West Greenland Cruise

Greenland and Iceland

Ilulissat > Nuuk

Discover the West Greenland coast

A west Greenland cruise. Starting in Ilulissat, the voyage will pass through some of the most spectacular icebergs and bergy bits you will see. They originate from the glacier Sermeq Kujalleq, just South of Ilulissat. Towering high in the foggy mornings, navigating out of Disko Bay may depend on wind and weather. 

Along the way there are many amazing places to stop, many of which have a rich history of whaling or Viking exploration. 

Kangaamiut is one of those places named after the form of the mountains, which according to Dutch and British whalers looked like “sugar loafs”.

Sail Training Program

On board the tecla we work with a Sail training program developed by the Dutch Sail Training Association (STAN). This sail training program is not only about learning to sail but uses sailing as a tool for personal development. Trainees on board are encouraged to step out of the comfort zone to experience new things. This applies to all ages! At the end of the trip, long or short, the trainees get a logbook containing the past process and how far they have come. Different skills are developed depending on the length of the trip. These can come in handy in a professional sailing environment as well as outside the maritime world.

Sail training makes sailing that slightly more than an active vacation.
