Testimonials:

This summer we had a fantastic time on board MV Ocean Atlantic. Thank you Nordic Saga for this fantastic experience! Our 5- day cruise was like one day. All stops were well chosen, fantastic views, excellent guides.I only wish we could have stayed longer in Reykjavik. Hopefully next time... Thank you very much! Sandra Rogers

After the fantastic time in Reykjavik we enjoyed even more fantastic cruise to Greenland. Thank you Dora for arranging this amazing holiday package for us. We were mesmerized by the fjords, icebergs , glaciers and wildlife in the ocean. The ship was very comfortable with amazing crew and very knowledgeable guides. Hotel Natura in Reykjavik was very nice as well. Thanks for all , Raminta Cogan

The ship has been redone and is quite nice, food was bountiful and delicious. However, the beds were very uncomfortable and need to be upgraded! Traffic flow getting off for our tour was disorganized and slow!

Itinerary:

Join us on an expedition cruise from Reykjavík to Kangerlussuaq, which follows the same maritime course set by Norse settlers over a thousand years ago. After crossing Danmark Strait between Iceland and Greenland, we will visit the Inuit settlements of Tasiilaq and Kulusuk. Further south we will pass from East Greenland to West Greenland though the dramatic Prince Christians Sound. Heading north along the coast we will visit the capital of Greenland, one of the smallest in the world. In the Disko Bay, we will experience local folk dancing in Qeqertarsuaq and sail to the renowned Eqi Glacier. At the Sermermiut Plain we will have the chance to admire the World Heritage Site of the Ilulissat Icefjord and the dazzling icebergs in the late evening sun. Finally we’ll enter the long fjord of Kangerlussuaq, where we can hope to get a glimse of the muscoxen and reindeers roaming the tundra along the Greenland Icecap.
