HX Hurtigruten Expeditions offers an unparalleled 14-night exploration of the serene and majestic landscapes of Greenland, journeying through the world's largest national park. Departing from Reykjavík on the MS Fram, explorers are treated to the vibrant hues of Iceland's capital before venturing into the icy wonders of Greenland. This expedition takes guests through dramatic fjords, such as Rodefjord and Rypefjord, and to remote islands and inlets like Hurry Inlet and Danmark Island. Notably, the expedition crosses into the pristine Northeast Greenland National Park, offering an unmatched opportunity to witness untouched wilderness, from imposing glaciers to diverse wildlife habitats.
Concluding the expedition back in Reykjavík, guests return with renewed perspectives, having experienced some of the most stunning natural vistas the Arctic has to offer. The expedition promises a blend of awe-inspiring landscapes and cultural experiences, ensuring a profound journey for adventurers eager to explore the Earth's northernmost edges.
Reykjavík, Iceland: Reykjavík, the vibrant nerve centre of Iceland, is home to half of the island's population. Nestled on a bay and shaded by the ever-changing hues of Mount Esja, the city offers a colourful spectacle with its concrete houses adorned in bright colours and topped with vivid red, blue, and green roofs. Unlike its almost treeless landscape, Reykjavík boasts tall, native birches, rowans, and willows, along with imported aspens, pines, and spruces. The town’s name, derived from the Icelandic words for smoke and bay, reflects its misty origins when Norseman Ingólfur Arnarson landed here in AD 874. Today, geothermal hot springs provide natural heating for most homes. While this eco-friendly solution avoids air pollution, it does leave a slight sulphur scent in the water. Reykjavík can be expensive, akin to major European cities. However, the Reykjavík City Card offers unlimited bus travel, access to city pools, parks, zoos, and museums, making it a cost-effective option for visitors.
