Greenland

Discover Greeland's unspoiled polar wilderness and unique Arctic wildlife

Greenland is without a doubt the most diverse Arctic destination. From the polar extremes in the far north, to green pastures and farms in the south, the scale of Greenland is hard to fathom.

 

Greenland is divided into several regions, each offering unique landscapes and distinct experiences:

  • Northeast Greenland – The largest National Park in the world, with unspoiled polar wilderness and unique Arctic wildlife.
  • East Greenland & Scoresybysund – A land dominated by the Ice Cap with a culture deeply rooted in myths and legends.
  • South Greenland – The “garden of Greenland” with many settlements, steeped in Norse history.
  • West Greenland & Disko Bay – A combination of grand ice fjords, incredible whale watching and small towns dotted along the coast.
  • North Greenland –  A coastline stretching for  thousands  of miles, ruled by the polar night in winter and the summer’s midnight sun.

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a first-time adventurer, an expedition cruise to Greenland promises breathtaking landscapes, thrilling encounters with nature, and unforgettable memories.

Weather Greenland

Due to the vast size of Greenland, different climate conditions are experienced depending on where you are.

  • In West Greenland, near Nuuk, the temperatures are slightly warmer with summer month temperatures ranging from 7-10 degrees C/44-50 degrees F.
  • In East Greenland, near Ittoqqortoormiit, the temperatures are a bit more chilly, with summer temperatures ranging from 3-6 degrees C/37-45 degrees F.

But don’t worry! We will send you packing information prior to departure.

Wildlife Greenland

Besides the spectacular scenery and icebergs, Greenland is home to a diverse array of polar wildlife. You can find six species of seals, including the iconic walrus.  The seas surrounding Greenland host 16 species of whales, from narwhals and belugas to enormous blue whales and humpbacks. Most whales visit during the ice-free summer, except for bowhead whales, narwhals, and belugas which stay through winter. During shore landings, be ready to spot reindeer, musk oxen, and, if you’re extremely lucky, polar bears!
