I love hearing about Qeqertarsuaq and all the unique experiences there. The whale microphone at the Arctic Station sounds so cool—imagine getting real-time insight into marine mammals! Plus, a boat trip in that setting is probably stunning, with Disko Bay right there.

 

I’ve been on a couple of trips like this, though never as fancy as arriving by a royal yacht, obviously. But I did treat myself once by upgrading to business class flights. Honestly, it's worth it for long hauls. You arrive refreshed and ready to dive into all the activities, like those the Regent couple is doing here.
