Ilulissat Icefjord
Where icebergs are born
Sail beneath the cathedrals at Ilulissat.
Ilulissat is a UNESCO World Heritage site for one reason — the Jakobshavn Glacier calves more ice into the sea than anywhere in the northern hemisphere. Ocean Victory anchors in the bay; zodiacs thread the bergs. From there the voyage crosses Davis Strait into Labrador's Torngat Mountains — polar bear country, Inuit homeland, almost nothing else.

Key facts
Overview
A journey shaped by conditions, not a script.
Adventure Canada's Greenland & Wild Labrador is the operator's signature long-form voyage — a one-way passage that begins at Kangerlussuaq on Greenland's west coast, threads the fjords north to Ilulissat, crosses Davis Strait into Canada, and traces Labrador's mountainous coast south to Newfoundland. Aboard Ocean Victory, the experience is built around onboard programming led by Inuit educators, archaeologists, naturalists, and musicians from both sides of the strait. The route is weather-led. The pace is unhurried. The landings are deliberate.
