Reykjavík
Depart 17:00

Isafjørdur
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00
A small town at the head of a deep fjord in Iceland's remote Westfjords, ringed by steep flat-topped mountains. Ísafjörður is known for its preserved timber houses, access to nearby seabird cliffs and Arctic-fox country, and dramatic fjord scenery.

Prince Christian Sound
Arrive 00:00
A narrow, glacier-fringed channel near the southern tip of Greenland, threaded by ships rather than visited ashore. Sheer rock walls, drifting icebergs and the tiny Inuit settlement of Aappilattoq make the passage one of the most dramatic scenic cruising routes in the region.

The largest town in southern Greenland, a cluster of colourful wooden houses around a sheltered harbour below rocky hills. Icebergs drift in the surrounding fjords, and the old colonial quarter, fountain square and nearby hot spring at Uunartoq draw visitors ashore.
