Itineraries and shore excursions
At Vela, we specialise in creating tailored shore excursion programmes and pre- and post-tours for cruise lines in Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. These destinations offer travellers an authentic encounter with the Arctic and Nordic spirit, majestic nature, vibrant local culture and welcoming communities.
Every collaboration begins with a personal dialogue to understand your guests, expectations and brand identity. From there, we provide ideas and suggestions for experiences that align with your cruise schedule and bring each destination to life.
Our goal is to deliver meaningful, smoothly operated shore excursions that highlight local people, traditions and nature. Creating lasting impressions for your guests and strong partnerships for our clients.

GREENLAND
Kalaallit Nunaat
The white country in the remote Arctic.

The multi-colored country with geothermal pools everywhere.
Discover an adventure of your lifetime in magnificent changing landscapes, delivering everything from glaciers, active volcanoes, red- and black sand beaches to wildlife and basalt stone formations.
FAROE ISLANDS
Føroyar
The energetic green islands in the remote North.
Discover the naked fields and landscapes close surrounded by the living ocean and its impulsive climate, where local people live in harmony with integrated traditional culture, excellent food and great innovation.
Caring for Communities and Natures
Our vision is to lead the way in responsible travel, with strong CSR principles at the heart of everything we do. We focus on supporting local socioeconomic growth, engaging communities, and delivering excellent service and quality rather than quantity, while carefully protecting the environment around us.
We aim to leave only footprints we can all be proud of.
