Seven spacious en suite cabins sleep up to 12 guests and a saloon-style dining room and bar is at the centre of life on board providing a warm, inviting space with a classic maritime aesthetic.

Greenland is the world’s largest island that isn’t a continent, spanning 2.16 million square kilometres (836,330 square miles) including its offshore islands. Nearly 80% is blanketed by ice, yet the ice-free land, about the size of Sweden, still reveals dramatic landscapes. With just 56,480 inhabitants (2017 estimate), it remains one of the most sparsely populated places on Earth.
