Iceland & Eastern Greenland 13 Day Cruise
Iceland & Eastern Greenland 13 Day Cruise
Aboard: SH VegaExperience the wild beauty of Iceland’s Westfjords region before sailing across the Denmark Strait to Greenland’s rugged east coast. Here we’ll explore Scoresbysund’s vast fjord networks, gliding through pristine icy waters set against a backdrop of imposing basalt mountain ranges. All the while searching for Arctic hares, muskoxen and if we’re very lucky, polar bears. The wind-sheltered fjords offer the perfect refuge for a plethora of wildlife, including vast populations of seabirds. Returning via the secluded beauty of east Iceland, we’ll visit charming fishing villages, explore dramatic ice-carved landscapes and experience the aftermath of a relatively recent volcanic eruption.
