Silver Endeavour: 11-Day East Greenland & Iceland Cruise

Embark on an extraordinary 11-day, 10-night Arctic expedition aboard Silver Endeavour, departing round-trip from Reykjavik on August 20, 2028, to discover the remote wilderness of East Greenland and Iceland's spectacular Westfjords. Cross the Denmark Strait toward Greenland, where dramatic mountains, immense icebergs, and pristine tundra landscapes create an unforgettable setting for polar exploration. Spend two days discovering King Oscar Fjord near Northeast Greenland National Park, the world's largest national park, with opportunities for Zodiac excursions, guided landings, and hikes in search of musk oxen, Arctic hares, and Arctic foxes. Continue into Scoresby Sund, the world's largest fjord system, for three days of exploration among towering icebergs, glacier fronts, and imposing rock walls, with possible sightings of seals, whales, and polar bears. As darkness returns to the Arctic skies in late August, there may even be opportunities to witness the first northern lights of the season. Visit the isolated Greenlandic community of Ittoqqortoormiit to discover aspects of traditional Inuit life before returning to Iceland's Westfjords, where the fishing town of Ísafjörður and the magnificent Dynjandi waterfall provide a memorable conclusion to the journey. Throughout the expedition, onboard presentations, wildlife observation, and guided outdoor activities enrich the experience before Silver Endeavour returns to Reykjavik.

One of the city's most recognizable sights is Hallgrímskirkja, the impressive church that dominates the skyline and serves as a defining feature of Reykjavik's urban landscape. Before embarking, take the opportunity to appreciate the character of this northern capital, where contemporary city life meets the traditions and architectural influences of Iceland. Board Silver Endeavour to begin your 11-day Arctic voyage through East Greenland and Iceland. In the late afternoon, the ship departs Reykjavik and heads toward Greenland, marking the beginning of an expedition into some of the most remote and spectacular landscapes of the North Atlantic and Arctic.
