East Greenland & Scoresby Sund, Including Long Hikes | Plancius Expedition Ship

Your journey begins in the morning, where, by request, you can transfer via chartered bus (T) from the bus stop Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre at Austurbakki, Reykjavik (the meeting point) to the ship in Akureyri (the embarkation point). You arrive in the afternoon after a six-hour drive through northern Iceland.

PLEASE NOTE: This transfer (T) must be booked and paid for in advance. In the early evening, the ship departs from the port of Akureyri, sailing north toward the Denmark Strait.

While sailing north across the Denmark Strait, you’re likely to see fulmars, kittiwakes, gannets, and common guillemots. You then cross the Arctic Circle, possibly spotting whales. By evening, as snow-capped peaks appear on the horizon, the first icebergs flash into sight with your approach to the east Greenland coast, near Kap Brewster and the mouth of Scoresby Sund.
