Greenland to Newfoundland: Mountains, Wildlife and Viking HistorySep 14, 2026 (14 days)

Ocean Explorer | Reykjavik to St. John's
Book now for the limited-time savings of up to 20%!
Exclusive Bonus: $250 Shipboard Credit per guest.

The 14-day Greenland to Newfoundland: Mountains, Wildlife and Viking History is Quark's only itinerary that features Greenland, the Canadian High Arctic and the East Coast of Canada. This brand-new itinerary is also unique because it enables you to explore both Arctic and boreal environments. This means you’ll have the opportunity to experience boreal biomes— also known as taiga—which are cold, dense forests dominated by coniferous trees, boreal woodlands and boreal wildlife such as caribou, black bears, red and Arctic foxes, and peregrine falcons. This is a sharp contrast to what you’ll experience in Arctic biomes, treeless regions marked by extreme winters, low vegetation consisting mostly of mosses and lichens, and wildlife species such as polar bears, seals and migratory birds call home.
