At Sea

Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik — the world's most northern capital — is Iceland's cultural hub. Sundahöfn is a modern harbour just minutes from the city centre that welcomes large ships from around the world, while smaller ships dock in the Old Harbour at the heart of town. Famous for its vibrant nightlife and vast array of cafes, bars and restaurants this diverse setting also boasts natural beauty in the unspoilt countryside.
Away from the bustling centre, discover a small piece of paradise at the Nauthólsvík geothermal beach. Golden sand meets a fusion of cold sea and hot geothermal water, which produces warmer temperatures perfect for swimming. Visit in winter and catch a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis - The Northern Lights.

Qaqortoq, Greenland
The town of Qaqortoq is located in southern Greenland, near to Cape Thorvaldsen. This town is rich in art, culture, Norse history, and hot springs, and is also a popular spot for kayaking and hiking. Take a leisurely walk around nearby Lake Tasersuaq, hop on a passenger boat to Hvalsey and see the church ruins, or experience the hot springs at Uunartoq. Follow the route of the Stone & Man exhibition; which comprises 40 sculptures created by Greenlandic artist, Aka Hoegh, and his artist friends in the mid-1990s. Admire the tupilaks, talismans, and modern art on display at Qaqortoq Museum. Explore the adjoining main square with its 100-year old fountain, historical buildings, cafes, and eateries.
9
Narsarsuaq, Greenland
Narsaq is a town in southern Greenland and its name translates to 'Plain', which refers to the shore of Tunulliarfik Fjord where it's located. No time here is complete without a visit to the red-and-green Lund Cottage and a trip to Eskimo Pels is well worth it to see where local women turn sealskins into designer bags and clothes. Discover a collection of local findings at Narsaq Museum and challenge yourself to a variety of beautiful sightseeing hikes and perhaps stop in a mountain hut for a truly authentic experience. The private house of Borge Brodersen is home to an impressive mineral collection and, when the sun goes down, the converted chicken farm Honekroen is the place to listen to live music and enjoy a few drinks at the bar.

Sisimiut, Greenland
Sisimiut is the capital and largest city of Greenland's Qeqqata municipality. This Arctic city has close to 5,600 residents and sits on the coast of Davis Strait in central-western Greenland; approximately 40km north of the Arctic Circle and 320km north of Nuuk. Sisimiut perfectly combines backcountry sports and Arctic adventures with cultural highlights and stunning natural sights. Go fly fishing for Arctic char in the rivers, hiking and cross-country racing through the mountains, and snowmobiling, snowshoeing, or dog-sledding across powder-white landscapes. Step back in time at the 18th and 19th-century buildings at Sisimiut Museum; including the Old Shop, Old House, Colonial Manager's House, Bethel Church, and Turf House. If you visit in the summer months, you'll hopefully get to experience the Midnight Sun; while September to April is your best chance to enjoy the natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights.
12-13
Ilulissat Icefjord, Greenland
The town of Illulissat nestles on the coast of western Greenland and is famous for the Illulissat Icefjord and the huge icebergs that calve from the fast-moving Sermeq Kujalleq glacier into Disko Bay. Illulissat is found over 350km north of the Arctic Circle and is home to about 4600 residents and nearly 3500 sled dogs. Witness the dramatic views over the ice as you follow the trails towards the Old Settlement of Sermermiut or go on a thrilling dog sledding tour. Explore the area's history and the life of locally-born explorer Knud Rasmussen at Illulissat Museum or admire the paintings on display at Inuit Art Museum. Go on a whale watching safari in Disko Bay to perhaps catch sight of humpback, minke, and fin whales or glide past icebergs by kayak in Illulissat Icefjord. Head 21km north out of the town to the picturesque, traffic-free, and virtually uninhabited village of Oqaatsut. Set out on a Northern Light tour for the best chance to see the awe-inspiring sight of the Aurora Borealis in all its glory from early September to the end of April.

Nuuk, Greenland
Nuuk - means ‘majestic fjord views’ in Greenlandic - and sits on Greenland's southwest coast. Set against the backdrop of the Sermitsiaq Mountain, Nuuk is the country's capital and largest city and has been inhabited by many settlers over the centuries; but the present town was only established in 1728. The area's fjord system is rich in waterfalls, icebergs, and humpback whales. A guided tour through the picturesque Old Harbour reveals history and traditions that still remain strong. Perhaps marvel at the mummies and Inuit skin boats at the Greenland National Museum or try the local Greenlandic beer at Greenland’s largest microbrewery. Alternatively, learn about Inuit culture at the Nuuk Art Museum
16-19
At Sea
20
Kirkwall, Orkney Islands
Kirkwall is both the largest town and the capital of the Orkney Islands. This vibrant and busy port town was granted Royal Burgh status by James III of Scotland in 1486 and is the main transport and port hub in the Orkneys. The medieval St Magnus Cathedral dominates the skyline, with the Earl's and Bishop's Palaces close by. Step back in time at Orkney Museum in Tankerness House before strolling around its delightful walled gardens. Explore the art of whisky making at Scapa Distillery or shop for souvenirs at the niche shops and boutiques in the town centre.
