Trip overview

A journey that feels like stepping into another world.

In short

This hosted Iceland and Greenland expedition runs July 17–30, 2027. It starts with an optional 3-night pre-cruise stay in Reykjavík, with the Blue Lagoon, the Golden Circle and a puffin and whale tour, followed by a 10-night expedition cruise aboard Atlas Ocean Voyages' World Navigator from Reykjavík to Nuuk. Erika Commisso travels with the group. Fares start at $8,649 per person, and every guest receives $200 in onboard credit. Group rates are below Atlas's published fares.

Sail from Iceland across the Denmark Strait to explore both the eastern and western coasts of Greenland. Towering peaks, massive icebergs and quiet fjords where glaciers meet the sea define the journey, while small settlements offer insight into enduring Inuit culture. From the dramatic southern passages to vibrant Nuuk, this voyage reveals Greenland at its most wild and alive, aboard an intimate, elegant expedition ship.
