Aappilattoq (Augpilatok) is a remote Inuit village of about 100 people, its name meaning “sea anemone” in Greenlandic. Nestled in a mountainous area with no road access, its colourful houses stretch along the southern tip of Greenland, by the breathtaking Prince Christian Sound. This sound, roughly 100 kilometres long, links the Labrador Sea to the Irminger Sea, winding through striking landscapes of glaciers, rugged peaks, and rocky cliffs with waterfalls from the ice sheet. The village, established in the 1920s in a once uninhabited region, thrives on hunting, fishing, and livestock farming.

In the municipality of Kujalleq, visit Nanortalik, an Inuit village located a few hundred kilometres from Greenland’s southernmost point. Fishing is the primary livelihood here, and visitors can share memorable moments with the locals. As snow blankets the landscape, immerse yourself in winter activities and explore Inuit traditions.

At winter’s end, journey to the ice-covered shores of the Inuit village of Narsaq a small, quintessentially Greenlandic community. Nestled amidst majestic snowy mountains, it offers a warm welcome in a striking setting. The vibrant, multicoloured houses create a magical atmosphere, sure to captivate you. Explore the village, embark on polar walks, and experience local performances, immersing yourself in the lives of its inhabitants and embracing the Greenlandic way of life.

In the icy waters of Baffin Bay, sail into the heart of scattered sea floes, where dreamlike icebergs captivate as the ship ventures into the Far North. Everything here is in shades of white, and with keen eyes, you might spot the polar bear, ruler of this frozen realm, wandering in search of food. The polar light casts a glow on the water and ice, leaving you with unforgettable memories as you explore Baffin Bay.

East of Baffin Bay lies Disko Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where icebergs from the Ilulissat Icefjord are trapped in the northern winter ice. From the ship, witness the majestic dance of these frozen ice giants, sculpted into extraordinary, dreamlike shapes. This natural wonder of Greenland is also a prime spot for observing humpback whales. Encounters with wildlife and breathtaking landscapes in this spectacular, fragile environment promises moments of pure awe.

On the southern coast of Disko Island lies Qeqertarsuaq, one of just two small villages on this island. Its remote location has made it a favoured spot for naturalists since the early days of polar exploration and the establishment of the Arctic Centre in 1906. Adventurers can explore Greenland’s natural wonders, encounter wildlife like humpback whales, and marvel at the striking basaltic organ landscapes. Amidst this stunning and fragile environment, enjoy the breath-taking views of Disko Island and Disko Bay’s grand and diverse landscapes.
