East Greenland Expedition

Join us on a wild and remote Arctic expedition encompassing Svalbard, Greenland and Iceland.

The starting point for our adventure is Longyearbyen, located on Spitsbergen, the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago. Longyearbyen is the world’s northernmost town, located at latitude 78° North, just 1,316 km from the North Pole. We board the M/S Quest in Longyearbyen and venture into the stunning fjords of western Svalbard, keeping an eye out for Arctic wildlife such as polar bears, walruses, foxes and seabirds.

With seven days to explore Northeast Greenland, we aim to enjoy daily paddling excursions and shore landings in this awe-inspiring world of pack ice, giant icebergs and serene fjords. We explore the magnificent Kong Oscar Fjord before continuing to Scoresbysund, the world’s largest fjord system and an important hunting ground for local Inuit communities. Massive glaciers flow into the fjord, creating the birthplace of Greenland’s famous giant icebergs. After an unforgettable exploration of Northeast Greenland, we cross the Denmark Strait to Iceland and disembark in the scenic settlement of Ísafjörður.

We have an exceptional team of passionate polar experts on board the M/S Quest to help you enjoy and understand the region’s wildlife, geology, flora and history.
