Autumn Northern Lights - from Greenland to Nova Scotia

Join an unforgettable 15-day expedition from Greenland to Atlantic Canada, exploring a stunning mosaic of Arctic landscapes, Inuit communities, and Viking history. Sail from Nuuk’s colorful streets through dramatic fjords and wildlife-rich islands to the glacial peaks of the Torngat Mountains and the Norse ruins of Newfoundland. This immersive journey blends raw wilderness with cultural richness, all aboard a world-class expedition vessel.

Day by day

Day 1 : Nuuk, Greenland - Embarkation

Arrive in Greenland’s vibrant capital of Nuuk, a city blending Inuit tradition with modern Nordic flair. After a scenic drive past the colorful cityscape, embark the Ocean Albatros, settle into your cabin, and meet your Expedition Team. Following safety briefings, enjoy your first dinner aboard as the ship sails out into the majestic Greenlandic coastal waters, marking the beginning of your Arctic adventure.

Day 2 : Kangaamiut and Eighedsfjorden, Greenland

Wake to the sights of Kangaamiut, a charming village clinging to steep fjord walls. Discover Greenlandic culture through local crafts, seal-flensing demonstrations, and sweeping hilltop views. In the afternoon, cruise deep into Evighedsfjorden—“The Eternity Fjord”—where glacial ice meets towering cliffs. Experience a Zodiac excursion in front of Evigheds Glacier, scanning for calving ice and nesting seabirds.
