6 days, 5 nights, REYKJAVIK - ERIC'S FJORD - NARSAQ - NUUK - ILULISSAT | The Grand tour of Greenland starts in beautiful South Greenland with the remains and history of the Vikings, the colourful wooden houses surrounded by deep blue fjords where calving glaciers produce icebergs in all shapes and colours. Nuuk, the capital of Greenland with its modern and still traditional life style. Tour ends in Ilulissat - the town of the Icebergs with the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site; Ilulissat Ice Fjord.
South Greenland - Historic sites from the Viking Age, the Inland Ice Cap, fertile mountains, sheep farms, deep blue fjords with multi-colored icebergs and calving glaciers, all within short range of your hotel.
The Greenland Capital, Nuuk - A modern town in the Arctic, centre of the Greenlandic administration and site of the famous Greenland National Museum.
Ilulissat - The town of the Icebergs and the most modern town in the Disko Bay area – still man is outnumbered by the huskies and traces of 4000 years old inuit settlements are still to be found. Small and isolated settlements where the local population is still depending upon hunting and fishing are to be found close to the town - not to forget the UNESCO designated Ilulissat Ice Fiord and its gigantic icebergs.
