EXPLORE GREENLAND'S REMOTE BEAUTY & RICH CULTURE WITH SILVERSEA EXPEDITIONS
Venture through one of the world's most spectacular wildernesses aboard Silversea Expeditions' luxury vessel, Silver Explorer. Guests spend 12 days sailing through remote fjords and dazzling active white glaciers, while immersed in Viking heritage and the Inuit culture.
Departing Reykjavik, Iceland on 15 August 2015, Silver Explorer crosses the Denmark Strait to sail along Greenland's rugged coastline, visiting Thyrms Glacier and Prince Christian Sound, where guests witness towering snow tipped mountains, sculptured icebergs and streaming waterfalls. Docking in Nanortalik, a small scenic town surrounded by steep mountainsides and brimming with heritage, Silversea guests learn about the Inuit ancestry, traditional clothing, customs and lifestyle and unwind in hot springs renowned for their healing properties.
Continuing her journey through Greenland, Silver Explorer visits Uunartoq Island, Qaqortoq, Hvalsey and Brattahlid. Each of these towns are abundant with historic ruins, endemic wildlife and remarkable surroundings.
Arriving in Nuuk, Greenland's capital, guests are guided through the picturesque harbour town, exploring Inuit ruins and the famous Qilakitsoq mummies along the way, before cruising to Sisimiut, where there is an opportunity to meet a sledge dog team. Silver Explorer then ports in Ilulissat, home to Jakobshavn, the northern hemisphere's most active glacier that radiates shades of white and turquoise at sunrise. This voyage concludes in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, with guests disembarking on 27 August 2015.
