About the route
Two Pearls of the North Atlantic Greenland & Faroe Islands Rodebay Fishing Village | Eqi Glacier | Disko Island Kuannit | Ikamiut | Ilulissat Kallur Lighthouse | Golden Circle | Vágar On the boundless North Atlantic, Greenland and the Faroe Islands shine like two brilliant pearls. They are treasures among Denmark's overseas autonomous territories and dream destinations for photographers and travelers worldwide. Whether exploring nature or immersing yourself in culture, you can find a spiritual home here. 01 / Greenland Greenland, the world's largest island within the Arctic Circle, draws countless explorers with vast glaciers, deep tranquil fjords, and pristine, magnificent natural scenery. Here you can hike among glaciers, experience the thrill of sailing among icebergs, head to sea in search of whales, or enjoy the calm of kayaking across rippling blue water. Greenland's sunset colors are the day's gentlest moment. The horizon shifts unpredictably from orange and yellow to pink and deep purple, a dreamlike feast of light. Time seems to stand still, bringing a warmth and tranquility beyond everyday life to this desolate, mysterious land. 02 / Faroe Islands The Faroe Islands are nature's masterpiece, with winding coastlines and changeable rain and mist. Magnificent fjords and cliffs intertwine with endless waterfall beauty to create pristine, poetic landscapes. Iceland's mystery, Norway's grandeur, and the Scottish Highlands' character blend perfectly into a unique natural beauty. In the Faroes, there are no particular national-park boundaries: the whole archipelago is an explorer's playground. Simply shoulder your bag and set out to discover this secluded paradise. Praised by National Geographic as 'the world's most beautiful islands,' the Faroes await your discovery.

We explore the picturesque village of Trøllanes, set amid rolling meadows. On our hike, we follow undulating mountain paths to one of the North Atlantic's most secluded lighthouses, Kallur Lighthouse. This was a filming location for the James Bond 007 film No Time to Die. We will also look for Bond's gravestone and experience the film's distinctive atmosphere. Kalsoy lies in the northern Faroes between Eysturoy and Kunoy, a charming, unspoiled small island. The surrounding peaks create a distinctive and breathtaking mountain landscape. Four ancient fishing villages are scattered across the island, one of the more densely populated parts of the Faroes and an important representative of local culture and traditions. Its long cultural history is still preserved, including Kalsoy Church and three famous symbols of ancient culture and tradition: pirates, a beluga-whale skeleton arch, and the Kópakonan Seal Woman statue.

Cancellation and breach provisions (source text)
Before departure, participants and the organizing team may sign a written travel contract or give notice terminating the trip agreement. The contract is legally binding. If termination is requested more than 120 days before departure, excluding day 90, neither party is liable for breach. Days are calculated by subtracting the date the termination notice is received from the departure date; the same calculation applies below. If the organizing team terminates, all travel fees must be refunded without deducting visa or entry-permit fees. If a participant terminates after a visa or entry permit has been processed or a flight purchased, the relevant visa, entry-permit and flight cancellation charges are deducted. The organizing team must refund the travel fees within 5 working days of receiving the termination notice. If either party terminates within 120 days of departure, including day 120, the terminating party bears liability for breach. [Participant liability] Participants terminating the agreement within 120 days of departure must pay the organizing team a business-loss charge according to the following schedule: 119 to 90 days before departure: 10% of the total trip fee; 89 to 60 days before departure: 40% of the total trip fee; 59 to 30 days before departure: 70% of the total trip fee; 29 to 1 days before departure: 100% of the total trip fee; Failure to pay the agreed deposit percentage by the deadline is treated as voluntarily relinquishing the charter of this vessel; If these percentages do not cover the organizing team's actual losses, the participant must compensate the actual losses, up to the total trip fee. After deducting the business-loss charge, the organizing team must refund the remaining travel fees within 5 working days of receiving the participant's cancellation notice.
