The temperatures may be rising but for those looking for colder climes, the upcoming Greenland Explorer Yacht Expedition by X-1 Jets is the opposite to the usual idea of a summer escape. Inviting you to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the mysterious island of Greenland, one of the least populated places on earth, it promises to be extraordinary in every sense.
Voyaging where few others have ever gone before, but still offering the highest levels of luxury and comfort, your plush yacht La Datcha will guide you through remote fjords and towering glaciers while offering you the opportunity to get up close to some of nature’s most magnificent animals including whales, polar bears and the Arctic’s most rare and fascinating wildlife.
Scheduled to set sail in July 2025, your adventure begins with a journey by private jet to Greenland’s tiny yet charismatic capital of Nuuk. Here, you will step aboard alongside your fellow 11 guests and meet the expert explorer team who will grant your every whim and want.
Spanning six decks, the yacht comes replete with state-of-the-art wellness facilities such as a spa, sauna, steam bath, massage room and indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis, and a fully equipped gym, providing the balance between pure relaxation and thrilling activities. For gourmands, Michelin-inspired gourmet dining that is prepared freshly aboard awaits at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Whenever it’s time to alight from the yacht, adrenaline-pumping experiences await: think private helicopter rides over the island’s dramatic cliffs and pristine ice fields, and surreal deep-sea explorations aboard a Triton 1650/3 LP submarine, up to 300 metres below the surface of the frozen ocean.
As you gently bob along the icy waters, you will set a course for the likes of Maniitsoq, a paradise for adventure seekers that offers opportunities to catch a glimpse of whales and Kangerlussuaq, home to the world’s second largest ice-cap. There will even be a stop off at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ilulissat, where you can gaze upon breathtaking icebergs and immerse yourself in Inuit heritage and culture.
Prices start from US $400,000 for 12 guests aboard X-1 Jets’ Greenland Explorer Yacht Expedition.
