Nuuk, Greenland's capital, is a surprisingly cosmopolitan hub where over a third of the country's people live. Its heart includes the Colonial Harbour, Nuuk Cathedral, and the Greenland National Museum, home to the Qilakitsoq mummies. Above are downtown apartments, shops, parliament, city hall, cafes, and Katuaq Cultural Centre. Despite its modern side, Nuuk remains distinctly Greenlandic, with local markets, the country's only traffic lights and university, and proud, welcoming residents.

Evighedsfjord (Eternity Fjord) is a 75-km fjord northeast of Kangaamiut in southwest Greenland. It branches and bends repeatedly, seeming to go on forever; Qingua Kujatdleq Glacier lies at its southeastern end. At the northwestern end, a U-shaped valley has seven glaciers from the mountains. The glaciers peaked around 1870 and have since advanced and retreated. Peaks exceed 2,000 m, the fjord is up to 700 m deep, snowline is 1,100 m, and the area is one of Greenland's best heli-skiing spots.

A place of vast Arctic horizons and rare stillness, Stromfjord Nordre offers a striking glimpse of Greenland's raw natural beauty. Glacial waters, rugged tundra and snow-streaked peaks create a dramatic backdrop, while the surrounding wilderness invites sightings of seabirds and other Arctic wildlife. It's a serene, elemental stop that captures the remote charm of Greenland at its most unspoiled.

Remote and wild, Kronprinsen Ejland offers a glimpse of Greenland's stark Arctic beauty, where soaring cliffs, icy waters and a vast, open horizon create a truly memorable scene. Cruise calls here are all about the landscape and the sense of isolation, with the chance to soak up the raw grandeur of the North and, if conditions allow, perhaps spot local wildlife in these pristine seas.

During the morning Silver Cloud will ply the Disko Bay en route to our destination along Disko Island's east coast. Our exploration of the Disko Bay area will head to an area north of the village of Qeqertarsuaq, which is named after Disko Island's local name -meaning "large island". With more than 3,300 sq. miles Disko Island is Greenland's second-largest island.

Uummannaq ("Heart-Shaped") is one of Greenland's most scenic towns: about 1,200 people on a rocky bluff below a striped mountain with heart-like twin peaks, surrounded by icebergs and fjord cliffs. Reachable only by helicopter or sea, winter ice also allows dog sleds or 4x4s to Qaarsut airport. It has crafts, a meat market, a multilingual museum, and nearby Santa's Castle.

Sailing from Nuuk, Eqip Sermia Glacier offers a raw Arctic spectacle of towering ice, blue-white cliffs and drifting bergs in a stark, unforgettable landscape. Here, the silence is broken only by the crack and thunder of shifting ice, making this a truly memorable Greenlandic highlight.

Ilulissat Icefjord, the "birthplace of icebergs," produces nearly 20 million tons of ice a day. "Ilulissat" means "icebergs" in Kalaallisut. The town is cold but often calm, has about 4,500 residents, and is Greenland's third-largest after Nuuk and Sisimiut. Locals say sled dogs may be nearly as numerous as people. It also has a local history museum in the former home of polar explorer Knud Rasmussen.

Sisimiut, Greenland's second city, is North America's largest Arctic city and a hub between the country's south and north. Home to a young, fast-growing population, it has been inhabited for 4,500+ years and grew into a trade center in the Danish Colonial Era. Sisimiut Museum preserves old buildings and artifacts. Known for skilled artisans, seafood processing, shipping, and KNI's base, it also offers hiking, fishing, sled dogs, snowmobiles, and the Polar Circle Marathon route to Kangerlussuaq.
