Greenland
Sailing Expeditions to the largest island in the World
New expeditions to Greenland!
Join us when we set sail towards Greenland, the world’s largest island with the largest fjord system in the world. We make the most of the 24-hour daylight and the midnight sun, and along the way we disembark and explore the area, do mountain hikes and make bonfires.
In the spirit of adventures
Greenland has drawn explorers and adventurers north for generations. Fridtjof Nansen was one of them, crossing the Greenland ice cap in 1888.
We explore Greenland by sailboat – crossing open sea, navigating between drifting icebergs and deep into enormous fjord systems. We go ashore, pull on our hiking boots, explore remote settlements and follow wherever the weather, ice and curiosity take us.
On board, we are all part of the adventure – sailing together, keeping lookout for whales, seals and perhaps even the king of the Arctic, the polar bear.
Welcome aboard. Greenland is waiting.

A real expedition – a super rare chance to fully participate in a wonderful adventure. This gave us the opportunity to explore places we had only dreamt of being able to get to, and that not many if any get to experience. An absolute treat that we will always remember. Thank you!

FAQ Greenland
How is Greenland governed?
Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but has a high degree of self-government, which was last extended in 2009. Self-government does not include matters of national politics, such as foreign and security policy.
What is the climate like in Greenland?
Greenland is located in the polar climate zone, where temperatures in winter can drop as low as -50°C. Greenland does not get the Gulf Stream effect, so during the summer, temperatures rarely rise above 15°C. However, due to Greenland’s size, temperatures can vary significantly from region to region.
5 facts about Greenland
- The population is 56,421 people (as of June 2021). The indigenous people, the Inuit, make up a clear majority on the island. During the trip, you’ll learn more about the Inuit culture and may even have the opportunity to get to know some locals better.
- The official language in Greenland is Greenlandic, which most of the people speaks. Many also understand Danish, and some consider themselves bilingual, with Danish as a second language.
- The capital of Greenland is Nuuk (Godthåb).
- Greenland is the world’s largest island and is located on the North American continent. Geopolitically, the island is part of Europe.
- As much as 80% of Greenland is covered by ice
Highlights of our Greenland trips
- We stop at a small settlement that rarely gets visitors – a big event both for us and the locals.
- In Greenland, there are almost no roads between the settlements, and all transportation occurs by boats and ships in the summer or by small planes and helicopters in the winter. The fact that we can move around by boat and get so close to nature is truly special!
- Majestic icebergs rising in the fjord arms, where you can listen to the sounds of ice moving.
- Wildlife we frequently encounter is the musk ox, whales, polar bears, arctic foxes, and walruses. Remember to keep a lookout!
