Journey to Greenland with Cox & Kings
Travelers to Greenland will experience up-close encounters with the majestic Eqi Glacier, and its ice walls, which rise up to 300 feet as well as a hike along the shore of the UNESCO-listed Ice Fjord. Discovering the culture is a hands-on experience with a visit to a local Greenlandic family and the hunter's settlement of Rodebay, where guests will get to know local hunters and their trade. Guests can immerse themselves further into this unique culture, by taking an authentic dogsled ride. The journey also includes a stay in the town of Ilulissat at the Hotel Arctic, the world's northernmost 4-star hotel. Guests of the hotel enjoy an exceptional sense of place as the rooms directly face the magnificent icebergs on the Ice Fjord. The hotel's General Manager keeps a team of twelve sled dogs just outside the hotel where every afternoon guests can gather around and watch their daily feeding.

The price for the six-day, five-night Greenland: Majestic Glaciers & Inuit Heritage starts at $8,460.00 per person and is based on double occupancy. Prices are valid from June 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014. This journey is an excellent add-on to any of Cox & Kings' Iceland itineraries, as the optimal travel route to and from Greenland is via Reykjavik. The ideal travel time to Greenland is mid-June until mid-September, and in August, when clients may experience the midnight sun and starting in October the natural wonder of The Northern Lights.

In addition to Greenland, Cox & Kings is also offering specials on new itineraries throughout Europe this summer to more classic destinations. For example, travelers may be enticed to extend their European holiday by adding on a 3-night stay in Vienna with rates starting at $1350.00 per person representing a savings of $950.00 when booked by July 31, 2014.
