This expedition connects two fascinating Arctic worlds: Greenland’s glacial coast and Labrador’s remote geography. The journey begins by crossing the Arctic Circle in Kangerlussuaq Fjord and visiting Nuuk, the world’s northernmost capital and home to the famous Qilakitsoq mummies. Crossing the Davis Strait, the voyage enters the spiritual heart of Labrador: Torngat Mountains National Park. Here, guided by the Nunatsiavut Inuit, travelers will discover deep fjords, alpine tundra, and the legacy of the shamans who gave these lands the name "place of spirits."
The itinerary stands out for its historical and natural depth. From the poignant mission station at Hebron to L’Anse aux Meadows—North America’s only authenticated Norse settlement—the journey is a lesson in resilience and discovery. As the Ocean Nova sails south, jagged peaks give way to boreal forests and the picturesque fishing villages of Newfoundland. It is an adventure designed for those seeking to understand the connection between land, sea, and the cultures that have flourished on these wild shores for millennia.
