Journey beyond the familiar Arctic routes on an 11-day, 10-night expedition aboard Silver Endeavour, sailing from Reykjavik on August 28, 2027, and returning to the Icelandic capital after exploring Greenland's extraordinary eastern coastline. Designed around the wilderness and cultural heritage of Greenland, this voyage reaches the remote northern fjords of Northeast Greenland National Park, the largest protected national park in the world. Following a crossing of the Denmark Strait, discover Scoresby Sund, the planet's largest fjord system, where cathedral-sized icebergs drift beneath towering mountains and glacier fronts. Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, a small Inuit settlement where hunting and sled dogs remain part of local life, before continuing north to the expedition's centerpiece: two days in Franz Josef Fjord, surrounded by ancient multicolored rock formations, mirror-like waters, and Arctic tundra inhabited by musk oxen, Arctic hares, and Arctic foxes, with a possibility of spotting polar bears.
Further exploration awaits in King Oscar Fjord, where Zodiac excursions and tundra walks reveal glaciers and striking mountain scenery, while the return of dark nights brings the possibility of witnessing the aurora borealis. The voyage then follows Greenland's coast southward to Tasiilaq, where a local museum, historic church, the Valley of Flowers, and traditional carvings and drums introduce the culture of East Greenland. Days at sea provide opportunities for expedition lectures, relaxation in the ship's spa, and panoramic viewing before the journey concludes in Reykjavik.
