Expedition to the edge of the Ice Sheet

Set sail on an unforgettable odyssey, where the Nordic ice whispers the legends of the Vikings. From the shores of Iceland to the untamed lands of Greenland, fall under the spell of silent fjords, jagged mountains and blue-tinged icebergs. Each port of call will reveal striking and wild natural beauty: villages nestled against rock, tundra scattered with Viking ruins, and a horizon dotted with cetaceans and seabirds... Sailing along Prins Christian Sound, where waterfalls and cliffs are illuminated by crystal-clear light, and in Disko Bay, home to the largest icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere, will leave you awestruck. This is a timeless adventure to the far reaches of the world. We are privileged guests in these remote lands where we are at the mercy of weather, ice, tidal and current conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the AECO.
