Summer’s coming, and for some, it’s beach blanket bingo bliss while the other half see only hot weather, steamy sidewalks, thick air and bad hair. If you’re a card-carrying member of the latter group, there’s a ship about to set sail due north on 02 Aug that has a cabin waiting with your name on it. Where? Greenland.
The Clipper Adventure, your trusted expedition vessel on this cool journey, is reminiscent of the great ocean liners of yesterday…lots of varnished wood, brass, international cuisine, club room, but outfitted also with state of the art navigation and safety technology, and modern rooms with outside views and en-suite bathrooms.
You’ll begin your journey at Lancaster Sound, a veritable wildlife super-highway connecting the North Atlantic to the Arctic Ocean, passing majestic fjords, ice floes and the dramatic mountains of Greenland along the way. Once docked in this intriguing land of ice and snow. Adventures abound in the form of tundra hikes for wildflowers and indigenous birds. Perhaps one of the most important aspects however relates to culture and the opportunity to visit with the Inuit people, who live in some of the world’s most remote communities. You’ll marvel at their mix of ancient and modern, their stories of overcoming hardship, and their inherent respect and understanding of the Arctic ecosystem as well as the contrast between their compatriots’ style of life in West Greenland. Surprised? Great, imagine how you’ll feel when you’re actually there.
