Arctic Voyage to Greenland and Iceland

This afternoon we board Ambience in Tilbury, settle into your cabin and explore the ships facilities as we set sail to Reykjavik. 

Spend the day relaxing and getting to know your new surroundings as we spend the day at sea.

Today is spent in Iceland’s cosmopolitan capital. There’s much to explore in this buzzy city, including the striking white-concrete church of Hallgrímskirkja, futuristic Perlan Museum, and the famous Blue Lagoon on the Reykanes Peninsula.

South Greenland’s largest town was founded in 1775 and is famed for its colonial-style architecture. Its charming town square houses Greenland’s oldest fountain, whilst historical relics discovered in the area stretch back more than 4,000 years. 

Narsarsuaq is located close to Brattahlid, the farm of tenth-century Viking explorer Erik the Red. It is also home to the Greenlandicum Arboretum, a nature reserve hosting more than 110 rare species of tree.

Greenland’s third largest city is home to almost as many sled-dogs as people. It is one of the sunniest settlements in Greenland, and its stunning colourful houses have made it a popular destination.

Nuuk is unlike any other capital city – home to just 18,000 people and set opposite crystal-clear waters and snow-covered peaks. Its strong Inuit culture makes it unique, and it has been described as the most indigenous city in the world.

In bustling Kirkwall, the main town on Orkney, there's plenty to see in the narrow, winding streets extending from the harbour. The cathedral and some museums are highlights.
