Arctic Circle Crossing | Nuuk → Ilulissat, Greenland

Join SV Sea Dragon for a short but spectacular Arctic sailing adventure Across the Arctic Circle in Greenland coastal waters from Nuuk to the iceberg-dotted fjords of Ilulissat, or Aasiaat, depending on ice conditions. Covering around 400 nautical miles, this voyage captures the essence of Greenland—towering icebergs, long days of Arctic light and the famous UNESCO World Heritage site of the Ilulissat Icefjord. Sailing north along Greenland’s rugged west coast, we’ll navigate among ice floes, fjords, and steep-sided mountains that plunge straight into the sea. The route may take us into breathtaking Disko Bay, one of the most remarkable natural environments on earth, where vast icebergs calve from the Ilulissat Glacier and drift slowly out to sea. Each day brings new sights—changing ice, wildlife encounters, and the endless daylight of the high Arctic summer. You’ll learn to handle the yacht in icy waters, read the conditions, and work together as a crew in one of the most remote sailing regions on the planet.
