Sail Greenland to Iceland

Duration: 17 days
View Dates

This sail expedition from Greenland to Iceland is an epic mix of blue water and coastal sailing with lots of exploring ashore.

An extraordinary chance to sail between Greenland and Iceland mixing blue water and coastal sailing with wild beautiful nature. 

Set sail for Iceland. A spectacular voyage to Iceland on a family run tall ship where you are the guest crew. No experience needed.

Starting form Greenland, sailing to Iceland. A proper crossing at the end of the season. Teamwork is what it takes, making sure you are well rested for your watches. You will enjoy some of the most spectacular Northern light displays as you sail on the ocean with no light pollution what soever.

The nutritious waters around Greenland attract many sea mammals as well as birds. The many types of whales all come to feast on the krill and plankton. Ashore and on the pack ice, the king of the Arctic can be found. The polar bear hunts for seal and tracks the shorelines in search of a meal.

But you will first get your sea legs exploring off the West and South coast of Greenland. If the winds are favorable and you arrive in Iceland early, there will be time to explore the Breidafjordur area and the fjords closer to Reykjavik.

An expedition to remember!

Tour operator

An old Herring drifter (Logger) built in 1915, the ship is 28 meters long over deck (38 meters overall) and takes 16 trainees on her voyages. No previous sailing experience is needed and experienced and new sailors love her equally.

A family of four professional sailors have owned and run this vessel since 2006 and sail her with true passion. Built for the North Sea she’s a fast sailor and her rigging is as traditional as it gets.

We love that the boat’s appearance is kept as traditional as possible yet combined with modern techniques and equipment. Everyone on board is part of the informal sail training program that is designed to get the best out of everyone whether you join for 2 days or a longer ocean crossing.

On September 13th she and her crew were the first traditional sailing ship to complete the North West Passage after Roald Admundsen with his ship Goya in 2013.
