Greenland Arctic Tours & Cruises | Peregrine Adventures CA

Discover an incredible range of biodiversity on the world’s largest island.

Explore a place that has given birth to some of the world’s most dominating icebergs, being home to Jakobshavn Isbraue, the largest glacier in the Northern Hemisphere. Step foot on one of the only two ice sheets on the planet (the other being Antarctica) and keep a watchful eye for its wandering residents covered with feathers, fur or fins. Seek whales close to the shoreline and spot playful seals and nesting birds. Soak in hot springs enveloped in mountains and ice after visiting settlements that are hauntingly beautiful while uncovering the history of the area.

Marvel at the Arctic’s most active glacier

Onboard experts

There's only so much you can read in a guidebook, especially when it comes to such rare and extraordinary locations. That's why we have a range of specialists onboard for every polar journey, from historians to marine biologists and hiking guides. With experts at hand, you can be assured that no question will be left unanswered.

Annie – Marine biologist

"I love my job because everyday you don’t quite know what’s going to unfold. For me, a big part of it is about being able to educate and shift people's understanding of wildlife, and to give them an experience that will last in their memories for a lifetime"

Todd – Naturalist

"I’m a firm believer in conservation and creating awareness through education and sharing our experience. I love sharing the polar regions with guests, connecting people to the environment and using my job as a platform to teach people."

Wayne – Expedition guide

"The most important piece of advice I can give is to come here with an open mind and open heart. Take the whole experience in, from the vast landscapes, to the glaciers and the incredible wildlife that lives here."

Wildlife

Each day brings the possibility of new wildlife sightings, including thousands of nesting birds; land-dwelling musk ox; humpback, minke and fin whales; bearded, harp and ring seals; and the elusive Arctic Fox.
