Greg Mortimer
AE Expeditions charts voyage to Greenland’s northern coast
AE Expeditions has launched an itinerary that includes the northernmost tip of Greenland. The line’s Greg Mortimer ship will depart Reykjavik on August 15 on the East Greenland Explore tour. The exact programme will depend on the weather, but the sailing aims to head north towards Kronprins Christian Land, where the expedition team will design daily activities based on the conditions and wildlife-viewing opportunities.
AE Expeditions said the location is “not frequented by expedition cruises”, supporting its claim that it “pushes the boundaries of discovery to provide unique, immersive experiences”. The cruise costs from £9,265, based on two adults sharing a Stateroom Twin room, and includes overnight accommodation prior to embarkation, all meals, drinks with dinner, all shore excursions, lectures and transfers.
