Sailing expedition to West Greenland

Experience Greenland’s iceberg-studded wonder under sail. From the moment you step aboard your steel expedition yacht—moored just ten minutes from Ilulissat Airport—you’ll slip past towering ice sculptures calved from Jakobshavn Glacier. Each day brings a new panorama: choose a 3 km or 7 km trek along the Blue Trail, pause for hot tea atop a windswept knoll, then scan the sea for humpbacks that surface in pods of four to seven. Shore calls in Aasiaat, secret-beach BBQs beneath twin waterfalls and visits to abandoned mining towns reveal layers of Inuit heritage and Viking lore. By night you’ll trade stories under the midnight sun, lulled by the creak of a vessel that’s your home in the high latitudes.
