Explore Greenland's wild coastline and meet the locals with TV presenter Ben Fogle
Watching huge icebergs float silently down a fjord into the open
sea will be just one of the unforgettable experiences on this
incredible eight-day trip to Greenland. With its dramatic Arctic
coastline of towering mountains, you'll be sure to create memories
to last forever. You will also have the chance meet one of the UK's
favourite TV presenters, adventurer Ben Fogle.
Ben has become a regular on our screens since appearing on
Castaway an unbelievable 20 years ago, turning up on
Countryfile, hosting Crufts and making the series Year
Of Adventures, among many others. Ben will share stories about
his career, including his transatlantic row with James Cracknell,
during up to three exclusive talks. He will also take part in a
private Q&A session, as well as join the included shore
excursions during your trip.
You will explore some of Greenland's most fascinating towns and get
a taste of its culture during exclusive events. You'll see the
magical Disko Bay and the town of Ilulissat, known as the 'city of
icebergs' and meet Qeqertarsuaq locals over coffee and cake.
Hang out with Ben Fogle
Ben Fogle will join the included shore excursions and give private
talks on-board MV Ocean Atlantic.
Explore local culture
You'll learn about Greenland's Inuit culture and in Disko Island's
main town, Qeqertarsuaq, you'll enjoy local music and dancing while
joining the locals for the traditional kaffemik (coffee and
cake).
See icebergs up close
Ilulissat means 'icebergs' in Greenland's Kalaallisut language and
that's exactly what you'll see in the country's third-largest city.
Skyscraper-sized icebergs flow down from the UNESCO-protected
Icefjord and you'll have the chance to hike south to explore the
Icefjord on foot, pay for an optional boat trip to take you into
the bay or hire a fixed-wing plane for an aerial view.
Cruise in style
The MV Ocean Atlantic carries just 198 passengers. You'll enjoy
excellent accommodation and delicious cuisine, plus there's a gym,
sauna, pool and Jacuzzi. Observation platforms and panorama lounges
let you make the most of the sublime views, and the stylish cabins
offer a high standard of comfort.
