Our journey from South Greenland to East Greenland begins in Narsarsuaq and an area that is as rich in history and culture as it is in natural wonders – with Norse explorers, Inuit culture, hot springs, whales and amazing scenery. We then explore the pointy mountains of Prince Christian Sound and continue along the wild, beautiful and unexplored eastern coastline.Our final destinations, the Sermilik Fjord area and the town of Tasiilaq, will treat us to icebergs in all shapes and sizes – as well as the stories and myths of the local Tunumiit culture.
Travelling with a small group of merely 12 passengers gives us more flexibility, more unique itineraries and more time ashore. Also, the footprints we leave behind are a lot smaller! We get to visit remote settlements, meet the welcoming people living here and in a personal way learn more about their fascinating culture.

M/S Balto is a high-ice-class Finnish-built vessel redesigned to deliver an intimate polar experience for just 12 guests. Its seven cabins are large by expedition standards, each with private facilities and lower beds, ranging from an expansive Owner’s Cabin with six windows to well-appointed twin, double and single options. Interior spaces are finished with rich timber panelling and traditional detailing, including a saloon, bar, library, and a dedicated dining room. A small sauna, multiple viewing decks and an open bridge reinforce the ship’s focus on comfort, atmosphere and direct engagement with the polar environment.
Its size and ice capability allow access deep into fjord systems, secluded anchorages and small settlements where larger vessels cannot operate. With two Zodiacs, two guides and a small passenger cohort, shore time is maximised and itineraries remain flexible, adapting to conditions and wildlife opportunities. The result is a quieter, lower-impact and more immersive approach to Greenland’s wilderness, offering a level of proximity, silence and responsiveness that is not achievable on conventional expedition ships.
M/S Balto offers a relaxed luxury accommodation for 12 guests in 7 outside cabins, all with private facilities and lower beds. The spacious cabins include 1 Owner’s cabin, 1 superior cabin, 3 double cabins and 2 single cabins. Double cabins have a queen bed. In all cabins you find a desk with a chair and a closet for storage.
