Eastern Greenland Expedition & The Land of Fire & Ice - a cruise & land journey

Begin your journey in Reykjavík, the world's northernmost capital city and the largest settlement in Iceland. You'll be warmly welcomed on board Scenic Eclipse by your Captain, crew, and Discovery Team. With only up to 228 guests on board, you're about to experience an immersive, engaging, and intimate voyage through this fascinating part of the world. Toast the start of your journey from your private verandah with a glass of Champagne brought to you by the butler. Please ensure your flight arrives into Reykjavik before 02:00 PM.

Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, one of Greenland's most remote towns. Its 450 residents have adapted to a life reliant on the sea, where shifting sea ice offers new avenues for exploration. Immerse yourself in the community's resilience with a guided tour, exploring key landmarks such as the museum, church, weather station, and public service building. Don't miss the chance to have your passport stamped in this unique destination.

Experience the grandeur of the North-East Greenland National Park, a unique, untouched area of the world filled with beauty. Join our onboard geologist to unravel the geological wonders of the region, including the striking 'fold' formations etched into the cliff faces. Immerse yourself in the local culture with a visit to the charming community of Tasiilaq, nestled along the shores of King Oscar Harbour.

Explore the remote and rarely visited fjord system of Kejser Franz Josef Fjord. Marvel at the rugged beauty of this region and keep an eye out for Teufelschloss, aptly named 'The Devil's Castle,' a formidable rocky peak towering over the waters. Weather permitting, we'll venture to the awe-inspiring Waltershausen Glacier, one of Greenland's major Piedmont glaciers, where you might witness the spectacular sight of glacier calving.

Experience the grandeur of Scoresbysund, the largest and deepest fjord system in the world, and the birthplace of many of Greenland's glaciers. Over the next couple of days, be amazed by the mountainous surrounds, the lively wildlife, and the memorable adventures. As we enter this magnificent fjord system, stand in awe on the Observation Terrace or your private verandah, where you can marvel at the sheer grandeur of the glacial surroundings.

Continue your exploration of the majestic Scoresbysund fjord. This sprawling branches of icy water offer a breathtaking panorama of towering cliffs and shimmering glaciers. Navigating through its channels reveals this remote wilderness's raw power and beauty, igniting the spirit of exploration.

Today, we will exit the magnificent Scoresbysund fjord. Wake up at your own time and ask the butler to bring breakfast to your suite, so you can take in the awe-inspiring views from your private verandah. Enjoy some downtime at the expansive Senses Spa, surrender yourself to bliss with our skillful wellness therapists, and hold on to that feeling of calm for a while longer in the Zen-like space of the Vitality Lounge.
