This will be our second cruise to beautiful Greenland, offering you an exclusive WPA small group expedition with just 10 adventurers (one zodiac) led by a professional WPA photo guide. Suitable for both novice and advanced photographers, as well as non-photographic partners, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with our experienced host company, Quark Expeditions. Guided by renowned adventure photographer Darran Leal, we will embark on a captivating journey to the western wilderness of Greenland. Our exciting adventure begins with a flight from Reykjavik, Iceland, followed by the cruise, after which we will return to Reykjavik. We also offer a linked Iceland adventure! During our cruise, we will explore the coast, navigating through calm waters while discovering majestic fjords and enchanting islands. This 13-day expedition showcases the finest highlights of Greenland’s west coast wilderness. Glide past immense glaciers and enjoy regular landings, all in the comfort of a state-of-the-art ship where every amenity awaits you. During the peak of summer, you’ll relish the endless sunny days, breathtaking landscapes, blue ice, and abundant wildlife sightings during this immersive adventure.
