NORTHERN EUROPE CRUISES
Greenland Cruises
Many of the world’s largest cruise ships can regularly be seen in Greenland water, including vessels from Norwegian Cruise Line, 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.
