The idea of the week
Wild Greenland with a capital city on the doorstep and direct international flights. Nuuk is lively and surprising, and the Godthåb Fjord behind it is one of the longest fjord systems in the world: humpbacks at the mouth, salmon and char in the rivers, a glacier coming straight off the ice sheet, and the ruins of the Norse farms at the end.
The days are the route we would suggest. On board, the captain sets the final one around the ice, the weather and the wildlife, and every week can be reshaped around your group.

Everything we know about Northern Europe: when to go, where the fleet is and the other weeks we have planned.

What the crew arrange along the way
The parts of the week that need a phone call before you arrive: tables, guides, instructors and the toys on deck.
The tender fleet
ARCTIC carries one of the largest tender fleets in charter: Zodiacs and RIBs for the glacier fronts and the whales, kayaks and paddleboards for the still mornings, dive gear and room for an ROV. Wherever she anchors, there is a way onto the water or the ice.
The polar plunge, then the hot tub
Someone always goes first. A swim in the fjord or among the ice, straight into the Jacuzzi on deck or the sauna, and a story you will tell for years.
A polar guide on board
We always recommend it. A full-time guide is what opens the doors: the orca days, the Sámi families, the farm dinners, the hidden beaches the guidebooks do not have. It is the Explorer level on ARCTIC's listing, and where we start every plan.

- Local hosts, skippers and restaurants

The helideck
A helicopter on board turns a glacier into a lunch stop. Landings on the ice, flights over the peaks, a dinner reached by air. Where it can fly depends on local permits, which we arrange before the charter.
- Glacier landings
- Flightseeing over the peaks and the ice
- Dinner reached by air
- Subject to local permits
More nights
Every week here is seven nights because that is how ARCTIC's programme runs, but any of them can grow. Two regions back to back is the trip of a lifetime: the fjords then the Arctic Circle, or Iceland then East Greenland.
