Greenland Honeymoon: Icebergs, Midnight Sun & the Capital

Today you savour the Ilulissat Icefjord together at a gentle, romantic pace. You walk hand in hand along the boardwalk and rock trails from the town, past the ancient Sermermiut settlement, to spectacular viewpoints over the ice-choked fjord, gazing together over a sea of stranded icebergs glowing in the Arctic light. You take in the profound silence and beauty, pausing often just to be together amid the ice. In the afternoon you relax at your hotel or explore the colourful town, its harbour and its cafes. This evening, in summer, you experience the magic of the midnight sun, which never sets, bathing the icebergs in endless rose and gold, a scene of pure romance. The beauty is beyond words. Savour a candlelit dinner overlooking the ice. Rest well together beside the beautiful fjord.

Today is the romantic heart of your honeymoon, a private iceberg cruise on the Ilulissat Icefjord, just the two of you and your boat crew. You cruise among vast, glowing icebergs, floating cathedrals of white and electric-blue ice, endlessly sculpted by wind and water, in the low golden light and, in summer, beneath the midnight sun. Your crew finds the most beautiful and dramatic bergs, pausing among them in the silence, and you raise a glass of champagne together amid the ice, a moment to remember forever. You keep watch for seals and seabirds among the bergs. The beauty and intimacy are unforgettable. Back in Ilulissat, you relax and explore the colourful town at leisure. This evening, savour a romantic dinner of fresh Arctic cuisine. Rest well together, holding the memory of the ice and the champagne.

Today you head out together into the rich waters of Disko Bay to see the great whales of the Arctic summer. The bay is among the best places on earth to see humpback whales, which gather to feed among the drifting icebergs, and you watch these giants surface, blow and dive, their great tails lifting against the shimmering ice, wrapped warmly together on the deck. You cruise to a calving glacier front, where blocks of ancient ice crash thunderously into the sea, and take in the wild Arctic beauty all around. Sharing these wonders creates memories to last a lifetime. The wildlife and ice are magical. Back in Ilulissat, you relax at your hotel or in a cafe. This evening, savour a romantic dinner overlooking the fjord. Rest well together beside the beautiful bay.

This morning you take a last romantic walk along the Icefjord, then fly south to Nuuk, Greenland's small and colourful capital, over a dazzling landscape of ice, mountains and sea. Nuuk sits on a spectacular fjord beneath the pointed peak of Sermitsiaq, a lively little town of brightly painted timber houses, modern architecture, galleries and a growing food scene. You are met and settle into your characterful hotel, then stroll together through the colourful streets and along the waterfront, taking in the beautiful setting beneath the mountains and beside the vast fjord. The colour and culture are charming. This evening, you enjoy a romantic dinner at one of Nuuk's acclaimed restaurants, savouring fresh Arctic cuisine prepared with flair. Rest well together in the colourful capital, ready to explore it tomorrow.

Today you discover colourful Nuuk together. You cruise the vast and beautiful Nuuk Fjord, one of the largest fjord systems in the world, beneath the dramatic peak of Sermitsiaq, heading out among islands, mountains and drifting icebergs, keeping watch for seals and whales, and taking in the immense, silent beauty together. Back in town, you explore the historic Colonial Harbour, visit the excellent National Museum, home to the remarkable Qilakitsoq mummies, and browse the galleries and cafes of the colourful streets. The culture and setting are captivating. This evening, you enjoy a final romantic fjord-view dinner of fresh Arctic cuisine, raising a glass to your extraordinary Greenland honeymoon. The town, the ice and the light are unforgettable. Rest well together in beautiful Nuuk, holding the memories of your Arctic escape.

After a final leisurely morning together in colourful Nuuk, perhaps a last stroll along the waterfront or some shopping for Greenlandic craft and jewellery, you are transferred to the airport for your onward flight from Greenland. You leave having shared an Arctic honeymoon unlike any other, private iceberg cruises and champagne beneath the midnight sun on the Ilulissat Icefjord, whales and a calving glacier in Disko Bay, hand-in-hand walks in the golden light, fine Arctic dining, and the colourful capital of Nuuk beneath Sermitsiaq. The images stay vivid long after you land, the glowing icebergs in the endless light, the whales among the bergs, the champagne on the silent fjord, and the painted houses of Nuuk. Greenland offers beauty, wonder and romance in abundance, and you depart together already dreaming of a return to the edge of the world.
