Tecla:
Ilulissat (GL) - Upernavik (GL)

08 July - 18 July 2027

Exploring the Disko Bay. Step on board the Tecla in Ilulissat, gateway to the famous Disko Bay, and leave behind one of the most breathtaking corners of Greenland. Navigate carefully through the icebergs as you sail north toward Upernavik, into wilder, lesser-known waters. This voyage is as much an exploration as it is a passage. You’ll pass dramatic cliffs where the ice sheet meets the sea, weave between small islands and blue-white ice, and drop anchor in quiet bays surrounded by mountains that rise straight from the water. Life on board finds its rhythm quickly: taking your turn on watch, feeling the pull of the wheel, learning to read the wind and the ice. The days are long and bright, and there is time to absorb the silence of the Arctic, to watch seals and whales in the distance, and to share stories over a warm meal after a day under sail. Approaching Upernavik, the settlements become smaller and the sense of remoteness grows. Brightly painted houses cling to rocky slopes, and the harbour is often dotted with fishing boats. Every Tecla voyage is shaped by wind, weather, and curiosity – and this one, especially, carries the true spirit of adventure. We do not know every anchorage yet, but we will find them together.
Open for all Windseekers, minimum age 15 years.
