Greenland expedition cruise August 2025

I'm getting antsy about the lack of details for the trip though .... they say final details will be sent a month before departure. A MONTH. That's like 2 minutes!

Given they are selling excursions in Kangerlussuaq and Icefjord I'm guessing there's chunks of time there ... but how much, who knows? Can we organise our own tours then? No idea! The control freak in me is not happy!

Thanks for reminding me about the tours!

My guess is that we'll be at Ilullisat for the day and you could probably do their paid tours in the am and pm. I'd be dubious about taking any tour not organised by the cruise. You get stuck somewhere, you stay! But they do say to 'reach out' so I'll be making enquiries tomorrow

Reply from Albatross:

In Ilulissat, we offer three additional optional activities: a full-day excursion with a hiking option, AirZafari Flightseeing, and Icefjord Sailing. The Oqaatsut day hike is the longest activity, taking approximately 6–8 hours. If you choose to participate in the hike, there won’t be time for other activities. However, if you choose Flightseeing or Icefjord Sailing, you can do both, as they are scheduled to allow for participation in both experiences.

They sent me a PDF flyer, which I've attached - hope that works.

There is a weight limit for the flight

Have booked the boat trip at Ilullisat. Would do the flight except I'm too much of the 'fuller figure'

They say the Kangerlussuaq excursions would take place on arrival and departure (notwithstanding the published schedule doesn't seem to accommodate this), but with the flights yet to be scheduled, they can't guarantee these will run.

Would love to do the hike but $295USD is incredibly steep! May as well do the flight at that price. Wonder if you can 'combine' weight limits with someone else? Our group has 20-30kg spare each.

I can see a bunch of walking paths on my maps app so might DIY.
