Sailboats Hildur and Opal return home to Húsavík after an incredible season in Greenland
Our beloved wooden schooners, Hildur and Opal, have safely returned home to Húsavík after an unforgettable season in the stunning wilderness of Greenland’s Scoresby Sound! These beautiful sailboats have brought back their adventurous crews and heartwarming memories that our passengers will cherish forever.
A unique way to explore Scoresby Sound
Exploring the untouched wilderness of Scoresby Sound aboard traditional wooden boats provides you with intimate access to nature and wildlife. It is a rare opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and fully absorb the raw beauty of the Arctic in its purest form. Imagine waking up each morning to the sound of nature while surrounded by countless glaciers, towering icebergs, majestic fjords, and Arctic wildlife – an experience few are fortunate enough to enjoy.
Each day in Greenland brings new adventures, from guided hikes and zodiac explorations on remote islands to setting sails with the crew, taking polar plunges, and witnessing the northern lights dancing across the sky. One thing is for sure: there is never a dull moment in Greenland.
Memories that will last forever
The season in Scoresby Sound was more than just a series of week-long expeditions; it was a collection of moments that made a deep mark on our hearts. Every voyage was special, yet they all left us with the same sense of awe and gratitude for the Arctic’s incredible natural beauty.
And it’s a good time to remind everyone of our favourite saying:
“There are two stages in life: life before Greenland and life after Greenland. This landscape transforms you.”
“My first trip to Greenland and words cannot describe how spectacular it was! Amazing crew, fabulous boat, trip of lifetime. I will remember this week for the rest of my life!”
