Aurora Expeditions

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Toronto, Canada

   Canada

   

   Toronto is Canada's most multicultural metropolis, where over 200 languages, the ROM's Libeskind crystal, Frank Gehry's AGO redesign, and neighborhoods spanning every cuisine on Earth create one of North America's most rewarding and underestimated cities. Visit September via Viking for the Toronto International Film Festival, waterfront island escapes, and the revelation that Canada's financial capital harbors cultural diversity rivaling any city on the continent.

2. Day 2

   Nuuk

   

3. Day 3

   Sisimiut

   Greenland

   

   Sisimiut is Greenland's adventure capital, a colourful Arctic town of 5,500 people just north of the Arctic Circle on the west coast. Must-dos include hiking the Arctic Circle Trail, whale watching for humpbacks and narwhals, and exploring the colonial-era museum. Summer brings midnight sun and hiking conditions, while winter offers dog-sledding, skiing, and northern lights.

4. Day 4

   Ilulissat

   Greenland

   

   Ilulissat sits beside the Northern Hemisphere's most prolific glacier — the UNESCO-listed Sermeq Kujalleq, which calves forty-six cubic kilometers of icebergs annually into a fjord of almost incomprehensible frozen spectacle. Visit June through August via Silversea or Hapag-Lloyd for midnight-sun zodiac cruises among hundred-meter icebergs, Knud Rasmussen's childhood museum, and the light show that transforms Greenland's ice into one of Earth's most transformative visual experiences.

   Nunavut

   Nunavut is Canada's vast Arctic territory, a 2.1-million-square-kilometer wilderness of tundra, sea ice, and icebergs inhabited by just 40,000 people, predominantly Inuit. Must-dos include wildlife encounters with polar bears, narwhals, and caribou herds, experiencing living Inuit culture, and navigating iceberg-filled channels by expedition vessel. July through September offers the only window when sea ice conditions allow navigation.

9. Day 9

   Devon Island

   Canada

   

   Devon Island is the largest uninhabited island on Earth — 55,247 square kilometres of ice caps, polar desert, and a meteorite crater that NASA uses as a Mars analogue. Must-dos include Zodiac landings on this austere landscape, watching for muskoxen and polar bears, and experiencing silence of a quality rarely found anywhere on the planet. Expedition ships visit from late July through early September, with access entirely dependent on ice and weather conditions.
