Setting sail from Reykjavik
Capital of Iceland and gateway to this extraordinary volcanic island, modern Reykjavik is home to an impressive collection of interesting attractions and places of historic significance. Visit the impressive Hallgrímskirkja church, relax in a thermal pool, potter around the old harbour, and with 24 hour daylight in the summer months, you can play golf at midnight, or choose the perfect place to view the midnight sun such as the lighthouse at Grotta or on the waterfront by Sólfar - the Sun Voyager sculpture. If you're like us, you will find travelling out of Reykjavik by land or sea to be unforgettable.
Our tip
Visit the impressive Hallgrímskirkja for its amazing architecture, and go up the tower for an extraordinary view of the city.

1 July
Greenland: Skjoldungen
The uninhabited island of Skjoldungen is situated on Greenland’s rugged east coast, between the Northern and Southern Skjoldungenfjord. Here you’ll find a starkly beautiful landscape of snow-capped mountains, steep valley sides and icebergs in crystalline shades of white and blue.
2 July
Greenland: Prince Christian Sound
The spectacular Prince Christian Sound provides a protected passage for ships rounding the southern tip of Greenland, at times narrowing to just 1,500 feet across. Waterfalls cascade down the rugged mountain sides, and you can often spot whales and seals amongst the icebergs.
3 July
Greenland: Qaqortoq
Qaqortoq is southern Greenland’s largest town, though with just 3,000 inhabitants it’s hardly crowded. A trip to the nearby hot springs at Uunartoq is recommended; relaxing in the 38°C water and watching icebergs drift across the bay is quite something.
3 July
Greenland: Hvalsey
Norse settlers were exploring the coasts of North America long before Columbus made his journey across the Atlantic, and Hvalsey is home to some of the most important Norse ruins in Greenland. The 14th-century church here is remarkably well preserved, on the site of a major medieval farmstead.

5 July
Greenland: Nuuk
Greenland’s capital and largest town, Nuuk is positively cosmopolitan compared to the rest of this remote and isolated country. The setting amongst mountains and fjords is striking, and attractions include the Greenland National Museum and the picturesque Old Harbour.

7 July
Canada: Iqaluit
The Arctic city of Iqaluit is the capital of Nunavut, Canada’s northernmost territory. It’s a surprisingly cosmopolitan place given its isolation and polar climate, and is an important centre for contemporary Inuit culture; make sure you check out the fascinating Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum.

Arriving in Churchill (Manitoba)
Situated on the shores of Hudson Bay, Churchill is known as the 'polar bear capital of the world', though peak viewing season is in October and November when the bay begins to freeze, making it unsuitable for cruise ships. A summer visit brings its own remarkable wildlife spectacle, as thousands of migrating beluga whales congregate here between June and September. Churchill is also a fantastic birdwatching destination, with species including snowy owl, tundra swan, American golden plover and gyrfalcon, and there is still a chance of seeing polar bears during the summer months.
