THE DAY-BY-DAY ITINERARY
We'll board the ship at the end of the day in Ilulissat, located right beside the spectacular Ilulissat Icefjord.
Ilulissat is the third-largest city in Greenland and most certainly the ultimate kingdom of ice—its name means "Icebergs" in the Kalaallisut language. Dating back to 1741—when it was first established as a trading post—Ilulissat has expanded considerably. Presently, it is home to a museum recounting the life and achievements of local explorer Knud Rasmussen and the new Icefjord Centre, which aims to educate visitors about the area and the impacts of climate change.
