Mandatory Hotel And Flight Package
Scoresby Sund is a very remote area on the coast of East Greenland. Due to the often rough seas between Iceland and Scoresby Sund and the time it takes to cross, we want to offer you the most comfortable experience and will arrange a charter flight and hotel package on your behalf.

Due to Greenland's ever changing weather and the nature of flying there we provide a hotel either side of the expedition so we can re-group. The exact take off time will be communicated on the evening before departure based on the flying conditions.

This Package includes:

1 pre-voyage night in a hotel at Keflavik ( Mariot KFL or equivalent) - this will be our meeting point.
Exclusive Secret Atlas charter flight Keflavik-Constable Point (Nerlerit Innat - Scoresbysund)
Exclusive Secret Atlas transfers to flight in-out
1 post-voyage night in a hotel at Keflavik ( Mariot KFL or equivalent)
This package will allow us to provide you with the best possible experience. The hotels before and after the expedition allow for any potential flight delays due to weather.


* The prices are per person in US Dollars, unless expressly specified in a different currency. In that case, payment will be in US dollars at the exchange rate of the day.
** Rates are correct at the time of publication. All prices will be re-confirmed by email at the time of booking.
NOTE: Embracing the unexpected is part of the legacy—and excitement—of expedition travel. When traveling in extremely remote regions, your expedition staff must allow the sea, the ice and the weather to guide route and itinerary details. This itinerary is a tentative outline of what you’ll experience on this voyage; please be aware that no specific itinerary can be guaranteed.
