Greenland and Iceland Explorer Cruise Voyages
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: Hurtigruten plans to restart expedition cruises in early 2021 with even stricter Covid-19 measures in place. This will include testing for all guests. Expedition cruises will only recommence where and when they believe it is safe. They will make decisions on each individual voyage, and update all booked guests on any changes. As of 03/08/2020, Hurtigruten has temporarily suspended all expedition sailings on MS Roald Amundsen, MS Fridtjof Nansen and MS Spitsbergen until further notice. In September it was decided to cancel all Antarctica departures for Winter 2020/21 season. Antarctic voyages will resume in October 2021.
Book early for a wide selection of Expedition Cruises in 2021, 2022 or 2023 and your flights from London will be included. (T&Cs apply)
BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE Offer: Book a NEW Hurtigruten voyage for travel in 2021, 2022 or 2023 to qualify. Cancel for ANY reason in the future and you'll get your deposit (less a small cancellation fee) back within 14 days. Book by 31 January 2021. (T&Cs apply)

Greenland is the largest island in the world and is unlike any landscape you’re likely to have seen before. Inuit culture is thriving and adapting to the changing times, and Greenlanders are a famously friendly people. Summer in Greenland starts in June and lasts until early September, and this is the best time to visit the island due to the temperate climate. In a place without a real road system, one of the best ways to get to know the island is by ship. Most expedition cruises to Greenland take place in these months because the melting ice makes it possible to navigate the fjords and bays along the coast. Watch this short video for more information on what to expect on a cruise around Greenland.
Several Greenland voyages commence in Reykyvik. If you want to explore more of Iceland you can add a few days pre-voyage (changes to the cost will apply). To see more cruises that incorporate Iceland, please see the Svalbard options. Note: we will update prices and offers on this site when regular sailings resume. In the meantime, please contact us for a quotation.
