Framed by striking fjords and backed by snow-dusted peaks, Nuuk offers a refined glimpse into the soul of Greenland. As the ship approaches, the city reveals itself in layers—colourful houses dotting the rocky shoreline, crisp Arctic air scented with sea spray, and an atmosphere where nature and culture meet in quiet harmony.
Nuuk’s waterfront promenade invites you to stroll amid contemporary sculptures and avant-garde architecture, while the surrounding wilderness whispers of ancient Inuit traditions. Culinary experiences here lean into the region’s bounty, offering
delicacies infused with Nordic flair and local essence. Whether admiring modern Greenlandic art or taking in panoramic views from a coastal trail, Nuuk surprises with its elegance and authenticity. At this destination, the Arctic spirit is not only preserved but elevated.

Today’s Excursion – Nuuk Highlights
We embarked on a comprehensive bus tour of Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, home to more than a third of the country’s population,
exploring its rich history and modern developments. We began at the historic Colonial Harbour, home to Hans Egede’s House, the oldest Greenland building dating back to 1721. WE journeyed through the vibrant downtown area, passing the Parliament House and the Katuaq Cultural Centre, a hub for arts and culture. The tour extended to the suburbs of Nuussuaq and Qinngorput, showcasing contemporary residential areas and Scandistyle apartments. Along the way, view the Atlantic Harbour, the skiing centre at Mount Quassussuaq, Nuuk Airport, and the University of Greenland, Ilisimatusarfik.

Where in the World Are We?
We are in Nuuk, Greenland, the capital of Greenland.
NUUK (GODTHAB), GREENLAND
Greenland’s economic and social hub
In the bustling capital city of Greenland, you could be forgiven for forgetting you are in such a vast and isolated country. Nuuk is Greenland’s economic and social hub, home to more than a third of Greenland’s population, and although it feels like a world capital, scratch the surface. A uniquely Greenlandic character can be found underneath.
Nuuk Cathedral overlooks the gorgeous old Colonial Harbour district and the Greenland National Museum, resting place of the legendary Qilakitsoq mummies, the true highlight of the museum’s archaeological collection. Above the Colonial Harbour sits downtown Nuuk, with lines of Scandistyle apartments, a bustling shopping district, the Greenlandic Parliament, Nuuk City Hall (which welcomes visitors to see its artwork), and even outdoor cafes selling locally produced food and beer. These nods to modernity compete for space with local artisan boutiques, the meat market selling the catch from Nuuk’s vast fjord-lands, and the stunning Katuaq Cultural Centre, where blockbuster movies, as well as local and foreign performers, entertain the people of Nuuk.
Although Nuuk has long been a melting pot of Danish and Greenlandic ideas, this is a city where Greenland displays its sophistication, with the Country’s only traffic lights, roundabouts, and University. Most of all, expect to find many friendly people who are proud of who they are, and equally proud of the city they call home.

Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, offers a unique culinary experience that blends traditional Greenlandic dishes with modern influences. Local cuisine features fresh seafood like halibut, cod, and shrimp, often served grilled, smoked, or in traditional dishes like “suaasat” (a hearty fish or seal broth). Traditional specialties include “mattak” (whale skin with blubber), musk ox, and reindeer meat, often served with potatoes and vegetables. Modern Nuuk restaurants also serve international cuisine, including Asian and European dishes, often incorporating local ingredients. Visitors can enjoy these flavors at local eateries, cafes, and restaurants, experiencing the city’s cultural heritage through its food.
Today’s Excursion – Nuuk On Foot
We begin at Katuaq Cultural Center, a Greenlandic art and culture hub. Stroll through Nuuk’s historic quarter,
passing the Parliament House, where Greenland’s self-governance is exercised. Explore the open-air market, Kalaaliaraq,
where vendors sell fresh local produce. Visit the Nuuk Cathedral, a red wooden church dating back to 1849. At the
old Colonial Harbour, discover Hans Egede’s House, the oldest Greenland building constructed in 1721. Conclude at the
The Greenland National Museum, home to the Qilakitsoq mummies, offers insights into Inuit and Norse history.
Island Cruise
We embarked on a leisurely boat tour through Nuuk’s pristine wilderness, navigating the intricate waterways of the world’s second-largest fjord system, Nuup Kangerlua. As we cruise gently, we immerse ourselves in the serene beauty of towering
mountains, cascading waterfalls, and glistening icebergs. This region is home to diverse wildlife; keep an eye out for seals
lounging on ice floes, seabirds soaring overhead, and, with a bit of luck, majestic whales breaching the surface. The boat offers
comfortable indoor seating, but stepping onto the open deck provides an unparalleled connection to the surrounding nature,
allowing you to fully appreciate the untouched landscapes that define Greenland’s capital. This tour was perfect for those
seeking a tranquil escape into the heart of Arctic beauty.

Where in the World Are We?
We are in Reykjavik, Iceland.
REYKJAVÍK, ICELAND
The Smoky Bay.
Reykjavik stands as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of its people. Nestled on the island’s southwestern coast, this charming city is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.
Reykjavik’s creation can be traced back to Iceland’s settlement period in the 9th century. Ingólfur Arnarson, an intrepid Norse chieftain, is said to have established the first permanent settlement in the area, marking the city’s birth. “Reykjavik” translates to “Smoky Bay,” derived from the steam rising from the hot springs that dot the region.
As the centuries unfolded, Reykjavik became a humble village into a bustling metropolis. In 1786, the city was designated as Iceland’s official trading town, which spurred its growth and development. However, it wasn’t until Iceland gained independence from Denmark in 1944 that Reykjavik truly blossomed into the vibrant capital, and it is still today.
Despite its relative youth as a capital city, Reykjavik boasts a rich historical tapestry. Visitors can immerse themselves in the city’s heritage at the National Museum of Iceland, which showcases artifacts spanning the nation’s history, from Viking settlements to modern times. The majestic Hallgrímskirkja, an iconic Lutheran church, stands tall as a symbol of national identity and offers breathtaking views of the city from its tower.
Reykjavik’s vibrant cultural scene is a source of pride for its residents. The city hosts numerous festivals annually, celebrating literature, music, and the arts. The renowned Reykjavik International Film Festival draws filmmakers from around the globe, while the Iceland Airwaves music festival showcases local and international talent.
Nature weaves its way into the fabric of Reykjavik, providing an enchanting backdrop to city life. The neighboring geothermal fields and hot springs, such as the famous Blue Lagoon, offer a tranquil retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation. The nearby Mount Esja beckons adventure seekers, enticing them to embark on exhilarating hiking trails.
In recent years, Reykjavik has gained international recognition for its commitment to sustainability and renewable energy. The city is at the forefront of environmentally conscious practices, harnessing the power of geothermal energy and fostering a culture of eco-friendly living.
Reykjavik’s creation and history are a testament to the indomitable spirit of its people and the enchanting beauty of its surroundings. This small capital city, with its captivating tales and awe-inspiring landscapes, invites visitors to embark on a journey through time, exploring the rich cultural heritage and vibrant spirit that define Reykjavik.

REYKJAVÍK, ICELAND
The land of ice, fire, and natural wonder
The capital of Iceland’s land of ice, fire, and natural wonder, Reykjavik, is a city like no other, blossoming among some of the world’s most vibrant and violent scenery. Home to two-thirds of Iceland’s population, Reykjavik is the island’s only real city. It is a welcoming and walkable place, full of bicycles gliding along boulevards or battling the wind when it rears up. Fresh licks of paint brighten the streets, and an artistic and creative atmosphere embraces studios, galleries, and the kitchens where an exciting culinary scene is burgeoning. Plot your adventures in the city’s hip bars and cozy cafes, or waste no time venturing to Iceland’s outdoor adventures.
Reykjavik’s buildings stand together – below the whip of winter’s winds – with the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja church, with its bell tower rising resolutely over the city. Iceland’s largest church’s design echoes the lava flows that have shaped this remote land and boasts a clean and elegant interior. The Harpa Concert Hall’s sheer glass facade helps it assimilate into the landscape, mirroring the city and harbor. Its LED lights shimmer in honor of Iceland’s most excellent illuminated performance – the northern lights.
Walk in the crusts between continents, feel the spray from bursts of geysers, and witness the enduring power of Iceland’s massive waterfalls. Whether you want to sizzle away in the earth-heated geothermal pools or hike to your heart’s content, you can do it all from Reykjavik – the colorful capital of this astonishing outdoor country.

Today’s Excursion – The Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon
During this panoramic excursion to Thingvellir, Gullfoss, and Geysir, we experience the spectacular natural wonders of the Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon.
Reykjavik, Mosfellsheidi Heath and Almannagja
We drove to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to the Viking Parliament and Iceland’s geological and historical heritage. We viewed Almannagja, where Europe’s oldest national legislative assembly, the Icelandic Althing, was established in 930 and convened every summer for nearly eight centuries.
Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, and Geysir Geothermal Area
Thingvellir National Park is an UNESCO World Heritage Site of the magnificent Gullfoss Waterfall, Iceland’s most beautiful waterfall.
Then we drove to the Geysir geothermal area with its many hot springs. The most active one, Strokkur, spouts every few minutes.
Next was a visit to see and feed some Icelandic horses, and onto an extinct volcano with a lake in the middle.
The Blue Lagoon
We drove through the rugged lava fields of the Reykjanes peninsula towards the Blue Lagoon and stopped for approximately two hours to indulge in these waters. The Blue Lagoon owes its existence to the nearby geothermal power plant. The on-site facilities offered changing-room facilities, a tax-free shop, and a café. The water of the Lagoon is a steamy 98-102°F (36-39°C), mineral-rich and reputed for its healing properties. The blue colour of the water, the steam, and the thirteen-foot-high lava wall surrounding the Lagoon succeed in creating a unique atmosphere. This natural and very popular health spa is now a major attraction in the region and is considered one of the island’s most visited places.

Iceland’s Capital of the North
Iceland’s Capital of the North is the gateway to a thrilling land of roaring waterfalls, soaring volcanoes, and glorious wildlife. Although it lies a mere 60 miles from the Arctic Circle, Akureyi blossoms with a bright, cosmopolitan feel and explodes into life during the summer, when its outdoor cafes and open-air bathing spots fill up with visitors ready to immerse themselves in Iceland’s cinematic scenery.
Feel the thundering impact of Iceland’s celebrated natural wonders shaking your bones at Godafoss Waterfalls, known as the ‘Waterfalls of the Gods’. Here, the Skjálfandafljót River unleashes a colossal torrent of water over charcoal-black rocks below. Or, find some peace at the Botanical Gardens, which opened in 1957 and offers space for contemplation amid plants that bloom with unexpected vibrancy, even at this northerly latitude.
The Lutheran, Akureyrarkirkja Church, rises like a grand church organ and is the town’s most striking landmark. The 112-step climb is worth the effort to see light flooding through its narrow stained-glass windows, spreading colorful patchworks
across the interior. Magic and mythology are essential elements of Icelandic folklore, and you’ll even bump into giant sculptures of grizzled, child-snatching trolls on the town’s high street.
Or, meet more earthly – but no less magical – creatures in the waters around Akureyi, where immense blue whales cruise by, and dolphins playfully leap.

Akureyri, Kjarnaskógur Forest, Guided Walk, Towering Trees, Brunná Stream, Sun Clock
The Kjarnaskógur Forest is a once-barren landscape transformed into a thriving forest and a testament to successful reforestation efforts. We marveled at the lush, green surroundings and towering trees, breathed in the crisp Icelandic air, and soaked in the tranquility of diverse woodlands.
The Kjarnaskógur Forest is also paradise for birdwatchers, with over 210 recorded bird species, including those found in the
adjoining Kjarnaskógur Wetlands, a haven for bird enthusiasts. Please keep your eyes peeled for colourful avian residents like the rare, strict primrose and bluebell, and learn about their habitats from your expert guide. The wild vegetation in the woods is
