Nuuk (Godthaab) TO New York, New York
16-day all-inclusive Greenland expedition cruise with round-trip flights from New York
Our most northerly expedition with five days exploring the Thule region, one of Earth's most remote inhabited frontiers.
Witness the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord and cruise Disko Bay's vast iceberg fields at the height of summer under the Midnight Sun.
Journey the full length of Greenland's west coast, from modern Nuuk to ancient Thule, spanning 4,500 years of Arctic human history.
Icy waters of Disko Bay
We head north from Nuuk along the rugged and breathtaking coast of west Greenland. See immense icebergs drifting through Disko Bay, calved from Sermeq Kujalleq, the gigantic glacier at the head of UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord.
Thule High Arctic region
Isolated even by Arctic standards, the inhabitants of the far north, known in legend as Thule, have for centuries been the northernmost communities on the planet. Expect High Arctic conditions, cold-adapted wildlife, ice-choked waters, and the coolest summer on Earth.

About the Ship

MS Fridtjof Nansen
Operator
HX Expeditions
The newest addition to our fleet will honor the heritage of her namesake – the Norwegian explorer, scientist, humanitarian, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Fridtjof Nansen. Known for his innovations in Arctic expeditions, Nansen led the first crossing of Greenland on cross-country skis. He is perhaps most famous for his attempt to reach the geographical North Pole during the Fram Expedition (1893-1896).

Our expedition ships – MS Roald Amundsen, MS Fridtjof Nansen, MS Fram, MS Spitsbergen, MS Santa Cruz II – are more than just a way to travel - they’re your home in the heart of the wild. Instead of an onboard casino, we have the Science Centre. Instead of cabaret shows, you have all the show you need outside the windows. No water slides, just kayaking trips or small-boat safaris along the coast in the Arctic, Antarctic, or the Galápagos.
We offer a rich and varied program of optional shore excursions. In many ports, we offer an included excursion, which can be reserved for no additional charge. In many cases the included excursion can be combined with other optional excursions in the port. Most excursions can be pre-booked but may also be bookable onboard if capacity remains.
We advise that you book well in advance in order to avoid disappointment due to the excursion b....
