Day 1 - Reykjavik

Welcome to Reykjavik, the world’s northernmost capital city and the beginning of your journey. It’s a delightful introduction to Iceland’s unique and creative culture. 

This afternoon, you’ll meet the Captain and crew of your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse. Be welcomed on board with a glass of Champagne and explore your spacious suite. Meet your fellow guests for a drink in the Sky Bar as you toast to the start of an epic journey. 

Please book your flight to arrive into Reykjavik prior to 02:00 PM.

Day 2 - Dynjandivogur Waterfall

Today, prepare to feel freezing mist on your face as you admire the jewel of the Westfjords. Appropriately nicknamed ‘the thunder’ as it tumbles down seven tiers over 100 metres, Dynjandi Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. Weather permitting, marvel at nature’s grandeur and keep an eye out for local wildlife as you sail through this remote corner of the country. 

Day 3 - Isafjordur

Characterized by deep, blue fjords, separated by flat-topped mountains, Ísafjörður is the largest settlement in the Westfjords of Iceland. Explore remote Iceland from one of the most stunning towns in the country, with old timber framed houses and architecture.  Bursting with a wealth of wildlife, keep your eyes peeled for birds and Arctic foxes on the cliffs, seals on the coast and whales cruising in the surrounding ocean. 

Day 4 - At Sea

Enjoy a relaxing day at sea as you make your way west towards Greenland. Perhaps ask your butler to bring breakfast to your suite, to be enjoyed as you watch the icy ocean slip by from your private verandah. Then explore some of the indulgent spaces on board, from the welcoming Observation Lounge to the indulgent Senses Spa# with its sauna and heated therapy lounge.  

Join the experts from the Discovery Team for a lecture or talk about upcoming ports, then sit back with your favourite cocktail for an evening of entertainment in the state-of-the-art-theatre. 

Day 5 - Fridtjof Nansen Halvo Glacier

Unlike the rest of Greenland, the Sermersooq municipality (where the Fridtjof Nansen peninsula is located) is smooth and unbroken terrain. Here, the magnificent Greenland Ice Sheet flows right to the shore. The peninsula gets its name from famed explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who launched his pioneering Greenland venture from Umivik Bay. This 1888 expedition confirmed that Greenland was completely covered in ice. 

Over the next seven days in Greenland, countless adventures await, from exhilarating whale watching to thrilling kayak excursions and invigorating polar plunges, promising unforgettable experiences. 

Day 6 - Skjoldungen Fjord

Glaciers calving, rivers flowing, towering rock walls and colourful forests - the Skjoldungen Fjord is spectacular. Look up to admire huge crevasses and freestanding pillars of ice standing silhouetted against the blue Greenland sky. On the lower slopes, Arctic wildflowers will bloom amongst the dwarf birch and willow trees. Join the Discovery Team on the Observation Deck as nimble Scenic Eclipse weaves through numerous icebergs in this narrow channel and learn about the archaeological remains that have been found in this region, suggesting people lived here over 4,000 years ago. 

Day 7 - Cruising Prince Christian Sound > Herjolfsnes

Carving a breathtaking,naturally formed path that separates the mainland from the islands of Cape Farewell, Prince Christian Sound is one of Greenland's most scenic waterways and a highlight of any cruise in the region. Over a hundred kilometers in length, and flanked by magnificent glaciers and granite cliffs, this narrow passage is only accessible during summer, when the largest ice blockades melt away.  

With her elegant design and state-of-the-art technology, Scenic Eclipse brings you closer to the towering glaciers, icebergs and imposing peaks for unmissable photo opportunities.

Day 8 - At Sea

After a restorative night of rest in your ultra-luxury suite, wake on your own time. The day is yours to spend exactly as you wish. 

Take the time to acquaint yourself with the exceptional range of facilities on board your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht. Each indoor and outdoor space has been carefully curated with you in mind. Relax and slow down to the rhythm of the ocean, perhaps using the complimentary binoculars in your suite to scan the horizon in search of whales.  

Day 9 - Nuuk

Clinging to a jagged peninsula on the southwest coast of Greenland, Nuuk is the island’s capital and largest city. The area has been inhabited since 2200BC, though the present town was only established in 1728.  

Nuuk’s colourful wooden buildings are a visual standout on your guided tour of the Old Harbour. The picturesque site reveals history and traditions that remain strong today, making Nuuk a hub of modern Nordic culture. Discover innovative architecture inspired by the Northern Lights and restaurants showcasing local recipes and ingredients. 

Day 10 - Evighed Fjord

Enjoy a slow day cruising through Evighed Fjord, or ‘Eternity Fjord’, considered one of the most beautiful in Greenland. Stretching for more than 75 kilometres, you’ll be awed by the endless fields of ice glittering under the sun. Tall, jagged peaks threaded with glaciers rise straight up out of the calm blue waters. Many of the glaciers are very active and you will likely hear chunks of ice calving away and collapsing loudly into the ocean. In Evighed Fjord, you’ll feel the beauty and power of nature all around you. 

Day 11 - Disko Bay

Today, we arrive in the breathtaking Disko Bay, a true paradise for whales and Arctic wildlife. Here, shimmering icebergs of all shapes and sizes drift gracefully across the water, each one a stunning creation of the legendary Ilulissat Icefjord.

Stand in awe on the Observation Terrace or your private verandah, where you can marvel at the sheer grandeur of the surroundings. 

Discovery:
Weather permitting, explore with the Discovery Team by Zodiac, kayak, submersible^ or helicopter^. 

Day 12 - Ilulissat

Ilulissat is the main town on the Disko Bay, named from the Inuit word for ‘iceberg’. It’s famous for the large number of icebergs breaking away from the nearby Ilulissat Icefjord, a World Heritage-listed site. The Icefjord is the mouth of the vast Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier, one of the world’s fastest moving and most active glaciers, calving a remarkable 46 cubic kilometers of ice annually. Listen for the rumbling sounds in the distance as huge chunks of ice break from the glacier and tumble into the water below. 

Day 13 - At Sea

After days of exploration, enjoy some much-needed relaxation as you cruise the waters of West Greenland today. Towering cliffs and serene waters create a mesmerizing backdrop as you graze the day away. Scenic Eclipse’s all-inclusive premium beverages ensure you’ll find something that suits your taste perfectly. 

As this is your last full day on board, take some time for a dip in the temperature-controlled Vitality Pools, a treatment in the Senses Spa#, an aerial yoga class in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates studio or an exquisite tea in the Observation Lounge. 

Day 14 - Kangerlussuaq > Copenhagen

Your journey concludes this morning in the small town of Kangerlussuaq. After one final sumptuous breakfast on board, you’ll disembark your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht. Farewell the crew and your fellow guests, taking with you a wealth of memories from an unforgettable voyage. 

For the final part of your journey you will be transferred to Copenhagen for an overnight stay.
