West Greenland & Baffin Island in Luxury 14 days

Aboard: Le Boreal

Set sail to Baffin Bay in the company of our experienced guides and naturalists to discover unspoiled regions that are located well inside the Arctic Circle. The first destination is the North-West coast of Greenland which will welcome you with its majestic icebergs, colourful villages encircled by mountains and its basalt formations. This is the ideal opportunity for meeting the local population and learning about Greenland Inuit culture. You will marvel at the glacier of Disko Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and you will visit the Paul Emile Victor base. This is also the starting point for a walk up to a panoramic viewing point that overlooks the glacier, and out towards the Greenland polar icecap (Inlandsis), the second largest expanse of ice in the world. The North of Greenland will then reveal its remote villages of peat houses where the last bear hunters and narwhal fishers live in the middle of the Arctic tundra according to their ancestral traditions. You will also see the remains of ancient Inuit civilisations and will discover Savissivik, the largest 'iceberg graveyard' in Greenland. The next destination will be the Nunavut in Canada, with its immense cliffs, bird colonies and fjords. You will visit Isabella Bay and its National Wildlife Area which is home to many bowhead whales. You may be lucky enough to see polar bears, seals, narwhals and even killer whales during your journey. This will also be the occasion to keep an eye on the sky in search of aurora borealis.
