all around you. Meals: B. L. D.

Freshly squeezed juice, steaming barista-made coffee or tea delivered to your door by the butler will help you start your day.

Day 11: L’Anse aux Meadows

Sitting at the northern tip of the island of Newfoundland, L’Anse aux Meadows is the site of the first recorded European contact with North America. It’s a true milestone in the history of human migration and discovery. Now a World Heritage Site, it marks the sole Viking-established settlement on the continent, dating back to the 11th century. The archaeological remnants, including remnants of wood-framed peat-turf buildings, mirror those found in Norse Greenland and Iceland. Exploring the site, you’ll embark on a fascinating journey tracing the footsteps of Vikings who arrived in North America centuries before Columbus. Meals: B. L. D.

Day 12: Woody Point

Scenic Eclipse will continue sailing down the west coast of Newfoundland, bound for Bonne Bay and Woody Point. These small towns are nestled within Gros Morne National Park, a World Heritage-listed site that was formed over 485 million years. This sprawling and beautiful park is made up of strikingly diverse landscapes, from moody mountains and deep fjords to barren tablelands and deserted beaches. On the water, the cove is divided into Inner and Outer Bonne Bay. Inner Bonne Bay boasts serene wooded coves and sandy beaches, while Outer Bonne Bay serves as the gateway to the majestic Bonne Bay fjord. Meals: B. L. D.

Day 14: Halifax

Halifax, Nova Scotia’s dynamic capital, has long been tied to the sea. It has one of the largest and deepest ice-free harbors in the world, and has been an important military and commercial port for more than 250 years. Today, you can learn about its rich cultural heritage through the city’s many museums and historical sites. Wander through bustling downtown streets and picturesque waterfronts, savoring maritime delights and charming cafes. A late departure gives you time to sample the city’s famed live music scene, which takes over historic pubs and cozy venues every night of the week. Meals: B. L. D.

 

Day 15: Lunenburg

Lunenburg is one of Canada’s most beautiful towns, a World Heritage-listed site where 70 per cent of the original buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries still stand. It is the best surviving example of a British colonial settlement in North America, set out along an orderly grid pattern. You’ll be charmed by its picturesque colorful houses and architectural wonders like the Lunenburg Academy, the pink Wedding Cake House, and St. John’s Anglican Church. The historic waterfront is now home to a lively mix of restaurants, breweries, distilleries and boutiques, all of which embrace the town’s proud seafaring legacy. Meals: B. L. D.
