Nuuk was founded by the unfailingly optimistic Hans Egede - the Danish missionary with soul-conversions on his mind - who promptly named the settlement Good Hope. Today Nuuk is small by modern standards, with a total population of only 14,000. Despite a wealth of land and a paucity of people, Nuuk has insisted on housing the population in immense apartment blocks with imaginative names like Blok P - a kind of Gulag on ice - and the urban sprawl is now spreading out along the road to the airport. Kolonihavnen is a pleasant exception to the rest of Nuuk's Lego-city look: it's a picturesque 18th-century fishing village in the heart of Nuuk and gives some idea of what the town looked like before the industrial harbour was built. Nuuk's real attraction lies in its proximity to any number of excellent day hikes into the hinterland and the fabulous views from the tops of the nearby mountains. Organised tours, boat trips and the rental of equipment is easier from the capital.
Le Lyrial, the fourth ship in the Sisterships series, epitomizes a new generation of intimately sized cruise ships. Its sleek exterior and refined interior design exude understated elegance, making it a truly unique and innovative yacht.
For the interior decoration, inspiration was drawn from the tones and colors of the destinations, featuring a palette of blues—from the soft, luminous grey-like hues of polar ice to the vibrant shades and turquoises of Mediterranean inlets and coves.
