Sail above the Arctic Circle around Greenland, the world’s largest island and perhaps its best-kept secret, stepping ashore in remote, sparsely inhabited villages and ports inaccessible to large cruise ships. On this eight-night cruise aboard the newly renovated Exploris One (formerly Silversea Cruise Line’s Silver Explorer), travel in the company of expert naturalist guides who will share their insights on local culture, wildlife, and the impact of climate change on Greenland’s epic glaciers, which you see up close via enlightening cruises aboard Zodiacs. In a landscape dotted with vividly colorful, colonial-style houses and centuries-old Danish churches, meet residents and experts to experience local Inuit traditions.
