Greenland: Kangerlussuaq to Ilulissat Itinerary

Greenland: Kangerlussuaq to Ilulissat Yacht Charter
A short expedition through the icebergs and wildlife of west Greenland, from the edge of the great icecap to the UNESCO icefjord of Ilulissat. In five days, take in the ice sheet, the whale-rich waters of Disko Bay and one of the most active glaciers on earth. Expect colossal bergs and basalt islands, kayaking and whale watching, a compact Arctic adventure.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Kangerlussuaq

Board at Kangerlussuaq, once a Cold War air base and now a wildlife haven at the head of a long fjord near the icecap. Cruise the fjord seaward, watching for musk oxen ashore, as the voyage begins.
