Fjords | Arctic, Iceland, Greenland & Norway


The experience of Greenland’s isolated yet stunning natural landscapes is truly something special. From the sheer thrill of Iceland’s volcanic wonders and Orkney’s mysterious Nordic past to all the drama of Greenland’s rugged natural wilderness. You’ll have the chance to witness the brilliant blue icebergs of Qooroq, admire the soaring mountains of Prins Christiansund and share the joy of exclusive song and dance performances from the people of Nanortalik.


Qaqortoq


Nanortalik


Qooroq Ice Fjord


Prins Christiansund


The first port of call on this highlight-packed voyage is Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik. An overnight stay in this small, but surprisingly vibrant, city allows ample time to explore its lively centre or perhaps head off to visit the famous three wonders of the Golden Circle: the Gullfoss Waterfall, the Strokkur Geysir and the Thingvellir National Park. This amazing volcanic adventure can be rounded off in style in the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon Spa.


Then Boudicca is off to discover the delights of Greenland, and the astonishing rugged splendour of this ancient land. The first day is spent cruising the immaculate waters of Prins Christiansund in the shadow of craggy peaks and imposing glaciers. The huge cliff formations that rise majestically from the shores of the Torssukátak Fjord will leave you utterly breathless.


Making landfall on Greenland’s shores for the first time at Qaqortoq, you’ll soon be immersed in the island’s spectacular scenery. Marvel at the town’s intriguing sculptures known as Stone & Man, or experience the tradition of Kaffe-Mik, where locals


celebrate an event by inviting friends and relatives for coffee, tea and cake. The lush flora and fauna of Narsarsuaq is next. A boat tour to the Qooroq Ice Fjord is an unmissable experience – the tons of ice that break away from the magnificent Qooroq Glacier every day create spectacular turquoise icebergs, and are a photographer’s dream. From these dazzling natural phenomena, you step back in time at Greenland’s most southerly town, Nanortalik. Here you get the chance to experience a rich slice of local life. The Open Air Museum showcases traditional clothing and kayaks, with song and dance shows staged exclusively for your visit. The final afternoon in this mesmerising land is spent cruising the jewel that is the Tasermiut Fjord.


Ancient echoes of Christian, Nordic and Celtic history are waiting to be discovered at your final destination of Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands. Kirkwall feels more Scandinavian than Scottish; the town’s cathedral was dedicated to Saint Magnus by the Norseman Earl Rögnvald Kali. Kirkwall has two excellent museums, the beautifully preserved Tankerness House, and a unique Italian chapel with a fascinating history.
