    The highlights of this cruise

    Blue and white turn to green when this expedition from the Greenland Arctic to the islands of Canada brings you great natural contrasts. The venue for your first chapter runs along the west and south coasts of Greenland. In small settlements, gain insights into the traditions and contemporary life of the Inuit. Colossal landscapes with sparkling ice formations, majestic mountain ranges and deep fjords are the backdrop to many rides and landings with the Zodiacs as well as hikes with your experts. Off the beaten track, Canada’s sparsely populated east coast is the scene for your second chapter: Newfoundland – here you are close to the beauty of nature, for example on a coastal hike* on the East Coast Trail. You can also enjoy the French way of life in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a remnant of the former colony of New France. The route into green Canada is crowned by a real premiere: the circumnavigation of Cape Breton Island. Explore the Cape Breton Highlands National Park* or the beautiful Bras d’Or Lake* – two more insider tips on this extraordinary expedition.

    The itinerary depends on official approval, weather and ice conditions. The natural experiences and wildlife sightings described are possibilities on this expedition and are not guaranteed.

    * The shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change without notice

    Your ship - HANSEATIC inspiration

    The new expedition class

    The naming ceremony of the HANSEATIC inspiration took place in Hamburg on 11 October 2019. Together with its structurally identically sister ships HANSEATIC nature (2019) and HANSEATIC spirit (2021), the small and state-of-the-art expedition ship explores remote destinations and visits the world’s most fascinating natural landscapes on challenging routes.

    The new expedition class – which offers space for a maximum of 230 guests (or 199 guests on Antarctic cruises and Spitsbergen circumnavigations) – sets standards in terms of variety, comfort and personal space. This is why our ship has more open deck space than any other expedition ship. Find out more! HANSEATIC inspiration was launched in October 2019.
