An incredible eight-day Schooner sailing trip across Greenland’s east coast is now being offered at a discount travel price by Iceland tour provider, North Sailing; perfect for this year’s summer adventure getaway.

North Sailing’s Greenland tour explores the vast fjord system of Scoresby Sound, where travellers get the chance to experience magnificent icebergs, the breathtaking basalt mountains of Gaseland and the 2000 metres high sheer granite cliffs of Milne Land. Areas explored include Fohnfjord, Gaseland, Ankervig, Hekla Havn, Rodefjord, Harefjord, Rypefjord, Ofjord, Bjorneoer, Hjornedal and many more wonderful sights.
