Greenland

Greenland, also known as Kalaallisut Kalaallit Nunaat, is the largest island in the world. Greenland is a territory of the Kingdom of Denmark that is administered separately from the rest of the country. Visitors who take a trip to this remote region will see a unique blend of European and Inuit traditions. All this occurs amid a harsh but beautiful scenery of ice, rock, and the sea.

An adventurous spirit is necessary for a trip to Greenland. But passengers on one of the many luxury cruise ships may be assured that their comfort is never compromised. The capital city of Nuuk is located 317 kilometers from the country's primary international airport in Kangerlussuaq. The Inuit, who are considered to be the indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic, make up the vast majority of Greenland's population. Greenland's waters are home to a variety of whales, including belugas, Greenland whales, blues, fins, minkes, narwhals, and sperm whales.
