    • Albatros ExpeditionsOperatorWritten October 2024

      Our trip In the wake of Erik the Red departing on 29th July includes a one-way flight from Kangerlussuaq to Copenhagen after the voyage. The flight has a stopover in Keflavik, offering you the option to disembark and extend your stay in Reykjavik or Iceland. Please note, this stop is brief and intended for those who do not wish to continue to Copenhagen. If you prefer to continue to Copenhagen, you remain on board. Each customer is responsible for booking their own flight from Copenhagen to their final destination. The flight to Reykjavik, where the expedition begins, is not included in the package, so customers must arrange their own travel to Reykjavik independently.

    Asked on August 16th, 2024

    comparing Disco Bay vs. Marathon: I know one is longer, but overall for a first time greenland visitor age 72, good shape, which would you recommend? I notice Marathon has two "days at sea" that could give some rest time to recoup.

    Tour Details
    • Albatros ExpeditionsOperatorWritten August 2024

      This year, the "In the Wake of Erik the Red" marathon tour, which begins in Greenland and ends in Reykjavik, will be partially chartered for a marathon event. On September 8th, about half of the travelers will be participating in a marathon in Ilimanaq. For those not participating, this won't impact the itinerary—non-runners will continue with their planned activities, which include a scenic hike and a traditional Greenlandic kaffemik (cultural coffee gathering). This year's departure offers a 50% discount and includes a one-way flight from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq. Please note that you'll need to arrange your own return flight from Reykjavik. Additionally, the trip allows for some independent exploration of Iceland after the main tour. For next year, no marathon is planned, with the tour departing on August 30th 2025. It's important to note that the Disko Bay voyage is only scheduled for next year from August 16th to 23rd, 2025. Overall, our Disko Bay departure is designed to provide a deeper exploration of Greenland, while the "In the Wake of Erik the Red" voyage includes a few more "sea days."

      How much walking will be involved? Can 88 year old person handle it? When optional tour is not taken, are we staying in our cabin?

    • Albatros ExpeditionsOperatorWritten July 2024

      You have complete control over your walking activities. During landings in Greenland, you can either join the group for a walk or explore on your own. If you prefer not to join the scheduled activities, you have the option to explore the city independently or spend time on the ship.
