You will see Boston Common, the oldest public park in America, the exclusive neighborhood of Beacon Hill, and the gold-domed Massachusetts State House, which was constructed in 1798 on land that was once John Hancock’s cow pasture. You will then visit the Old North Church, which first opened its doors in 1723. It was here that Paul Revere ordered two lanterns hung in the steeple to signal that the British were approaching by sea. After crossing the river to Cambridge, you will enjoy a leisurely stroll through Harvard University. If you wish to remain in Boston after the tour, you can be dropped off at Quincy Market and return on your own later.

Walk the historical Freedom Trail, pausing at many of the most pivotal sites in the American Revolution, while the guide elaborates on their significance in the founding of America.

A must-see for nature lovers, this tour visits the island’s enthralling insectarium and butterfly house, winner of “Best Indoor Attraction in Newfoundland.” Founded in 1998 on the majestic Humber River, Newfoundland Insectarium was designed with wall-mounted and floor exhibits featuring live and preserved specimens from six zoological zones, including one devoted to the insects of Newfoundland and Labrador.

At the end of that trail, you will be shuttled to the Glynmill Inn Trail, much of which also runs parallel to Corner Brook Stream and Glynmill Inn Pond. Mill workers originally constructed the pond as a dam to supply power to the city’s paper industry. It now serves as one of Corner Brook’s most popular recreation areas because of its scenic beauty.

You will also enjoy a view of Gros Morne Mountain in the distance, a flattop slice of Arctic tundra far south of its usual range. Nearby, you will find the lighthouse at Lobster Cove Head, a literal landmark since 1898 and a top spot for whale watching.

Ride through downtown Corner Brook in an ATV designed for adventure before traveling into the wilds on the outskirts of town where the scenery will become even more dramatic. Corner Brook is one of the few cities in Canada with specially designated ATV routes, most of them following the coast of Humber Arm so the views will be exceptionally picturesque the entire way. After assessing the conditions and traffic, the driver will choose the most scenic and exhilarating route and provide entertaining commentary about the key landmarks. You may pass the mouth of the Humber River, beautiful sheltered coves and the monument to Captain James Cook, the British explorer that surveyed this area in the 1760s. Once you head off-road, you will ride through parts of Corner Brook that few visitors ever see. As a special treat, you will stop at an ice cream shop.

The higher you go, the more spectacular the views of the Bay of Islands, Humber Valley and the distant Long Range Mountains. From the top, more than 1,700 feet above sea level, you will enjoy the ultimate panoramic view. You will also descend on the ski lift to Bishop’s Tavern, where you can become an “Honorary Newfoundlander” by participating in a traditional Screech-In ceremony.

Discover the charm of Isafjordur on a guided walking tour through its historic streets lined with preserved tin-roofed wooden houses. Learn about the town’s evolution from a bustling 18th-century fishing hub to a lively cultural center while taking in the stunning mountain and fjord views. Visit the Maritime Museum, housed in an 18th-century building, to explore an eclectic collection of fishing artifacts and accordions that reflect Isafjordur’s maritime heritage. This walk offers an engaging mix of history, culture, and local insights in the heart of Iceland’s West Fjords.

Travel from Isafjordur to the Jökulfirdir Fjord by boat to visit a remote village deserted by all its residents over 60 years ago. The only way to get to Hesteyri is from the water; it’s about a 70-minute ride. The tiny settlement never did have any roads leading to it, and no electricity or telephone links. What it did have – and still does – is an outstandingly picturesque setting amidst steep snow-dusted mountains and quiet, secluded coves. Notwithstanding the natural beauty, in the 1940s the 80 inhabitants decided they’d had enough, and by 1952 the last of them had moved away. Many of their structures still stand, little changed from how they were then. And since the village has been an ecologically protected area for decades, the native flora and fauna have had a field day. Hikers here often encounter Arctic foxes, seals, and birds of many types. You’ll stroll around the eerily empty village with your guide, enjoying traditional Icelandic refreshments at a house where the doctor used to live. Don’t miss this chance for what will certainly be an excursion unlike any other you take this voyage.

Explore the resilient community of Súðavík, where much of the town was rebuilt after a devastating avalanche in 1995. Visit a memorial honoring those lost in the disaster and learn about the area's avalanche-prone landscape. At the Arctic Fox Center, gain insight into Iceland’s only native land mammal and observe any foxes under rehabilitation. The tour also includes a stop at a charming 19th-century church, where you’ll enjoy a performance of traditional Icelandic music.

Drive through Nuuk, the world’s smallest capital, and trace the town’s history through its marquee attractions. Nuuk means “headland,” a reference to its location at the tip of a peninsula at the mouth of an extensive fjord system. Missionary Hans Egede founded the city in 1728, although Inuits, Vikings and various other groups had lived there on and off for about 4,000 years. The route that you will follow passes landmarks that include the Parliament, the University of Greenland and Katuaq, a cultural venue whose modern design was inspired by the magical play of light on the ice and snow. The National Museum occupies several buildings around the colonial harbor, where a statue of Egede overlooks the sea. Other prominent historical buildings include Nuuk Cathedral. You will also drive through Nuuk’s neighboring suburbs, which include Nuussuaq and the more contemporary Qinngorput district. Regardless of where you travel, craggy mountains provide a majestic backdrop.

Get a firsthand account of what it’s like to live in Nuuk by visiting a local family and asking them about whatever comes to mind. Although Nuuk was founded in 1728, Inuits and Vikings settled the area as many as 4,000 years before. The town slowly developed around the colonial harbor, where a statue of the missionary founder now overlooks the sea. Nearby stands the National Museum, whose collection includes ancient dog sleds, kayaks and well-preserved Inuit mummies. Still, the most meaningful way to learn about the Greenlandic culture is to visit a local family in their home. It is an experience you won’t soon forget because Greenlanders are friendly and eager to share their life stories. Over coffee and cake, you will discover what it’s like to live in Nuuk and cope with the harsh winter weather. Feel free to ask about the culture and customs, as your hosts welcome all questions.

Cruise into the beautiful Nuup Kangerlua fjord to look for humpback whales, which usually frequent these waters to feed and often breach the surface in acrobatic displays. As you approach uninhabited Sermitsiaq Island in the fjord, you will see a saddle-shaped mountain rising from the island’s heart. When the weather warms and the snow and glaciers melt, a waterfall usually thunders off the mountain and into the crystal-clear waters of the fjord below. It is quite the sight, as is the wildlife that typically frequents this area. On a lucky day, you may see soaring eagles, seals, or most exciting of all, humpback whales. If they are present, the whales will no doubt steal the show, especially if one leaps from the water and lands with a tremendous splash. Scientists think whales breach the water to clean pests from their skin. However, they may do it just for fun.

Cruise along a pristine fjord to the stone ruins of a 14th-century Norse church, one of the first built on the North American continent. It’s a short walk from the tender pier to the boat you’ll board for your sail across the channel, past Whale Island and along a fjord to the spot where the ruins of Hvalsey Church – once one of the Greenland’s largest, most influential churches – still cling tenaciously to the shoreline. Having endured some 700 harsh sub-Arctic winters, what’s left of Hvalsey remains in remarkable shape. It’s mottled stone walls are nearly intact, rising some 20 feet to where the wooden roofbeams once spanned them. This venerable house of worship was erected all those years ago by Norse settlers from Iceland, attracted to the fertile terrain of South Greenland. People would gather here to attend Christian festivals throughout the year, arriving by ship, horseback and on foot. But the last recorded religious event at Hvalsey Church was a wedding that happened in September 1408, apparently quite well attended. Sometime in the following century, Hvalsey was abandoned and left to fall slowly into disrepair. Your knowledgeable guide will share intriguing historical details and local anecdotes.

Visit Greenland’s only agricultural research farm and discover how crops and other plants manage to thrive in South Greenland’s sub-Arctic climate. Walk from the tender pier to a tour boat nearby and step aboard for the sail through Qaqortoq’s local waters to Upernaviarsuk. This unique government-run experimental farm conducts research to identify livestock, crops, plants and trees that are suitable for cultivation in the region’s unique climate and short growing season. Despite the apparent challenges, farming has flourished here since the Middle Ages – there are even remnants of a Viking farm on this very site, and the ruins of a farm dating to the 1780s. The Upernaviarsuk agricultural school conducts ongoing research into which perennial grass varieties are best for production of hay and fodder here in the sub-Arctic, as well as which grains, barley and oats to grow. Experiments are conducted on ornamental bushes and trees to determine which species are best suited for private and public gardens. Many varieties of vegetable are test-grown, both inside and outside of greenhouses, and even animal husbandry is researched here – sheep are essential to the South Greenland economy. All told, the prolific nature found thriving so far north will surprise you.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at a tannery that transforms sealskins into furs, an industry with strong traditional ties to the indigenous Inuit people. Fur seals are abundant in this sub-Arctic region, where the Inuit have hunted them for thousands of years, primarily for food. Hunters send their surplus skins to the Great Greenland Tannery, and during your tour of the factory you’ll learn more about the deep cultural and financial connections between seal hunting and traditional Inuit life. It’s an industry and inter-relationship not often well-understood by those who don’t live in this environment – and your tour will surely be eye-opening. You’ll see sealskins, and perhaps even those of polar bear and polar fox, being processed and dyed. Many are for export to fabricators in Denmark, but other skins remain at the tannery to be sewn into a variety of finished pieces including jackets, pants and shawls. Even smaller items like handbags and belts are produced at the Great Greenland Tannery, ensuring that almost the entire sealskin is used. Two Greenlanders are in charge of designing the tannery’s exquisite merchandise, sold in the on-site fashion studio. After the tour, explore Qaqortoq further or stroll back to the ship.

Experience charming Qaqortoq up-close on a guided walk around the historic center, where colorful colonial homes share the scene with dozens of curious rock sculptures. This settlement, South Greenland’s largest city, is home to about 3,200. It’s also home to Greenland’s oldest fountain; the country’s only other one is younger. Qaqortoq was officially founded in 1775, but its cultural roots reach back far further – beyond 2,500 BC when the Paleo-Eskimo Saqqaq people lived here. The Norse arrived around the 10th century, and Danish traders later – rechristening this Julianehaab for their queen at the time. The city’s modern Greenlandic name means “the white,” a reference to the icy glaciers and fjords that surround it. But during the time of your visit, “the green” might be more accurate, with the landscape in full dazzle and flower and vegetable gardens flourishing town-wide. In addition to historic landmarks like Qaqortoq’s oldest church and a typical Inuit sod house, you’ll see the local fish market, where fresh-caught seafood is displayed side by side with seal and whale meat. As you stroll the town, you’ll also encounter stone sculptures of all sizes and shapes, created by local artists in celebration of South Greenland’s proud cultural history.

Don your trail shoes and set out with your guide along paths hugging the shore of Qaqortoq’s placid “Great Lake.” The majestic scenery is sure to inspire you, and your well-informed guide will be ready to field any and all questions about this unique and surprisingly fertile sub-Arctic environment. Your ramble begins right from the pier as you take in a scene of colorful homes climbing up the hillsides above the harbor. This is South Greenland’s largest city, population a stratospheric 3,200 souls. Soon, you’ll leave this mini-metropolis behind as you trek outward toward Lake Tasersquaq, aka the Great Lake – its serene blue waters framed by rugged mountains and pure enough to be Qaqortoq’s source of drinking water. Making your way along the lake’s picturesque shoreline, you’ll soon appreciate how this region’s mild summers and generous rainfall make it something of a remote Eden. Look for plump sheep grazing lazily along grassy upland meadows, crowberries ripening on low bushes, and the magenta-petaled niviarsiaq, Greenland’s national flower. And be on the lookout skyward for white-tailed eagles, often seen soaring over the lake in search of fish to swoop down and pluck out of the water.

Heighten your appetite with a walk through Qaqortoq to sample Greenlandic and Inuit cuisine at a local restaurant. You’ll spend about 25 minutes along the immensely scenic route through the heart of South Greenland’s largest city – still a compact, charming place where gardens flourish, colorful historic homes line the streets and public artworks celebrate the region’s rich cultural history. But then, there’s no better way to get a true taste of a culture than by its food. The offerings at this excursion’s designated venue change frequently but typically include traditional Greenlandic and Inuit dishes featuring high-protein meats – a diet meant to sustain early locals through harsh, physically demanding winters. Greenlanders have been whalers for some 4,000 years, so look for a taste of that to be served – perhaps thinly sliced like carpaccio or quick-cooked like veal to seal in its flavor. Lamb is also popular here, raised naturally and allowed to range the upland pastures freely. Other traditional specialties might include dried seal, grilled Arctic char or smoked reindeer. Tasty local crowberries, which look like blueberries, are used liberally in sauces and desserts. No worries; you’ll burn off any excess calories on the walk back to the ship

Spend a relaxing while getting to know some Qaqortoq residents in the comfort of their home and learn about daily life in Greenlandic culture. This charming tour introduces you to one of Greenland’s most intimate traditions, the kaffemik. Centered around coffee, tea, cake and conversation, the kaffemik is Greenlanders’ equivalent to an open house – where family and friends gather to celebrate an event or just each other’s company. Your guide will greet you at the pier and escort you into town to enter a private home and participate in a kaffemik yourself, meeting and chatting with your hosts informally. During your visit you will also be treated to a presentation of the Greenlandic national costume – an elaborate and showy affair – and meet a local woman who uses traditional skills dating back centuries to craft these labor-intensive garments. Each can take months to complete, and you can’t help but imagine what it must be like to spend long sub-Arctic winters in a cozy wooden cottage, assembling animal hides, beads and colorful fabrics in this way. At the conclusion of this delightful and authentic Greenlandic experience, you’ll walk back to the pier bearing new cultural insights.

Ride through Iceland’s stunning landscapes on a sure-footed Icelandic horse, known for its friendly temperament and unique tölt gait, which makes traversing rugged terrain smooth and comfortable. After gearing up at the Ishestar Riding Centre, you’ll embark on a scenic journey, possibly through lava fields near Mt. Helgafell or along the shores of Lake Hvaleyrarvatn, with the Bláfjöll Mountains in the distance. This ride offers a close connection to nature and Iceland’s ancient Viking heritage, making for a memorable outdoor adventure.

Embark on an exhilarating whale-watching expedition from Reykjavik’s Old Harbor, where you’ll set out to spot Iceland’s magnificent marine life.

Enjoy the adventure from the outdoor deck or view the action from the warmth of the cabin’s large windows. During the tour, you can warm up with coffee or take advantage of the onboard thermal suits for extra comfort.

Relax and rejuvenate at Iceland’s renowned Blue Lagoon, known for its geothermal seawater rich in minerals like silica and sulfur. After a scenic drive to the Reykjanes Peninsula, take a pre-soak shower before slipping into the warm, milky-blue waters that are famed for their restorative effects on the skin and stress-relief properties. You’ll have time to explore the lagoon’s sauna, steam bath, and access the signature white silica mud for a complete spa experience. Unwind in this one-of-a-kind natural setting before returning to Reykjavik.
