07 Jun Farewell Greenland
Sadly, it's time to say goodbye to Ilulissat.
After breakfast, we will check out of our hotels and transfer to the airport. For those who purchased a flight with us, we will be boarding the flight from Ilulissat back to Copenhagen. The expected arrival time in Copenhagen is 21:00.
Guests are responsible for their own flights home from Copenhagen. Keep in mind that you will need time to collect your bags and check in to your next flight; thus, we don't recommend booking flights within three hours of arrival in Copenhagen. Due to swift weather changes in Greenland, flight delays can be expected.
For those who organise their own flights, we will be bidding farewell to you in Ilulissat.
Thank you for a fantastic race week!
