Scoresby Sund - Overland Trip

1 ½ weeks: Akureyri to Keflavik (KU-ARC04)

The Arctic, one of the most outstanding nature and wildlife destinations in the world. This 10 day cruise aboard an ice-strengthened ship offers a unique, small-group expedition that allows you to get close to the Arctic’s spectacular, pristine scenery and incredible wildlife. The ship sails from Iceland, across the Denmark Strait to Greenland, traveling down its Eastern coastline before heading back to Iceland. The voyage focuses on exploration, spending as much time ashore as possible, combined with educational lectures onboard covering topics such as bird life, marine mammals, vegetation and landscapes. Operated only in the summer season, the voyage takes advantage of the long hours of daylight and when temperatures are not severe, allowing you to enjoy this memorable adventure in as much comfort as possible. Please note: The cost of the tour shown is the price for the cheapest cabin, per person, based on twin share. Depending on the ship used for a particular departure, there may or may not be private bathrooms included with the cheapest cabin. Higher standard cabins with private facilities are available at higher prices. Triple cabins are also available on some departures. Please consult your travel agent or your Kumuka representative for further information.

A 20% deposit is required to secure your booking, and full payment at least 2 months prior to departure. Special cancelation conditions apply.
