Ilulissat, Greenland

Today we commence with a flight to Ilulissat, Greenland, nestled approximately 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle. It’s worth noting that Ilulissat’s runway is somewhat limited in length, measuring just under 3,000 feet. For the diverse range of aircraft in our group, some of which may require a longer runway, we’ve arranged a convenient commercial flight to Ilulissat, Greenland (not included), while others may opt for a self-flying approach. Ilulissat boasts accessibility to both massive icebergs and the polar ice cap. Nestled at the mouth of the 35-mile-long ice fjord, the town offers a picturesque setting surrounded by colossal ice formations from the renowned Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, the most productive in the northern hemisphere. Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring Ilulissat Icefjord, where gigantic icebergs and calving glaciers dominate the landscape, alongside quaint settlements, all highlighted by the mesmerizing Midnight Sun, casting its glow upon the ice until late into the night.

During our stay, we’ll enjoy a Glacier & Iceberg Cruise, sailing past a fascinating variety of floes and icebergs. The ice fjord, located close to Hotel Arctic, was included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in the summer of 2004.

On a clear day, the landscape is truly surreal. Hundreds of icebergs surround Ilulissat. They vary in shape from flattened hunks to jagged mountain peaks, and in size from small doghouses to mega-cruise ships and larger, and that’s just the part above the surface! The ice fjord contains one of the biggest and most active glaciers in the world. Its 3,000 square kilometer area advances at a rate of 20 meters per day. The glacier calves about 10% of the inland ice that is pressed out into the sea from Greenland, and there is nothing in the whole world that resembles it.

  • Hotel Arctic | 3 Nights
  • Breakfast and Dinner Daily | Lunch during the excursion

Hotel Arctic

The Hotel Arctic, located in Illulissat, Greenland, is the world’s most northerly hotel and is situated right on the edge of the Ilulissat Icefjord - a wonder of the world which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
