Greenland and Wild Labrador

Natural history and culture – journey from West Greenland to Newfoundland | 19 Days

This is a sailing of staggering geographic diversity covering over 2,200 nautical miles from the head of Sondre Stromfjord in Greenland all the way to St. John’s, capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, stopping at four Canadian national parks along the way.

We set out along the western coast of Greenland, calling at Nuuk, one of the world’s northernmost capital cities, and exploring one of the many fjords for which the area is famed. Across Davis Strait in Canada, we visit the stunning Torngat Mountains National Park—the first and only national park in Canada to be staffed completely by Inuit. Here, at the edge of the Canadian Shield, massive mountains slope down to the Labrador Sea, forming one of the most dramatic coastlines in Canada. Northern Labrador has to be seen to be believed, and we will do just that with daily Zodiac expeditions and excursions.

As we move further south,  we’ll pay our respects to North America’s Viking visitors at L’Anse aux Meadows  before ending our voyage in historic St. John’s.

Highlights include:

Crossing the Arctic Circle while sailing a spectacular Greenlandic fjord

Hiking the pristine wilds of the Torngat Mountains National Park

Searching for polar bear and black bear along the rugged Labrador coast
