NEW! National Geographic Traveler has just named this voyage one of its 50 Tours of a Lifetime. To land on this prestigious list, our expedition had to be:
“[One of the] most authentic, most innovative, most immersive, best-guided, and most sustainable tours.”
Of course, we’ve been saying this for quite some time… but it’s nice to have outside endorsement! This cruise, encompassing three Arctic islands (Iceland, Greenland and Spitsbergen), is a Quark exclusive, not available from any other tour provider. Join us in August/September, and explore the magnificent northeast coast of Greenland with its icy fjords, rugged coastline and massive glaciers. Along the way you'll see plenty of Arctic wildlife, including musk oxen, polar bears, walrus and seals.

Reviews for this expedition
High Arctic Explorer
The highlights of this trip for me were the barren, stark, amazing vistas of the High Arctic and the ingenuity and resilience of the Inuit people. I was also in awe of being on Beechey Island.

Every hour on the ship brings a new highlight, but a stand-out for me on this trip was an unexpected day-long paddle and hike in Sisimiut Fjord, which was not only stunningly beautiful, but tested my endurance as well.
