Tall ship, whales, in Arctic

Look for bowhead whales from a vintage, refurbished tall ship, the 168-foot, 34-passenger S/V Rembrandt van Rijn, while sailing around Greenland’s Disko Island, exploring fjords and landing at sites to observe wildlife. The 7-night, Arctic “Disko Bay Whale Safari” cruise begins at the town of Aasiaat, reached by charter flight from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.

In 2014, voyages depart May 15 & 22 and June 5. Not including the charter flight to and from Aasiaat, the 2013 price for a twin private inside cabin was £1,695 (near $2,584) and for a porthole cabin, £2,050.
