This is not the fastest way to reach Greenland.

It is the way you will remember. The North Atlantic Expedition turns the flight itself into the destination: seven closely connected days, a private aircraft and an unobstructed view of every decision, coast and weather system along the way.

The line north-west

Nine stops.
One continuous story.

Budapest → Magdeburg → Haugesund → Faroe Islands → Egilsstaðir → Reykjavík → Kulusuk → Qaqortoq → Nuuk — then home through Iceland, the Faroes, Norway and Germany.

Seven days

The core itinerary.

This is a flying expedition, not seven city breaks. Ground time is deliberate but compact; the aircraft, route and daily decisions are the experience.

  1. Day 01

    Northbound

    Budapest · Magdeburg · Haugesund

    Approx. 6–6.5 flight hours

    Europe falls away in stages. A technical stop in Magdeburg, then the Norwegian coast and the first expedition night in Haugesund.

  2. Day 02

    Into the Atlantic

    Haugesund · Faroe Islands

    Approx. 2.5–3 flight hours

    A single purposeful crossing to Vágar, where cliffs, cloud and runway meet. The shorter flying day leaves room to arrive properly.

  3. Day 03

    Across Iceland

    Faroe · Egilsstaðir · Reykjavík

    Approx. 3.5–4 flight hours

    Landfall on Iceland’s east coast, then west across the interior. The route itself becomes the view before an overnight in Reykjavík.

  4. Day 04

    Greenland day

    Reykjavík · Kulusuk · Qaqortoq · Nuuk

    Approx. 7.5–8 flight hours

    The defining day: open water, Greenland’s east coast, the southern fjords and a final arrival into Nuuk. Long, rare and unforgettable.

  5. Day 05

    Eastbound

    Nuuk · Reykjavík

    Approx. 5–5.5 flight hours

    One last Greenland departure, then back across the Denmark Strait. Reykjavík is the recovery point before the return through the islands.

  6. Day 06

    Island chain

    Reykjavík · Egilsstaðir · Faroe · Haugesund

    Approx. 6–6.5 flight hours

    Iceland, the Faroes and Norway in one day — three distinct landscapes connected from the same intimate flight deck.

  7. Day 07

    Homebound

    Haugesund · Magdeburg · Budapest

    Approx. 6–6.5 flight hours

    The final European legs close the circle in Budapest. Approximately 5,800 nautical miles become one continuous personal story.

What you receive

A front-row seat
to the whole mission.

There is no private-jet theatre here. The value is access: to the aircraft, the pilot, the route and an experience normally hidden behind an airline cabin door.

01

The whole aircraft

The Diamond DA62 is reserved for one pilot and two guests — no strangers, no fixed airline schedule.

02

The expedition pilot

An experienced pilot leads the route, decisions and a plain-language briefing before every flying day.

03

North Atlantic planning

Routing, fuel, handling, permits and practical weather decisions are built around the mission.

04

Overwater equipment

Mission-appropriate survival equipment, headsets and tracking are carried for the crossing.

05

A personal record

After the journey, each guest receives a route map and flight log of the expedition.

06

Ground coordination

Operationally suitable hotels and transfers can be coordinated around the flying plan.

The honest part

Small aircraft.
Big journey.

01 / Pack precisely

One soft bag. Eight kilograms.

No rigid suitcase and no separate cabin bag. We provide the dimensions; every item earns its place.

02 / Expect the real thing

Long days, close quarters.

No cabin crew and no onboard lavatory. Some days include several sectors and up to eight hours of flying.

03 / Protect the mission

Seven days, held inside nine.

Guests must keep a two-day personal flexibility window. North Atlantic weather always has the final word.

04 / Join the decisions

Briefed, never just transported.

You see the weather picture, understand the plan and hear why a route, delay or diversion is the right call.

Is it for you?

Choose this if the journey matters as much as Greenland.

You are curious about flying, comfortable with changing plans and happy to travel with very little. You would rather share a weather briefing than wait in a lounge.

If you need guaranteed arrival times, generous luggage, full standing-room comfort or a conventional luxury service, this is not the right trip — and that clarity protects the experience for everyone.
