Greenland Cruises
Colossal icebergs, Inuit culture, and the world's largest island. Greenland cruises offer expedition-style voyages through an arctic wonderland.
Cruising the Greenland
Greenland, the world's largest island, is 80% covered by a vast ice sheet up to 3 kilometres thick — a frozen wilderness that produces some of the largest icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere. Expedition cruises here combine breathtaking ice scenery with encounters with one of the world's most ancient and resilient cultures.
The Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on Greenland's west coast, is the star attraction. Here, the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier calves enormous icebergs that drift through the fjord towards Disko Bay — a spectacle of nature that draws photographers and adventurers from around the world.
Greenland's east coast is far more remote, with dramatic fjord systems, towering mountains, and tiny Inuit settlements accessible only by boat or helicopter. Expedition ships navigate through pack ice to reach Scoresby Sund — the world's largest fjord system — where the silence is broken only by the crack of calving ice and the bark of sled dogs.
