For the boldest explorers and lovers of unspoiled nature, 2025 promises to be an unmissable year. Secret Atlas, a company specializing in Expedition Micro Cruises, launches an exclusive experience to discover East Greenland: an extraordinary journey reserved for only 12 adventurers, for an authentic and intimate encounter with the Arctic’s wild beauty. 

Founded in 2019 by experienced explorers, Secret Atlas has revolutionized the concept of polar cruising by offering an alternative to large commercial tours. Their expeditions are designed for small groups, ensuring an authentic experience far from the crowds. With a limited number of guests – only 12 for the Arctic and 48 for Antarctica – each traveler has the opportunity to experience untouched nature while respecting the environment and local culture. 

The new expedition, scheduled from August 27 to September 9, 2025, is a 14-day journey combining flight and navigation to provide total immersion in the magic of East Greenland. The itinerary includes two spectacular destinations: Scoresbysund Fjord, the world’s largest fjord system, and the Northeast Greenland National Park, the planet’s largest nature reserve. 

During the voyage aboard the MV Freya, guests will witness the majestic Arctic landscape up close, featuring towering icebergs and ancient glaciers. But the true highlight of this expedition is the wildlife: among the crystal-clear waters and untouched lands, travelers may spot musk oxen, narwhals, and, with a bit of luck, the elusive polar bear. 

Beyond its extraordinary natural beauty, the Secret Atlas cruise also offers a deep cultural immersion. During the expedition, guests will visit ancient archaeological sites that tell the story of the Thule, ancestors of today’s Inuit, and stop at the remote village of Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the most isolated settlements in the world. Here, they will get to know local traditions and learn how Greenlanders face life in such a fascinating yet challenging environment. 

What makes this experience even more special is the philosophy of Secret Atlas: an exclusive journey that does not compromise environmental respect. Aboard the MV Freya, guests will enjoy all the comforts of a high-level expedition, with spacious and cozy cabins, panoramic decks for observation, and a team of experts ready to guide the experience. 

Joining this expedition means becoming part of a select group of travelers with the opportunity to explore one of the last frontiers of wild nature. Michele D’Agostino, co-founder of Secret Atlas, emphasizes that this is not just an excursion but an intimate and profound exploration experience. The goal is to offer an exclusive journey, far from mass tourism, that allows travelers to discover Greenland in an authentic and environmentally respectful way. 

For those dreaming of an unprecedented adventure, far from the chaos and immersed in one of the planet’s most spectacular landscapes, this is the perfect opportunity.
