Later, take the chance to explore the Spedjesø, offering many activities such as an exhibition in the cultural center Taseralik, learning about heritage in the city museum or browsing traditional crafts from the Artists workshop.
After our exploration, we set sail, heading north towards Disko Bay. Cruising on magical fjords, we pass small villages and towns on the coast. Keep your eyes peeled from the observation deck in search of whales and dolphins. As we are now in the Arctic Circle, the nights will be bright, and you can spot gigantic icebergs from the nearby Ilulissat Icefjord floating by in the midnight sun.

Uummannaq. Wake up this morning 600km north of the Arctic Circle in Uummannaq, one of Greenland's most picturesque and sunny regions. Uummannaq means ‘place where the heart is’ and an impressive 1175m high heart-shaped mountain towers over this town which is located on a small island. There's time to explore the town before heading back to the ship for lunch. From the town there is an extraordinary vista comprising the island’s 1,000-meter tall rock faces, the snow-covered peaks on Nuussuaq peninsula to the south, and out across the fjord.

Meals:1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
OverNight:Ocean Albatros Ship
day 6 - Ilulissat
Ilulissat is Greenland’s third largest town and its name literally translates to 'icebergs' in Greenlandic. In Disko Bay, which is located just off the coast of Ilulissat, gigantic icebergs rise from the freezing waters which have earned Ilulissat, the name of 'the Iceberg Capital'. These icebergs come from the Icefjord, which is located a half hour’s hike south of Ilulissat.
Today there's an optional boat trip to the Icefjord (optional and subject to an additional charge). The journey takes about two and a half hours in total, a great opportunity to take a closer look at the amazing ice-sculpted scenery. There is also an opportunity to arrange an optional flightseeing excursion over the Icefjord in a fixed wing aircraft.
Later in the day we leave Ilulissat behind and head out of Disko Bay to begin our return journey south.
Meals:1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
OverNight:Ocean Albatros Ship
day 7 - Itilleq
Ilulissat - Itilleq. Our port of call today is the tiny remote settlement of Itilleq. Itilleq, meaning "the Crossing Place from the Sea," is a small village north of the Arctic Circle, nestled among Greenland's mountains and fjords. It lies within the Aassivisuit-Nipisat UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its rich Inuit hunting heritage and Greenland's habitation history.
Colourful houses have replaced traditional turf homes and hide tents, life in this Greenlandic village remains much the same as when the Inuit first arrived. The locals rely on the water and ice as their highways, with the sea and tundra providing sustenance for thousands of years. Arctic char, reindeer, and muskoxen are abundant and typical catches in the area.
