GREENLAND
—An unprecedented, one-off and free-from-hardship journey into the magnificent high Arctic of Greenland, a breathtaking natural landscape of majestic glaciers, mountains with arctic wildlife and the indigenous Inuit.
—You’ll enjoy helicopter access to the largest glacier system and the Scoresbysund Fjord, discover wildlife by dog-sled and enjoy the thrill of this spectacular landscape by snow-mobile. Your company for the weekend? Whales, musk oxes, show-hares, lemmings, polar foxes and (possibly) polar bears. You will also be joined by the indigenous Inuit for a private and authentic celebration, experiencing their unusual and hypnotic ‘throat singing’.
—For the first night you will stay in an authentic ‘trappers hut’, specially customised to create a luxurious and romantic haven. For the second night you’ll experience the real thing – an ‘ice-styled’ accommodation constructed for a night completely immersed in your spectacular surrounds. The final night will be spent in a specially upgraded traditional home to celebrate with every comfort and indulgence.
