Northeast Greenland National Park Micro Cruise
Highlights
- Venture deep into Scoresbysund and Kejser Franz Josephs Fjord, among the world’s most dramatic and untouched Arctic landscapes.
- Discover remnants of ancient Thule culture, historic trappers’ cabins, and stories of early polar exploration along Greenland’s remote shores.
- Encounter Arctic wildlife—from musk oxen and Arctic hares to seabirds and whales—amid glittering icebergs and colorful tundra blooms.
Embark on a remarkable 14-day expedition through East Greenland’s breathtaking wilderness—a journey through the largest fjord system on Earth, Scoresbysund, and into the far reaches of Northeast Greenland National Park. From the moment you fly in over sculpted sea ice and jagged peaks, the sheer scale and silence of the Arctic landscape will awaken your sense of wonder.
Sailing between immense fjord walls and landing at storied sites like Sydkap, Antarctic Havn, and Holm Bugt, you’ll trace the footsteps of ancient Thule hunters and early European explorers. Each landing offers a new perspective—on glaciers calving into cobalt waters, on delicate Arctic flora brightening the tundra, and on the resilience of life at the edge of the world.
Exploration by Zodiac and guided hikes reveal the raw geology of Segelsällskapet Fjord and the dramatic cliffs of Teufelsschloss (the “Devil’s Castle”). Along the way, keep watch for musk oxen grazing in the valleys, Arctic hares bounding across the plains, and whales surfacing amid drifting bergs.
Your voyage culminates in Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the planet’s most isolated settlements, where Greenlandic culture endures against the elements. This is a journey for those drawn to true wilderness and timeless solitude—an experience that will leave you forever changed by the majesty of the Arctic frontier.

Route Map
We prefer to embrace spontaneity and make the most of every opportunity nature presents to us. This is how we believe a true, authentic expedition should run. After all, the thrill of adventuring into the unknown is more rewarding than a journey that runs on tracks!
So this itinerary is for guidance only. The day-to-day activities may vary depending on the ice, the weather, and the wildlife. Landings are subject to site availability and permissions, and always in line with AECO regulations.
For even more flexibility, get in touch about making this a private yacht charter.
