Embark the MS Fram in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland

Cross the Denmark Strait, following in the wake of the great Norse settlers who left the shores of Iceland and Norway more than 900 years ago.

The final itinerary will depend on ice and weather conditions, but we hope to visit Køge Bugt, where the Greenland Ice Cap reaches the sea and large tabular icebergs calve into the ocean, as well as Umivik, the place where Nansen went ashore and started his epic traverse of the Greenland Ice Cap. Skjoldungen Island will provide you with views of some of the most spectacular landscapes of Greenland.
