Fabled Lands of the North: Greenland to Newfoundland
Embark on an expedition deep into the remote fjords and wild coastlines of Baffin Island and Labrador, where sheer cliffs rise from icy waters and centuries of history are etched into the land. Trace routes once paddled by Inuit hunters and explored by Norse seafarers, guided by our expert staff archaeologists who bring the stories of past and present Inuit settlements to life. Glide by Zodiac beneath towering rock walls, hike along tundra valleys and stand in awe before glaciers tumbling into the sea. From Greenland’s iceberg-dotted Disko Bay to the rugged heights of the Torngat Mountains, each day offers a rare encounter with both the natural grandeur and the living heritage of the Arctic.
