Grand Journey

Formed by volcanic eruptions and settled by Norse Vikings, Iceland is an unforested land of volcanoes, hot springs, mountains, glaciers and northern lights. While its preserved language remains, this is a forward-thinking, eco-friendly country and Reykjavik is its capital where 60% of the population lives. Europe’s second largest island is known for whale watching and its ancient maritime history.

Qaqortoq is your gateway to uncovering Greenland`s pristine natural beauty. In the 18th century, European whalers and explorers began to visit the region, leading to increased contact between the Inuit and outsiders. During the island’s Danish colonialization from 1776 to 1945 it became a hub for trade in fur, blubber, and other resources and Danish influences are still evident in the architecture and culture of the town. But this is also a place of vast, natural beauty. Hiking trails await your footsteps amidst untouched wilderness, while kayaking adventures let you glide alongside icebergs glistening in the Arctic sun. With its dramatic landscapes of majestic mountains and serene fjords, this town is a true Arctic gem. The vibrant hues of Qaqortoq`s houses stand in stark contrast to the surrounding icy panoramas, creating a picturesque fusion of tradition and modernity. Engage with the local Inuit heritage through art galleries, cultural events, and encounters with friendly residents.

If you are a history lover, you will definitely enjoy exploring the 1000-year-old archeological site of L’Anse aux Meadows. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978, it reveals the heritage of the Vikings in this area. You can also participate in local activities related to the town’s unique history.

In the peaceful town of Bonne Bay, you will have time to explore enchanting landscapes and enjoy local events. Visit the Galliot Studios to explore the town’s art and enjoy occasional music performances as you sip on a hot espresso. To finish the day, take in the incredible views of Trout River Pond before embarking again on your next adventure.

The Fortress of Louisbourg was originally settled in 1713. Between 1720 and 1740, defensive walls were constructed around what was then a thriving fishing town. The fort became known as the &ldquo;Gibraltar of the North&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Dunkirk of America,&rdquo; both fitting nicknames for a formidable protector against British ships entering the Saint Lawrence River.&nbsp; In the 1960s, a reconstruction of one-quarter of the fortified town was undertaken, restoring it to its original appearance using French masonry techniques and even original stones. The result is Canada&rsquo;s most ambitious attempt to recall the past relationship between France and the American colonies.&nbsp; Your visit to this living museum will be conducted in two parts, beginning with a guided walk among the restored buildings.

In order to understand our guests’ preferences, and better recommend bespoke products and services we may create a “Guest Profile” by linking together and analyzing Guest Personal Data collected in the following circumstances: (i) when you purchase our products and services; (ii) when you travel with companies owned or operated by A&K Travel and its subsidiary companies; (iii) when you use our digital services; (iv) through cookies and other tracking technologies; (v) when you contact us or submit information to us; and (vi) through feedback and surveys.


During our interactions we may collect special categories of personal data about you as detailed below.This may be because you want us to have the information or inadvertently as result of a group you travel with (please see example below).It may also be because we need to know certain personal data about you which is special category data in order that we can provide you with the best possible service and advise you whether a trip is suitable for you.Health is one of the best examples of this.

E.g.If we receive a group booking from a specific religious association we will inadvertently have details of religious beliefs of those individuals.The same can be said for groups from political associations and trade union associations.

E.g.We are sometimes asked whether certain medication is allowed to be taken into certain jurisdictions which discloses certain medical conditions.

Other special category of personal data which we may end up receiving from you include details about your:

dietary requirements which may disclose your religious or philosophical beliefs;

You are not under any obligation to consent to us processing or disclosing your sensitive information in the manner described above and in our privacy policy. However, if you don’t agree then we won’t be able to process your data or transfer your data to our suppliers. As you will appreciate it would then be difficult to actually provide your holiday because making your holiday arrangements involves processing your data and transferring your data to our suppliers in order that they can provide the services.

If you have concerns with us processing or transferring your data then please discuss that with us at your earliest convenience in order that we can book your holiday and provide you with the necessary services.

If you are happy to consent to our use of your sensitive information, you will also be able to withdraw your consent at any time. However, as this will prevent us from providing your holiday, we will be required to treat any withdrawal of consent as a cancellation of your booking and the cancellation charges in the Booking Terms and Conditions for your booking will become payable.

IV. THE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING GUEST PERSONAL DATA

In most instances, we process your personal data under the legitimate interests of providing you products and services. In other instances, we obtain your consent to process your personal data where we are required to do so by applicable law – for example, where we want to use your contact details for marketing purposes or where the personal data we are collecting from you is sensitive personal data and we are not lawfully permitted to process your personal data on any other legal grounds. Where we rely on your consent for processing your personal data, you may withdraw your consent at any time, by contacting us at 

. Please note, however, that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on the consent you gave prior to withdrawal.

Where we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, we will log your objection to and stop such processing of your data, and we will not contact you again if requested. You may object to such direct marketing by clicking the unsubscribe link in each such direct marketing message or contacting us at 

While we always want you to be aware of how we are using your personal information, this does not necessarily mean in every instance that we are required to ask for your consent before we can use it. There may be instances where we process your personal data for our legitimate interests (furthering our business relationship with you) or on the basis of other lawful grounds (i.e., because we have established a relationship with you and need to process your personal data in order to provide you with the information and/or services you have requested), without having obtained your consent. We do not seek your consent in such cases largely so that we can provide you with services in an efficient way (or where in some cases it might not be possible for us to seek your consent because we must process personal data, for example, for the detection of fraud). Before processing your personal data, we will consider your rights and freedoms and will only commence such processing where we do not think your rights will be infringed.

Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, only a limited number of individuals within A&K Travel’s legal, finance, IT, accounting and customer care departments, as well as certain managers (i.e., only persons with assigned responsibility or managerial responsibility for a guest or groups of guests) will receive access to Guest Personal Data when necessary in connection with their job responsibilities.

If you provide A&K Travel with personal data about members of your family and/or other dependents (e.g., for emergency contact or benefits administration purposes), it is your responsibility to inform them of their rights relating to the processing of their personal data for these purposes. You are also responsible for obtaining the explicit consent of these individuals (unless you are authorized to provide such consent on their behalf) to the processing (including disclosure and transfer) of that personal data for the purposes set out in this Policy.
