Kangerlussuaq is Greenland’s unlikely gateway: a small settlement set 190 kilometres inland at the head of a long fjord. Once a U.S. air base, it offers access to the ice sheet and guided excursions onto its immense white surface. Beyond town, tundra supports musk oxen and reindeer; nearby Russell Glacier reveals Greenland’s moving ice. Weather and distance shape every outing, so plan for conditions.
Ilulissat stands beside Disko Bay, where icebergs drift from the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the world’s fastest-flowing glaciers, sends vast blocks of ice into the fjord. Walk the paths above the water, visit the local museum, or join a boat trip among the icebergs. From shore, their scale can be difficult to grasp. Ilulissat pairs a working Greenlandic town with one of the Arctic’s most striking landscapes.
On Baffin Island, Canada’s largest island, the Arctic feels immediate: vast fjords, sculpted cliffs and tundra reach the horizon. Nunavut’s Inuit communities offer a living connection to the North, shaped by deep knowledge, language and tradition. Depending on your landing, look for seabirds, seals or whales, and allow time for weather to set the pace. Here, the reward is not a checklist. The reward is perspective: a place where light, ice and distance shape each day.
The Northwest Passage is a network of channels through Canada’s Arctic Archipelago, not a single waterway. It crosses Inuit homelands, where small communities maintain enduring ties to land and sea. Voyages bring stark coastlines, immense skies and wildlife adapted to a demanding environment. The Franklin expedition vanished after entering the Arctic in 1845, adding a haunting chapter to the route’s history. Each voyage depends on season, ice and route; no two crossings unfold alike.

Nuuk is Greenland’s capital, where Arctic scale meets the pace of a working town. Set beside the vast Nuuk Fjord, it pairs brightly painted houses with modern architecture and a lively harbor. Visit the Greenland National Museum to see the 500-year-old Qilakitsoq mummies and objects tracing Inuit life. Then look toward Sermitsiaq, the landmark mountain rising beyond the water. Nuuk rewards travelers seeking Greenlandic culture alongside its dramatic landscapes.

Set just north of the Arctic Circle, Sisimiut is Greenland’s second-largest town and a working fishing port. Brightly painted homes rise above the harbor. Boats and fishing vessels keep the waterfront firmly connected to daily life. At Sisimiut Museum, historic buildings and collections reveal Inuit heritage and the town’s colonial past. From town, trails open onto Arctic landscapes of mountains, lakes and broad tundra.

Nain, Labrador’s northernmost permanent community, faces a rugged coast of islands, coves and distant mountains. It is the administrative centre of Nunatsiavut, the Inuit self-governing region of northern Labrador. Moravian missionaries established a mission here in 1771; Inuit life and culture remain central to the community. No road links Nain with southern Labrador; arrival by air or coastal vessel is part of the experience.
At Newfoundland’s northern tip, L’Anse aux Meadows offers a rare encounter with the Viking age in North America. Archaeologists uncovered evidence of a Norse settlement here dating to about 1,000 years ago. UNESCO recognizes L’Anse aux Meadows as the only confirmed Norse site in North America. Walk among reconstructed turf-walled buildings, then explore the visitor centre’s artefacts and archaeological evidence. Beyond the site, the wind-shaped coastline rewards a slower look.
Halifax rewards visitors who begin on foot, where the harbourfront’s historic warehouses, boardwalk and seafood restaurants meet. Climb to the star-shaped Halifax Citadel for broad harbour views. At the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, exhibits trace Nova Scotia’s seafaring past and Halifax’s connection to the Titanic. Beyond downtown, Peggy’s Cove pairs a working fishing village with a lighthouse set on wave-worn granite.
Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory in the eastern Caribbean, known for its volcanic landscape and quiet, uncrowded shores. The Soufrière Hills volcano reshaped the island after its 1995 eruption; Plymouth, the former capital, remains within the exclusion zone. Visit the Montserrat Volcano Observatory for context, then explore northern settlements, black-sand beaches and trails through lush hills. This is an island for curious travellers, not hurried sightseeing.
Pigeon Island is more than a beach stop: this 44-acre national landmark joins Saint Lucia’s history to its northwest coast. Walk the causeway, then climb to Fort Rodney, where British guns once guarded the channel against French attack. From Signal Peak, the view sweeps across Rodney Bay and the Caribbean toward Martinique. Afterward, swim at one of the island’s small beaches or visit the museum in its restored military buildings.
Bridgetown rewards travelers who leave the ship and walk into Barbados’ compact capital. Its UNESCO-listed Historic Bridgetown and Garrison trace the island’s colonial history; Broad Street offers a lively glimpse of daily life. Pause beside the Careenage, where boats thread the old harbour, then browse shops for local rum and Bajan crafts. Carlisle Bay’s pale sand and clear water lie just beyond the city.
Port of Spain pairs a busy capital with views across the Gulf of Paria. At Queen’s Park Savannah, shady paths circle a broad green, framed by the Northern Range. Nearby, the Magnificent Seven mansions reveal the city’s architectural past, while the National Museum traces Trinidad and Tobago’s story. Hear steelpan, sample Creole cooking and browse city markets before returning to the waterfront and the Gulf of Paria.
Fortaleza puts the Atlantic within easy reach, with broad city beaches and Ceará’s distinctive northeastern Brazilian character. Along the Beira-Mar waterfront, find seafood restaurants, beach kiosks and a lively evening craft market. At Mercado Central, browse Ceará-made lace, leather goods and regional sweets. Then visit the Dragão do Mar arts center for exhibitions and a glimpse of Fortaleza’s contemporary culture.
Set between the Atlantic and the Potengi River, Natal gives Brazil’s northeast a bright, windswept welcome. Beyond the port, long beaches lead to Ponta Negra, where Morro do Careca rises above the sand. A short drive north, Genipabu’s dunes invite buggy rides and sweeping coastal views. For a quieter hour, visit the star-shaped Forte dos Reis Magos, whose construction began in 1598.
Salvador rewards curious travellers with Brazil’s strongest blend of African heritage, Portuguese architecture and Atlantic spirit. In Pelourinho, within the city’s UNESCO-listed historic centre, pastel façades and baroque churches line steep cobbled streets. Ride the Elevador Lacerda from the upper city to the waterfront, where views open across Baía de Todos-os-Santos. Try acarajé, crisp black-eyed-pea fritters sold by baianas in traditional dress. Music carries traditions shaped by Candomblé and samba.
Búzios is a peninsula on Brazil’s Costa do Sol, about 170 kilometres east of Rio de Janeiro. Once a fishing village, it drew international attention after Brigitte Bardot visited in 1964. Today, more than 20 beaches offer calm coves, broad sands and Atlantic surf. Stroll Rua das Pedras for boutiques and seafood, then take a schooner or water taxi between shores. Each beach has its own character; distances make choosing a base worthwhile.
Paraty rewards visitors who look beyond Brazil’s beaches. Its compact historic centre preserves whitewashed colonial houses, ornate churches and cobbled streets between the mountains and the bay. The town forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, celebrated for its cultural landscape and Atlantic rainforest. From the waterfront, schooners set out for forested islands and clear swimming coves; inland, distilleries offer a taste of cachaça.
Granite peaks rise above Guanabara Bay; the city reaches toward the Atlantic. From the port, the landmarks are unmistakable: Sugarloaf Mountain guards the bay, and Christ the Redeemer watches from Corcovado. Balance the grand views with street-level pleasures: Copacabana, Ipanema, and the leafy avenues of the South Zone. Choose one or two sights, then leave room for a long lunch and the city’s beach culture.
