Le Boreal, 7 Night Disko Bay and Inuit villages ex Kangerlussuaq, Greenland Return

This PONANT itinerary is your chance to embark on an 8-day expedition cruise to Greenland. In Kangerlussuaq, aboard Le Boréal, you will embark for an unforgettable journey in the heart of the most magnificent Arctic landscapes.

After a first port of call at Sisimiut, Greenland’s second-largest city, a colourful port nestling between undulating hills, the world of ice will open up to you during this cruise along Greenland’s northwestern coast. You will then set sail north for Qeqertarsuaq, one of just two villages on Disko Island. In the heart of this spectacular and fragile nature, enjoy the breath-taking views of grandiose and varied landscapes.
