About the Resort
HX's premium Greenland expedition programme
Hurtigruten Greenland Expedition is HX's premium Greenland expedition programme, drawing on around 130 years of polar heritage to deliver Zodiac landings, naturalist-led science and Grand Greenland voyages that increasingly sail from Nuuk's new airport into Disko Bay and the far north. Guests choose from a fleet of ships, from the intimate, refurbished MS Spitsbergen and the classic MS Fram to the battery-hybrid MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof Nansen with panoramic lounges and balcony suites. All meals are included in the main restaurant Aune, with fine dining at Restaurant Lindstrom for suite guests. Premium, sustainable and expedition-first. This is a multi-ship programme, so the vessel is confirmed by itinerary.

★★★★★
“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Hurtigruten Greenland Expedition. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Greenland
Hotel Arctic
Hotel Arctic is the world's northernmost four-star hotel and Greenland's most famous, standing on the shores of the UNESCO Ilulissat Icefjord on Disko Bay. Every one of its rooms looks out over the icefjord or the bay, in Danish-elegant interiors hung with Greenlandic art, and the hotel adds five coast-edge aluminium igloo cabins (boardwalk-linked, open May to October) for sleeping beside the icebergs. Greenlandic cuisine is served at Restaurant Ulo, there is a terrace for midnight-sun drinks, and the whole hotel is CO2-neutral. The classic Ilulissat icefjord base.
Greenland
Ilimanaq Lodge
Ilimanaq Lodge is Greenland's standout design lodge: fifteen architect-designed, two-storey cabins set cliff-side in the historic Ilimanaq settlement on Disko Bay, reached only by a 30-minute boat transfer from Ilulissat through the UNESCO Icefjord. Each cabin of around 40 square metres has a wall-sized panorama window framing drifting icebergs and breaching whales from the bed or the private terrace. Dinner is gourmet, served at Restaurant Egede in a restored 1751 colonial building, and the whole lodge is solar-powered and off-grid. Remote, design-led and gastronomic, on the edge of the ice.
Greenland
Hotel Hans Egede
Hotel Hans Egede is Nuuk's largest and best-known hotel, in the heart of Greenland's capital on the main street, a four-star Scandinavian-design city hotel within walking distance of the harbour, the Katuaq Cultural Center and the National Museum. Rooms run from budget to the named Clinton Suite, with city or fjord views, and serviced apartments sit alongside them. The hotel is home to Nuuk's standout dining: the fine-dining Sarfalik, the A Hereford Beefstouw steakhouse, and the top-floor Skyline Bar with panoramic views over the capital, the fjord and the mountains. The central base in the capital, and a natural Nuuk gateway stop.
