Excursion Ilulissat iceberg cruise tour at Ilulissat

Just after sunrise, enjoy views from deck of Jakobshavn Glacier in the Ilulissat Icefjord, often surrounded by icebergs in various shapes and shades of white and turquoise. Known as the birthplace of icebergs, the fjord produces nearly 35 km³ of ice annually. You may also witness a demonstration of traditional fishing methods and sample locally caught fish. An optional boat tour offers a closer look at the icebergs at the fjord’s entrance.

Explore the towering icebergs of the Ilulissat Icefjord, recognized as one of the northernmost UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This remarkable icefjord features a vast array of icebergs that have broken off from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier.
