Find your next adventure
TRAVELLING TO Greenland
Unique, spectacular and dramatically beautiful, Greenland is dominated by a vast ice cap that covers 80% of the island. It is the largest non-continental island in the world, lying almost entirely within the Arctic Circle.
For British travellers, a Greenland cruise is the ideal Arctic introduction to remote fishing communities, icy landscapes, and breathtaking fjords.
Why go on a cruise to Greenland?
Greenland’s waters are strewn with icebergs, often turquoise and beautifully sculpted. Glaciers are prolific and the coast is lined with fjords. Whilst Greenland is not abundant with wildlife, it is home to musk oxen, reindeer, various whales, seals and sea eagles which are regularly seen on journeys.
Plus, Greenland is often graced by the beauty of the incredible Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), It offers one one of the best vantage points to see the spectacular display of colours flashing across the Arctic sky.
Greenland has a fascinating history, archaeological remains of communities dating back around 4,500 years having been found. Discover Greenland’s rich Inuit culture, with settlements that still thrive on ancient traditions, a culture still tied to the ocean and a lifestyle adapted to living on the edge of the Arctic.
