Often called the land of ice, Greenland is the world's largest island and an extraordinary destination for travelers who want to experience the Arctic up close. Around 80% of Greenland is covered by an ice sheet, creating a spectacular landscape of towering icebergs, massive glaciers, rugged mountains, and remote coastlines. Depending on your itinerary, your cruise to Greenland may also take you to Iceland, Norway, or other incredible destinations in the North Atlantic. Go ashore to experience local Inuit culture, explore colorful coastal communities, and venture into the Arctic wilderness. Read More
A Greenland cruise is unlike almost any other cruise vacation. As you sail along Greenland's spectacular coastline, keep your eyes open for some of the Arctic's most fascinating wildlife. Depending on your itinerary and the season, you may spot whales 
, seals, musk oxen, reindeer, Arctic foxes, and an incredible variety of seabirds 
.
Your itinerary may include stops in colorful coastal communities such as Qaqortoq, Paamiut, Nanortalik, and Nuuk, Greenland's capital. The brightly painted houses in shades of red, yellow, blue, and green stand out against the dramatic Arctic landscape and make every port feel unique. Greenland has very few roads connecting its communities, so getting around is part of the adventure. Depending on where you visit, local excursions may take you by boat, helicopter, or even dog sled. 
Explore a remote settlement, sail among icebergs, meet local residents, or venture into the wilderness for a closer look at Greenland's extraordinary natural beauty.
Most Greenland cruises operate during the warmer months, generally from late spring through early fall, when sea conditions and daylight make it easier to explore this remote Arctic destination. 
From late May into July, parts of Greenland experience the Midnight Sun, with extremely long days and little to no darkness. 
Summer also offers excellent opportunities to see Greenland's icebergs, glaciers, wildlife, and colorful coastal towns.
Even during the summer, Arctic weather can be cold and change quickly, so pack warm layers, waterproof clothing, and sturdy shoes. The landscape can look completely different depending on the season and weather conditions. As the snow retreats, areas of exposed rock and green vegetation appear, while reindeer graze across the landscape and enormous icebergs continue their journey along the coast. A cruise to Greenland gives you the opportunity to experience this remote Arctic world from the comfort of your ship while discovering a destination few travelers ever get to see.
