If you think back to school, remember that Greenland is the one with all the ice, right? And while it’s true that Greenland is both huge and mostly icy, there are actually places on the southernmost tip that are just perfect for cruising. When you show up in the summer, remember that it’s always jacket weather here — we are still in the Arctic Circle, barely! — but small port towns welcome visitors warmly to experience all the history and culture of their native people. And while you’re in the neighborhood, you’ll also have a chance to check out some of eastern Canada’s most scenic seaside towns in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia — yep, visit two cool countries on one cruise!

Explore above 80° north on a soul-stirring journey. Set off on a grand polar adventure that traces the spectacular icy shores of Western Greenland and Arctic Canada. Sail into dramatic fjords, narrow straits and breathtaking bays, and call in on remote villages where Inuit communities have lived off the land for hundreds of years. Heading ever northward, follow leads through the ice to search for the King of the Arctic, the polar bear, along with other iconic wildlife from whales to walrus. Finally, in the farthest reaches of the region, discover the untamed beauty of the storied Northwest Passage and experience the intoxicating thrill of true exploration.

There are numerous high points along this northernmost Baffin Bay itinerary. Travel well above 80º north and learn dramatic stories of the explorers and adventurers who sought this magnificent, icy frontier. Glide between soaring icebergs at the mouth of Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore Ellesmere Island with binoculars at the ready to spot polar bears, walruses, ringed seals, belugas, bowhead whales and the elusive narwhal. Visit the “Jewel of the North,” Pond Inlet, a small Inuit community known for its friendly community and world-renowned soapstone carvings. And marvel at the unique volcanic black-sand beaches, hot springs and waterfalls of Disko Island, a Greenlandic island often compared to Iceland.

Passage is aboard the 126-guest National Geographic Endurance , which offers active exploration via hiking, walking, kayaking and Zodiac riding amidst stunning scenery. Options abound to make each expedition as active as you choose, and each day join a different naturalist for more viewpoints. Explore under the sure guidance of expedition leaders, an assistant expedition leader, veteran naturalists, a National Geographic photographer, a Global Perspectives guest speaker, an undersea specialist, a wellness specialist and a video chronicler.

High Arctic Archipelago: Canada & Greenland Itinerary

This 24-day itinerary operates round-trip from Reykjavik, Iceland, with charter flights to embark and disembark in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.

Route map of Gateway to The Northwest Passage: Greenland & Canada cruise, cruising Baffin Bay round-trip from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland with bookend charter flights to start & end in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Arrive in Reykjavík. Take a tour excursion to see Iceland’s hot springs, beautiful Icelandic Horses and a fascinating power plant. After lunch, check into the centrally located group hotel.

lunch, dinner

The morning is at leisure followed by lunch and a tour of the city ending at either the National Museum or the Whale Museum. Transfer to the airport for a chartered flight to Greenland and embark the ship at the head of Kangerlussuaq fjord, a 120-mile-long waterway whose name means “large fjord” in Greenlandic.

National Geographic Endurance

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Dozens of deep fjords carve into Greenland’s west coast, many with glaciers fed by the ice sheet that covers about 80 percent of the country. Discover this beautiful and rugged coastline in Zodiacs, keeping an eye out for humpback and minke whales. At Sisimiut, a former whaling port, visit the museum and stroll around a picturesque jumble of historic and modern wooden buildings.

Sail into Qeqertarsuup Tunua, also known as Disko Bay, to explore the World Heritage site of Ilulissat Icefjord, a tongue of the Greenland ice cap that extends to the sea. Take an extraordinary cruise among towering icebergs at the mouth of the fjord. Visit the town of Ilulissat and walk to the archaeological site in Sermermiut, an abandoned valley previously inhabited by several distinct Inuit cultures.

Continue exploring the Canadian High Arctic with a visit to the small Inuit community of Pond Inlet, Nunavut. Explore some of the beautiful bays and inlets along Baffin Island’s Lancaster Sound, a favorite Inuit hunting and fishing location for hundreds of years. Carved by Ice Age glaciers, Lancaster Sound is also the eastern gateway to the Arctic Archipelago, where European explorers like William Baffin first ventured in the 17th century to search for the Northwest Passage. Days here will be spent searching for ringed seals, arctic foxes, walruses and polar bears, as well as beluga and bowhead whales. Visit Devon Island and take a walk with the ship’s archaeologist to learn about the Thule people—ancestors of the modern Inuit—that once inhabited this region.

Explore the ice-choked channels and glacier carved islands that stretch for hundreds of miles— a stunning display of raw geology. Delve into the rocky Mars-like terrain of uninhabited Devon Island. Take cues from nature: following wildlife, stopping for hikes on the tundra, dropping anchor in a beautiful fjord or an iceberg-strewn bay to explore and kayak beneath massive ice sculptures and soaring cliffs. Sail past the northernmost part of mainland North America in the Bellot Strait, one of the narrowest and most infamous of the passage. Learn about the Inuit peoples who have hunted and fished here for thousands of years, as well as be on the lookout for the animals that call this region home such as ringed seals, arctic foxes, musk oxen, walruses and polar bears, as well as beluga and bowhead whales.

Heading ever northward, the ship makes her way up the beautiful and remote east coast of Ellesmere Island. Cruise along scenic Smith Bay (a.k.a. Skog Inlet) bordered by a steep wall of mountains, with a glacial ice tongue which pours down the mountains on either side. Be up on the bridge to search for a patch of “polar bear ice,” the mixture of first-year and multi-year sea ice that is the preferred habitat of the ice bears. Your binoculars seek out any small ivory-colored dot on an otherwise white ice surface, then strain to see the dot move. Yes, it is a bear, spotted at a considerable distance. The ship approaches, ever so slowly, stalking the polar bear much as the bear stalks seals on the ice. At the end of the bay, go ashore to hike or kayak in picturesque surroundings. Ice is always present here.

During the next day, enter Buchanan Bay and turn into Alexandra Fjord to reach the area of Skraeling Island. (“Skraeling” is the word that the Norse settlers of Greenland used for the Inuit.) This is the site of an important archaeological find. Norse artifacts show that the Norse traded with the natives here on Ellesmere Island, far north of their settlements on Greenland. Last summer, quite unexpectedly, the remains of a summer encampment of natives were discovered, possibly of the Thule Culture (the third of the three Inuit cultures to occupy this area.) Travelers saw rings of stones that held down the edges of skin tents against the wind, and stone chambers that might have been constructed for storage. Perhaps the Inuit camped at this very site as they traded with the Norsemen, exchanging skins and walrus ivory for European goods, especially metal.

Continue to explore north, ice conditions permitting. Take full advantage of your “human resources”—your experienced captain, expedition leader and naturalists—as well as the ship’s technological resources. Chart where the ice is impenetrable and where there are leads guiding all to exciting discoveries.

Marking the southern border of Melville Bay, Kiatassuaq Island means “a large torso” in the Greenlandic language and is known as an important area for whaling in the 19th century. Spend the day exploring the southern reaches of Melville Bay and shores of the island, marveling at the ice dispatched from the Greenland Ice Cap as well as being on the lookout for whales and other marine life.

Continue south, stopping to explore the volcanic Disko Island, home to isolated Greenlandic settlements, dramatic cliffs laced with waterfalls and black-sand beaches.

Sail back into Søndre Strømfjord to Kangerlussuaq and disembark the ship. Take an evening charter flight to Reykjavík and transfer to the Marriott Keflavik Airport Hotel. On the final morning, choose to enjoy a soak in the Blue Lagoon or take a tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula before transferring to the airport for flights home.

Welcome to Reykjavík

Explore the world’s northernmost capital, Reykjavík

Your adventure begins with an overnight stay in Reykjavík.  

 A laid-back city of art, culture and history, delightful Reykjavík is well worth spending some time getting to know it.  

Take a stroll along Laugavegur with its boutiques and outdoor shops, gaze in awe at the striking Hallgrímskirkja church, and drop in on the fascinating Reykjavík Art Museum.

If you have the time, we recommend booking a Pre-Program with us and discovering some of Iceland’s natural highlights before your cruise begins.

Embarkation Day in Nuuk

Welcome to the capital of Greenland

You'll have an early start today as we depart Reykjavík and fly to Nuuk.  

Nuuk is Greenland’s colorful and compact capital with a population of fewer than 20,000. Located just 150 miles from the Arctic Circle, this picturesque city is a striking mix of old and modern buildings, set against a backdrop of the mountainous peaks Quassussuaq and Ukkusissat.  

Your expedition ship awaits you in the harbor. After being welcomed aboard and collecting your complimentary expedition jacket, it's time to settle into your cabin before enjoying your first dinner on board.

Crossing the Arctic Circle

Sailing towards the Arctic Circle, your Expedition Team will brief you on the AECO rules and recommendations regarding visiting the Arctic region safely and responsibly. Make sure you attend these mandatory presentations if you want to join planned landings as we head north. 

 You can also enjoy the state-of-the-art ship facilities and join the first lectures on Arctic Canada-related topics such as ornithology, geopolitics and culture. You’ll also learn about the Citizen Science projects we run on board the ship. 

At some point during the sailing, we’ll cross the Arctic Circle, entering the lands of the midnight Sun at the height of summer.

East Coast of Baffin Island (Qikiqtaaluk)

Cross into the majesty of the unknown

The shores of Baffin Island (Qikiqtaaluk) are guarded by ice for most of the year. In August, the ice begins to recede, allowing ships to navigate these waters for just a short period of time. The sea ice environment around the island is a natural wonder that creates a rich habitat for wildlife. 

Our objective is to reach the small settlement of Qikiqtarjuaq, where we hope to begin our adventures in Arctic Canada.  

 In true explorer style, our route will be determined by the presence and concentration of sea ice. We will plan our excursions and landing sites in consultation with local communities, so as not to disrupt their seasonal activities.  

Possible destinations include:

  Isabella Bay (Ninginganiq)  

Ninginganiq (Isabella Bay) National Wildlife Area is a critical habitat for Arctic wildlife, most notably bowhead whales. As a summer feeding ground for these massive marine mammals, it’s a crucial area for their conservation.  

Sam Ford Fjord (Kangiqtualuk Uqquqti) and Gibbs Fjord  

With towering peaks and epic glaciers, these fjords are renowned for their impressive scenery and are popular with nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. This area is rich in wildlife, with marine mammals like seals and whales, and a variety of bird species.   

Coutts Inlet (Inalugaarjuup Kangiqłua)  

Experience the solitude and serenity of this remote and seldom-visited wilderness. The 50-mile-deep fjord system contains two arms: the “North Arm” and the main inlet itself. One of the Arctic’s most elusive species, the narwhal, can be found here.

Relax at Sea

Sailing to the gates of the Northwest Passage

After a few days of exploration, enjoy a day at sea and prepare for what lies ahead as we continue northward to the entrance of the Northwest Passage.  

Days at sea are the perfect time to relax on board, perhaps chatting with new friends in the Expedition Lounge & Bar, catching up on any lectures you may have missed and enjoying leisurely lunches. If you haven’t tried the hot tubs yet, now’s your chance.

Lancaster Sound and Devon Island

Welcome to Lancaster Sound (Tallurutiup Imanga), the gateway to the Northwest Passage. 

 This breathtaking sound is home to incredible scenery, iconic Arctic wildlife and colorful Inuit communities. We plan to sail deep into the sound, and over the course of three days in the area, our possible exploration sites include:  

Dundas Harbour  

This historic and scenic site is on the southern shores of Devon Island. The harbor is a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) post, and it was also a base for scientific research and exploration. It’s a great spot for a hike, and musk oxen are frequently seen along the peninsula.  

Beechey Island (Iluvilik) 

This site holds a significant place in the history of Arctic exploration, as it is known particularly for the ill-fated Franklin expedition in the mid-19th century. The island is home to several well-preserved grave sites of expedition members and a monument commemorating Arctic exploration efforts. 

Croker Bay  

A picturesque bay on the south coast of Devon Island. With two large outlet glaciers streaming down from the island’s ice cap, this is an excellent place for small boat cruising. You may even spot walruses lounging around the calved ice floes. 

  Coburg Island (Nirjutiqarvik) 

This island is a protected National Wildlife Area, and it lives up to its Inuktitut name, Nirjutiqarvik, meaning “The Place of Animals.” The island is renowned for its significant seabird colonies, including large populations of thick-billed murres and northern fulmars, and it’s an important feeding ground for marine mammals.

Expedition Day

Enjoy a day of adventure in the far north

Before your adventure continues to northwest Greenland, enjoy a day on expedition in the north of Baffin Bay. 

From landings to kayaking, be ready for anything as your Captain and Expedition Team decide on the best sites and activities based on the day’s conditions.   Land at sites linked to early exploration history, visit Inuit communities and look out for Arctic wildlife such as whales, narwhals, seals and seabirds.

Discovering the Thule Region

Explore life at the edge of the world

“Ultima Thule ” was the term used in the 4th century BC by the Greek explorer Pytheas to describe a mythical land in the far north. Nobody knows for sure which land Pytheas had in mind when he coined this name, but for some, it has come to refer to the far north in Greenland. 

As we explore here, expect wild beauty at the edge of the inhabitable world. Extreme climatic conditions all year round guarantee isolation and tough living conditions for the inhabitants and, even by Arctic standards, the Thule region is harsh and remote. And yet, this was the first region in Greenland ever to be colonized by the forerunners of the Inuit, somewhere around 4,500 years ago. How they managed to survive and thrive in that environment still puzzles Arctic archaeologists. 

The abundant bird and animal life provides sustenance, and the traditional hunting culture has survived better here than elsewhere in Greenland. The polar travel know-how of the locals has been highly sought after on European and American expeditions, either as guides or saviors. In fact, thanks to its position, the region has been the natural starting point for many travelers heading towards the North Pole.  

While always adapting our program to the changing weather and ice conditions, we will spend the next few days exploring the region. We aim to visit some of the local communities, land with expedition boats to marvel at the power of nature, sail through icy channels and—with a bit of luck—spot some of the giants of the Arctic, including walruses, orcas, narwhals, belugas and perhaps even polar bears.

Melville Bay

Relax and learn at sea

We’ll spend the day on the open seas crossing Melville Bay. This is a huge bay bordering the icy coast of Lauge Koch, where the ice caps meet the sea. Known by the locals as Qimusseriarsuaq, meaning “The Great Dog Sledding Place,” the bay was renamed by British explorers after Robert Dundas, 2nd Viscount Melville, in the mid-19th century. 

Enjoy your day as we sail well beyond 70 degrees north. Relax on board, join in with wildlife watches out on deck with the Expedition Team, and learn more about the Arctic with the ongoing series of lectures on topics such as nature, geology and mythology.

West Greenland

Discover the wonders of west Greenland

The final chapter of our epic voyage around Baffin Bay takes us to an area of extreme natural beauty: the fjords of West Greenland and Disko Bay. Known as the “iceberg factory of the Arctic,” this area produces the most ice of anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere.   

As always, nature is in charge and our exact route will depend on the weather and ice conditions on the day. Possible landing sites include:  

  Uummannaq Fjord  

In Greenland’s far north, the beauty of the land and the relative productivity of the environment have attracted people here for thousands of years. Intriguing archaeological sites are silent witnesses to the ability of Arctic people to thrive in such a harsh environment. We may visit the community of Uummannaq—a beautiful island town with a heart-shaped mountain—or the archaeological site of Qilakitsok, where the famed Greenland mummies were discovered. 

  Viagat Sound  

Also called Sullorsuaq Strait, this beautiful waterway sits between two rugged land masses at the north end of Disko Bay. Depending on the weather and wildlife conditions, we might use our small expedition boats to land on a beach or perhaps get up close to a glacier. Have your binoculars and camera ready, as wildlife sightings in this region can include humpbacks, orcas and bowhead whales, as well as several types of seals.  

  UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord  

This spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site regularly tops the list of things to see and do in Greenland. Marvel at giant icebergs floating placidly in the deep blue water as they take on different hues of white, gray and blue. All photographers, regardless of skill, will return to the ship with enviable images. Visit the Icefjord Centre in Ilulissat to learn more about the ice in this fascinating area, and take a hike to Sermermiut to drink in the incredible views.

Towards Nuuk

A final day at sea to rest and reflect

After exploring the ethereal, rugged beauty of western Greenland, you'll enjoy a day at sea, recapping highlights with the Expedition Team, learning more about the delicate ecology of Greenland in the Science Center, and relaxing.  

 Out on deck, you might spot  whales or the seabirds that like to follow our ship. Our on-board photographer will share tips to capture them in action. You can even log any whales you see with the Happywhale Citizen Science project.  

 This might be the time to enjoy the panoramic sauna, on-deck hot tubs or heated pool. Why not book a treatment in our wellness area? Otherwise, simply enjoy the company of your fellow explorers over drinks in the Explorer Lounge & Bar.

End of Expedition in Nuuk

Return to Nuuk

Today, as we arrive back in Nuuk, you’ll have completed your voyage around Baffin Bay. Say a fond farewell to MS Roald Amundsen, her crew and the Expedition Team. 

 Nuuk  is a relative metropolis compared to all the other towns in the country you have visited over the last couple of weeks, and it's a fascinating window into modern Greenland.   

 From here, you'll catch a flight back to Reykjavík and enjoy an overnight stay at a local hotel.

Qaqortoq Cruise Port Guide

Qaqortoq, Greenland is a place teeming with thousands of years of Nordic history, soothing hot springs, and water activities like exploring on a sailboat. On a transatlantic cruise that stops in Greenland, you’ll find yourself far from the ordinary. Traveling in an Arctic climate requires a certain level of curiosity and adventure, but you never have to sacrifice comfort while you explore the region on one of our luxury cruise ships. 

Only about 3,000 people live in Qaqortoq, which means it’s a cozy, tight-knit community. Take a dip in the hot springs of Uunartoq for complete rejuvenation and restoration. Discover the ruins of an ancient Viking settlement at Hvalsey Church. Experience authentic cuisine from the area, or simply walk around the colorful streets. On your Greenland cruise, this quirky colonial town will welcome you with open arms.

Top sights & attractions for cruises to qaqortoq, lake tasersuaq.

The majestic beauty of this artsy Greenland town is best experienced on foot. A hike around Lake Tasersuaq promises incredible views of Qaqortoq and the mountain just beyond.

Hvalsey Church

The last evidence of the Vikings in Greenland can be found at Hvalsey Church, where the best-preserved Nordic ruins in the area overlook the waterfront. The isolated, commanding ruins showcase thousands of years of Nordic history. Guided tours are popular, and it takes about 25-30 minutes via boat to reach the ruins of Hvalsey Church.

Qaqortoq Museum

The Qaqortoq Museum is an ideal stop for history buffs during a Greenland cruise. The museum is cleverly located within an old blacksmith workshop. Here, you’ll find artifacts of both the Inuit and Norse populations from thousands of years ago.

Learn More About Transatlantic Shore Excursions

Top things to do in qaqortoq, enjoy the arts.

Take a tour called the Qaqortoq Art Walk, where you’ll experience an interactive, open-air art exhibition featuring the work of nearly 20 Nordic artists. Each of the 24 sculptures carefully cradles the city of Qaqortoq. Called “Stone and Man,” it’s a can’t-miss experience for Nordic history buffs and art lovers.

Nature Walks

Qaqortoq is best experienced on foot, whether you’re taking a nature tour through the foothills or gallivanting through the center of town. Qaqortoq’s hillsides lead to stunning fjord views, dramatic landscapes, and rows of colorful colonial homes in red, orange, and green everywhere you look.

Top Food & Drink Spots Near the Qaqortoq Cruise Port

The food scene in Qaqortoq is minimal, so don’t expect to find chain restaurants lining every street corner downtown. Stop in for drinks and live music at Arctic Cafe. When you see a yellow VW peeking from the wall, you’ll know you’re in the right place. Restaurant Napparsivik is popular for morning or afternoon coffee, fresh meat and fish dishes, and regional eats. Inside the Hotel Qaqortoq, enjoy a drink at Mikisoq, a local pub.

Culture & History of the Qaqortoq Cruise Port

Surviving in the frigid climate was no small feat for early residents, who were Paleo-Eskimo populations, Norse Vikings, and later, the Dorset people. Most of Greenland is occupied by arctic ice caps, so most people who settle down to live in the country gather in coastal cities and towns. By the 20th century, Greenland had established strong trade ties with North America and Denmark. The economy relies on natural resources, from whaling to fishing.

Qaqortoq Port Facilities & Location

Once you arrive, there is a tourist office with helpful city maps and free internet. You can get your bearings here before heading out to explore. Local maps detail the area’s hiking trails and the most popular attractions you can choose from on a Greenland cruise to Qaqortoq.

Transportation in Qaqortoq

Qaqortoq is fairly walkable, and there’s a ferry service that connects the city to other parts of the country. You can head into the center of town after a short tender ride while on cruises to Iceland and Greenland.

Shopping Near the Qaqortoq Cruise Port

Shopping near the Qaqortoq cruise port is fairly minimal since the town has a population of 3,000 people. Qaqortoq Souvenir Shop is a popular place to shop for keepsakes like handmade goods and authentic souvenirs.

Local Currency & Tipping Customs

The official currency of Greenland is the Danish krone (DKK), but you’ll find British pounds and U.S. dollars are accepted in some establishments. Credit and debit cards are less likely to be used in smaller shops, so be sure to ask when you arrive before trying to pay with a credit card. A service charge is typically included in your bill at restaurants.

Things to Know Before Taking a Greenland Cruise

T he chance to kayak between bobbing bits of electric-blue icebergs, experience traditional Greenlandic customs, spot the northern lights, hike along rugged fjords, and scan the horizon for whales-these are some of the reasons travel to Greenland has been growing steadily for the past two decades (not including during the pandemic).

Granted, it's not an easy country to get around. Because Greenland is so vast and most of its communities aren't connected by roads (locals get around by boat, bush plane, or sled dog team), one of the most convenient ways to see the country is on an expedition cruise.

Having just sailed with Scenic Cruises to Greenland , I've been asked myriad questions from curious travelers, ranging from "Is it really covered in ice?" to "What do you do on a cruise to Greenland?" With those inquiries (and others) in mind, here are some of the things that are useful to know before booking a cruise to Greenland.

Understand the basics

Greenland is one of the most sparsely populated places in the world. It is an 836,330-square-mile island-larger than Texas, California, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and Maine combined. However, only about 57,000 people live there (nearly 90 percent of whom are Indigenous), and most residents are concentrated in a handful of cities along the western coast.

The cruising season for Greenland is rather short-the bulk of all sailings are in July, August, and September, due to high concentrations of icebergs. And though roughly 80 percent of Greenland is covered by an ice sheet (the world's largest, outside of Antarctica), in the summer, the fjords are awash in green moss and grasses and dotted with wildflowers like fireweed and buttercups.

Choose the right operator (and itinerary) for you

A number of cruise companies have started offering sailings to Greenland in recent years. The majority are small expedition brands, with space enough for 100 to 300 guests onboard, including such lines as Lindblad, Hurtigruten, Adventure Canada, Quark, and Scenic. Some larger cruise lines, like Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line, occasionally sail here, as well.

The embarkation and disembarkation ports, the duration of the sailing, and the ship's icebreaking capabilities are among the factors that will dictate where travelers will be able to go. Some itineraries focus on the more populated western coast, where travelers can visit local communities, interact with residents, and shop for handicrafts. Others center around the rugged, wild eastern coast, where daily activities revolve around outdoor pursuits and maneuvering among the scenic ice. Longer journeys may tackle both.

If you're on a sailing that spotlights the western coast, you'll typically pull into port towns in the morning and will have the option to sign up for an organized day trip or to noodle around the area by yourself for the day. These are some of the highlights of a western sailing:

  • Nuuk: The largest city, where roughly a third of all people in Greenland live, is a popular stop, as it offers a small clutch of museums, a performing arts center, restaurants and bars, handicraft stores, and supermarkets.
  • Narsaq: Not far from Nuuk is this tiny sheep-herding and fishing community.
  • Ilulissat: Here passengers can visit a UNESCO-protected ice fjord that is home to one of the most active glaciers in the world.

Sailings on the eastern coast of Greenland don't typically pull into port. Instead, passengers load into 10-person inflatable dinghies known as Zodiacs to putter around floating bits of iceberg or to head to land for a hike. On the eastern side, spotting wildlife, including foxes, Arctic hares, seals, and shore birds, is more common. And because itineraries are more flexible, ships can stay put a little longer to watch nature unfold, like a glacier calving or pod of humpback whales bubble netting (where whales blow bubbles to confuse and trap fish for their podmates to eat). Decide which type of itinerary speaks most to you and opt for a sailing that aims to meet it.

Pick the right ship for your needs and wants

Another thing to consider is ship size. Smaller vessels can visit harder to reach places and offer guests a more intimate experience both on and off the ship. However, larger ships often have more onboard amenities, like spas, multiple dining rooms, and toys like helicopters and submarines that can showcase a different side of the destination. Deciding what are must-have amenities can help narrow your options.

Manage your nature viewing expectations

While it is possible to see showstoppers like polar bears and the northern lights while sailing in Greenland, there's no guarantee. Polar bears, for instance, are mostly concentrated in northern and eastern Greenland, typically in areas only accessible to ships with icebreaking capabilities. So, if missing out on seeing polar bears would disappoint you, perhaps consider a trip to Svalbard instead, where there's a higher concentration of the bears. And because Greenland sees the midnight sun, it's often too bright to see aurora borealis displays until late-season sailings (generally September, but potentially August). However, there are cruises, mostly in Norway , that cater to travelers looking to see a solar show.

Know what to pack

Despite many cruise companies emphasizing the need for polar gear, you might find that Greenland is warmer than you thought. In July through September, the average minimum temperature is in the low 40 degrees, while the average high is in the mid to upper 50s. As a Coloradian, I could get away with wearing hiking trousers and a flannel shirt for most outings on our early August sailing, though my Georgia-based travel companion typically added long underwear and a puffy jacket.

While your base and mid-layers involve personal preferences, there are a couple of non-negotiable items you'll need. Here's a short list of essential packing items:

  • A set of windproof and waterproof coats and pants: important for rides in Zodiacs, to protect from sea spray
  • A good pair of tall, waterproof boots: You'll likely need to do wet landings when going ashore in remote areas (meaning there's a chance of getting splashed by the tide when the Zodiac brings you to the beach) and there's also potential for walking in snow. Some operators provide boots for guests, so be sure to check ahead of time. If not, look into options like Xtratuf or Hunter.
  • Sunglasses: particularly important in snow or ice-covered areas because the sun's rays are reflected
  • Sunscreen: the days can be long and quite sunny

Be prepared for unpredictable ice and weather

While Greenland has seen dramatic changes at the hands of climate change in recent years, with diminishing glaciers and warmer temperatures, there is still ample ice, which can greatly affect what you're able to see and do on your sailing.

If there's too much ice around the shore, there's a chance you won't be able to make landings. It could also affect Zodiac rides and kayaking excursions. Because the ice rolls as it melts and the larger part of the mass is underwater, it's dangerous to get too close, so some expedition leaders may scrap water-based activities entirely, too, if there's excess ice.

Similarly, due to the mixing of coastal breezes and ice, fog is frequent (and thick) in Greenland. Because there's the risk of polar bears (the only type of bear that will actively hunt humans), cruise companies won't make landings if it's foggy (or raining so hard it affects visibility), so depending on the weather, you may end up spending a few days on the ship if you're on the eastern side of the country. Ditto for situations where the wind is making the water too choppy to safely navigate Zodiacs. Really any weather event that could put guests in danger (from the elements or from polar bears) means more time on the ship.

Come with an open mind

Typically, cruise companies will work with local tour operators to arrange for cultural experiences with Greenlandic people for cruise passengers. That could include a traditional kaffeemik (an afternoon coffee and cake meet-up), a historical walking tour, a craft beer tasting with the local brewmaster, and beyond. You might have the opportunity to dine on local food. That can include meals that wouldn't be uncommon in parts of the USA, like halibut, snow crab, herring, or lamb. It may also include proteins that visitors might find upsetting, such as polar bear, narwhal, and whale.

In Greenland, it is legal for Indigenous people to harvest a certain number of these animals on a yearly basis for subsistence purposes. It's also an important part of their culture.

Greenland is a harsh environment where it's too cold for most food to grow, so locals have long had to make do with what is available to them as a means of survival. You may find it helpful to remember that Greenlandic Inuit believe in wasting no part of the animals they harvest and taking only what is necessary. However, if you find this aspect of the experience disconcerting, this may not be the right cruise for you.

The ice in and around Greenland is both wonderful and humbling, and it can have a very real impact on itineraries.

And don’t forget the seafood

Now, let’s talk seafood. Dine like a New Englander by slurping a bowl of clam “chowdah,” savoring fresh crab cakes, or indulging in the sweetness of Maine blueberries. Cruise and chew your way through local dishes and delicacies for a taste of the region’s best flavors.

Not your grandma’s history lesson

Get ready to step into the pages of history with Princess’ American Heritage itineraries that'll have your heart pounding like a field drum. This isn’t your grandma’s history lesson; this is a time-traveling adventure more immersive than a Revolutionary War reenactment. Discover the allure of Norfolk, VA, where the captivating waterfront, lively cultural offerings, and the opportunity to explore the historic USS Wisconsin battleship await you. From Norfolk, you can make a pit stop in Yorktown, VA—it's not just a dot on the map; it's your gateway to the wonders of Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. And hold onto your tricorn hat because the excitement doesn't stop there. Charleston, Boston, and Halifax are on the lineup, offering up 10- and 11-day historical excursions.

Voyage through the chapters of American history

If you're itching to delve even deeper into the roots of this great nation, Princess presents their Historic America cruisetour. Spend seven nights on land uncovering the treasures of Washington D.C., Thomas Jefferson's Monticello estate, Colonial Williamsburg, and the legendary Gettysburg Battlefield. In Philadelphia, visit Independence Hall, ring the Liberty Bell, and stand where Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence. It's more than an experience; it’s a voyage through history.

Mist and marvels in Canada

For mist, marvels, and a delicious dose of Canadian history, you’re going to be captivated by Princess’ Maple Explorer cruisetour . Sail into the thunderous mist of Niagara Falls, where nature puts on a show like no other. Get drenched in the thrill of the falls before embarking on a historic journey through Canada's gems. First stop—Old Québec, the original walled city in North America. Walk its cobblestone streets, and you'll practically hear the whispers of the past echoing around you. This city's got stories, and it's ready to spill them.

Making waves in the Arctic

Princess is making big moves with its exclusive sailings to the coolest spot on the map—Greenland! As the only cruise line offering itineraries that explore multiple towns on the island, Princess is charting new waters with these unforgettable journeys. And trust us, the world's largest island is remote, rich, and ready to wow you. Departing from Boston, board Emerald Princess® for a unique, 17-day-long expedition that marries the best of the East Coast with three day-long visits to jaw-dropping ports in Greenland. Qaqortoq serves up scenic fjords that'll make your jaw drop even further. Nuuk is like stepping into a fairytale with storybook cottages straight out of a Hans Christian Andersen tale. And Nanortalik? It's a stroll through fields so colorful, that even rainbows would be jealous. With opportunities to view massive glaciers, experience vibrant culture, and do some out-of-this-world sightseeing, think of it as a love affair with nature that'll make all of your other vacations green with envy!

Sail, sip, and save!

Imagine this: Cocktails flowing like the waves, Wi-Fi faster than a ship sailing in a tailwind, and pre-paid gratuities for the crew. Why settle for good when you can make it great?
