The Saga of Erik the Red

The Saga of Erik the Red

From $17,810 AUD

Description

Step aboard the Le Soléal in Reykjavik for a 13-day expedition cruise to southern Greenland.

Sailing along the steep eastern coastline, the ship will plunge into deep southern Greenland fjords and continue up past mountains worn away by glaciers and covered with rich, abundant flora.

Accompanied by a team of anthropologists, ornithologists, geologists and experts in marine mammals, you can get up close to the amazing wildlife: seals, whales and maybe even polar bears.

To the west of the country, you will sail amongst the blue icebergs of the Narsarsuaq region and the northern hemisphere’s largest icebergs in Ilulissat.

Please Note: Your voyage prices include transfer + flight Kangerlussuaq / Paris

Overview
Vessel Type: Luxury Small Ship Length: 142 metres Passenger Capacity: 264 Built: 2013 Sailing under the French flag, this magnificent yacht of only 132 staterooms and suites, with balconies, joined in 2013. You will be enchanted by the contemporary decor inspired by the luxury yachting world, with fluid lines and a modern colour scheme combining natural wood with shades of grey and white. A refined ambience is enhanced by the quality of the workmanship and materials: white Corian counters in the lobby contrast with the warmth of leather to recall a boat's hull, while the central scuplture of enamelled pieces takes its inspiration from the sea.  In the loungebar, the carpet picks up a tennis stripe theme symbolising a certain idea of cruising, one synonomous with French elegance and a chic seaside spirit.  

Itinerary



Day 1 - Days 1 & 2 - Reykjavik - Hafnarfjordur (Iceland)
This attractive harbour city is located just a few kilometres from the Icelandic capital. You will get there by sea, so you’ll see the fishing boats moored in the Hafnarfjörður bays. As you approach, you’ll see the immersed rocks of volcanic origin; in fact Hafnarfjörður is built on an ancient field of lava flow. In the town centre, basalt rocks will point you in the direction of the historic houses of Sivertsen and Siggubær: their interiors and period furniture will bring old Iceland back to life before your very eyes. Not far from here, you can fill your lungs with sea air by taking the coastal walk, which is well worth it for the beautiful, panoramic views.
