NORTHERN EUROPE CRUISES
Greenland Cruises
Many of the world’s largest cruise ships can regularly be seen in Greenland water, including vessels from Costa Cruises, Holland America Line, MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, Princess Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea Cruises, Viking Ocean Cruises, and other cruise lines.
Enriched by a strong marine tradition, Greenland's history and culture are deeply rooted in its relationship with the sea. As the world's largest island, the sea has always been central to Greenland's Inuit population, influencing their hunting traditions, transportation, and trade practices. This connection to the sea is depicted in their rich folklore, where tales of sea creatures and daring maritime exploits abound. Visiting the National Museum in Nuuk provides an insight into this fascinating culture, reflecting the resilient spirit of the Greenlandic people. A cruise to Greenland is not just a journey through stunning landscapes but also a passage into an ancient culture that has braved the Arctic elements for centuries.

The country presents a rare opportunity to cruise along breathtaking fjords, observe mighty icebergs up close, and experience the unique phenomenon of the midnight sun.

As you sail along the Greenlandic coast, you will bear witness to a spectacular world where ice, sea, and sky converge in a symphony of natural wonder.

Wildlife enthusiasts can observe a wide range of Arctic species, from reindeer and musk oxen to humpback whales and seals. The extraordinary natural beauty and the diversity of wildlife make every outdoor experience in Greenland an adventure to remember.
Language and Currency
Greenlandic is the official language, but Danish and English are also widely spoken. The Danish Krone is the accepted currency, and credit cards are commonly used in larger towns. Tipping is not customary but appreciated for good service. Bargaining or haggling is not a part of the shopping culture in Greenland, with fixed prices in shops and markets.
