new Explorer voyages where we go urther north with new exciting landings and excursions. Both voyages

have almost the same itinerary, but the 14-day journey gives you more time to explore the Oqaatsut

surroundings. These voyages will give you an authentic experience of Greenland.

grounds or centuries. The settlement liesat N72 47 and W 56 10 in Melville Bay in
