GROUP TRIP- GREENLAND, August 2026

I have managed to secure an EXCLUSIVE GROUP DEAL for this once-in-a-lifetime trip, with discounts up to 30%! You won’t see prices this low again

Join me on an adventure to the majestic Arctic- and experience some of the most remote places & cultures on the planet

Over 13 unforgettable days we’ll explore South Greenland aboard a luxury polar expedition ship, seeing glaciers, fjords and an incredible array of wildlife in their natural habitat – all while enjoying the magical midnight sun.

Even better, you’ll leave the ship EVERY SINGLE DAY in Greenland, something almost no other cruise companies can offer. You’ll get to experience this remote and magical place in a way few others are ever able to.

💫 Here’s what makes this trip so special:

• Leave the ship every single day for Zodiac cruises, hikes and landings
• Take to the skies with included helicopter flightseeing and heli‑hiking, giving you access to places most travellers never reach.
• Travel with expert guides who’ll help us spot wildlife, capture amazing photos and bring Greenland’s landscapes and culture to life through zodiac rib rides, landings, cultural visits, presentations and wildlife spotting.

And I’ve managed to negotiate us deals off all cabins, including the balcony ones 🎉

Seriously, if Greenland is somewhere you’d like to visit, NOW is the time! You’ll not find an offer like this again.

And if, like me, Greenland has never really been on your radar before, just LOOK at these photos!

Why This Trip Stands Out

✅ Prime wildlife season: August is one of the best times to see whales, eagles, and other Arctic wildlife in this region.
✅ Almost continuous daylight: Soak up the magical midnight sun and make the most of every day (don’t worry- there are blackout curtains in the cabins!)
✅ Luxury expedition ship: Travel on Ultramarine, one of the most advanced and comfortable exploration vessels in the world. I’ve been on this ship twice now and it’s utterly brilliant. The crew and guides are fantastic.
✅ Small ship, big adventure: With under 199 passengers on board, you’ll enjoy up to two off‑ship excursions every day – something larger cruise ships simply can’t offer. These excursions include Zodiac cruises, shore landings and even helicopter adventures! 🚁
✅ Helicopter experiences INCLUDED in the price: Yes, you can enjoy these breathtaking scenic flights for FREE. Fly over glaciers, land on the Greenland Ice Sheet and even choose to go heli‑hiking to remote alpine ridges few travellers ever see. (Optional flights/ experiences may also be available for additional cost)
✅ Expert guidance: A team of world‑class guides and wildlife experts will be on hand, constantly scouting for sightings and sharing fascinating stories about the region.

✅ Cultural immersion: Visit small Greenlandic communities and explore the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site, rich with Inuit and Norse history.
✅ Responsible travel: Quark Expeditions is a proud member of the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO), committed to protecting these fragile environments.
✅ Travel together: You’ll be part of my Wandering Bird group, so you’ll have built‑in friends and support, even if you’re travelling solo.

About the Adventure

I’m so excited to be able to offer this trip – and to join you on it!

We’ll sail along the south and west coasts of Greenland, exploring glaciers, fjords and the incredibly varied wildlife that call this region home.

We’ll meet in Reykjavík, Iceland, where we board Ultramarine, our home for the next 13 days. From there we cross to Greenland, with each day bringing new discoveries – from Zodiac landings on untouched shores to helicopter landings on the Ice Sheet and hikes to hidden alpine viewpoints. While we cruise, there will be plenty of food and drink to enjoy (even for those with severe dietary requirements), plus briefings and talks to educate us about the places we’ll be visiting.

The map shown above is a suggested itinerary – the exact route will depend on weather, sea state and ice conditions – but every stop is chosen to give us the best opportunities for wildlife, stunning landscapes and fascinating culture, including visits to Greenlandic communities and historic Norse sites within the Kujataa UNESCO region.

🦌 Wildlife highlights: Greenland is home to reindeer, walrus and the vast Greenland Ice Sheet (the world’s second‑largest ice mass). August is prime whale‑watching season, with chances to spot:

• Humpback whales
• Minke whales
• Fin whales
• Greenland whales

You might also see oceanic dolphins like white beaked dolphins, orcas (killer whales), and pilot whales.

📸 A photographer’s dream: Whether you’ve got a professional camera or just your phone, you’ll come away with incredible shots. And don’t worry if you’re not confident – you’ll also receive a beautifully compiled photo journal from the ship’s photographer, filled with hundreds of photos and memories of your adventure. 💖

🛳️ The Ship: Ultramarine

This adventure takes place aboard Ultramarine – the exact ship I’ve personally sailed on in both Svalbard and Antarctica.

It’s a new, state‑of‑the‑art expedition vessel packed with features designed for comfort and adventure.

Ship Highlights

✅ Friendly, professional crew: I’ve never met a team so genuinely helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming.

✅ Small ship, big access: With under 200 passengers, Ultramarine can do things larger ships can’t – like Zodiac landings on remote shores, getting closer to wildlife, and operating within sensitive areas that bigger vessels aren’t permitted to enter.

✅ Built for exploration: Ultramarine carries two twin‑engine helicopters, giving you access to experiences few other ships can offer – heli‑hiking on remote ridges, flightseeing over glaciers, and even landings on the Greenland Ice Sheet.

✅ 360° viewing deck: You can walk all the way around the ship, so when someone spots whales or other wildlife, you can get there in seconds.

✅ Onboard comforts:

• Spa and sauna with huge picture windows (yes, you can watch icebergs drift by while you unwind!)
• Gym, bar, presentation theatre, two fantastic restaurants, shop and 24/7 reception
• Daily presentations from the Expedition Team to bring Greenland’s wildlife, history and culture to life

🌱 Responsible travel:
One of the reasons I’m happy to partner with Quark is their strict adherence and respect for this incredible environment. Quark Expeditions are passionate about protecting the places they visit. The ship is eco‑friendly, they only land in approved areas, and they follow strict AECO guidelines to minimise disturbance to wildlife and the environment.

🍽️ Meals on Board

One thing I can promise: you won’t go hungry!

Meal times might shift depending on landings and wildlife sightings, but you’ll enjoy:

• Three delicious meals a day, with breakfasts and lunches usually buffet style, and dinners either buffet or plated.
• Snacks and treats are available all day, including an almost continuous tea/coffee station with biscuits and cakes.
• Soft drinks, wines, beer, and non‑premium spirits included during meals and bar hours. (And no, these aren’t the cheap and disgusting ones- the free drinks are really good!)
• Premium spirits, wines and champagne available for an additional charge, billed to your onboard account (no cash needed).

Most dietary needs can be accommodated if you let Quark know in advance. (The only exception is kosher meals, which can’t be provided.)

✨ Cabin Example

Standard Balcony Ensuite Cabin (photo above)
Bright, comfortable and perfect for watching the scenery as we sail – complete with private bathroom, daily housekeeping and those all‑important big windows to make the most of the views. The balcony is brilliant for sitting with a cup of tea and watching the incredible landscape (and whales!) just slip by.

🌒 Total Solar Eclipse – The Perfect Excuse to Arrive Early

To make this dream trip even more incredible, it departs just a few days after the total solar eclipse in August 2026.

The eclipse won’t be visible in the UK, but it will be visible in Iceland – right where our adventure begins.

✨ Why not turn this into a once‑in‑a‑lifetime double adventure?
Arrive in Iceland a few days early, witness a rare and breathtaking astronomical event, and then step aboard Ultramarine for your Greenland expedition. Honestly, if you’ve been looking for a reason to visit Iceland, this is it – you can do it all in one trip.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I come as a solo traveller?
Absolutely! You can either:

• Share a cabin and be paired with someone of the same gender and similar age, or
• Book your own cabin with a single supplement.
  Either way, you’ll be part of our Wandering Travel Tribe group, so you’ll have friends from day one.

How fit do I need to be?
Moderate fitness is plenty. You need to be able to get in and out of the Zodiacs if you want to go ashore. Some people simply choose to stay onboard and enjoy the scenery – there’s no pressure to join every landing. (And don’t worry about getting in/ out of the zodiacs. There are 3 people helping each time. If you can walk up/ down stairs, you can do that)

Do I have to do all the activities?
Not at all. You can pick and choose each day – maybe skip a landing to relax in the spa or enjoy the views from the deck.

🤢 I get seasick… can I still enjoy it?
Me too, my lovely! I was nervous before my first trip to Antarctica, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I feared. I used Seabands and took tablets, and there’s always a qualified expedition doctor onboard. The crew are brilliant at finding calm waters whenever possible, and the ship is designed to cross the fearful Drake Passage. So even though we’re the other end of the planet, it’s still designed to deal with whatever we encounter with safety and stability.

Do I need to be a serious photographer?
Not at all. I only had my iPhone and a GoPro on my first trip and still came home with amazing photos. But if you do have a “proper” camera, you’ll find endless opportunities to practise and improve.
