Cruising along the west coast
on board the Greenland Coastal Steamer in style.
Accommodated in modern outside cabin with private
facilities. It is a fine way to comprehend the huge
size of the world's biggest island and a fine way to
meet the locals using the ship as their local bus.
In South Greenland as well as in the Disko Bay you
will have time to learn about life in the Arctic and
to experience the Arctic nature and the remains from
the Vikings and the early Eskimos. Welcome on board.
HIGHLIGHTS
Ilulissat
Town of the giant icebergs and home of the UNESCO
designated Ilulissat Ice Fiord. This is the third
biggest town in Greenland and a real big city where
modern life meets old fashion life style, all
surrounded by amazing nature. Here, ice is the main
theme; get close to the icy giants covered in the
rays of the midnight sun on the amazing Ice Fiord
cruise, join the full day boat excursion to the
calving glacier; Eqip Sermia or discover the full
length of the ice filled Kangia Ice Fiord on a
helicopter trip flying in low altitude over the
Fiord. You can also visit some of the remote
settlements where fishing and hunting still provide
the living.
The Sea Voyage
Meet the local population traveling from town to
town to visit relatives and friends along the coast.
Enjoy the beautiful and varied landscape as we leave
the rough high Arctic nature and reach the green and
fertile South Greenland. We sail in open waters and
in narrow straits, so close that you can almost
touch the mountains. Along the way the ship calls in
the major towns and in a few settlements.
Everywhere, the arrival of the ship makes people
rush to the harbour to welcome friends and
relatives. Life on board is relaxing, enjoy the view
and make sure to keep your eyes open, as humpback
whales are often seen.
When calling in the cities of Sisimiut, Nuuk and
Qaqortoq the ship guide will take you on short
informative city walks. Most days the guide will
also give a lecture on a topic related to Greenland.
The Greenland capital, Nuuk
Along the way we visit Greenland’s capital; Nuuk.
During a guided city tour the guide will give you an
impression of one of the world’s smallest capitals.
We pass by the parliament, the old colonial harbour
with the oldest house in Greenland and the modern
suburbs.
Narsarsuaq
Historic sites from the Viking age are spread all
over South Greenland, amongst them the place where
Eric the Red settled down. We visit the
reconstruction of his farm and the first Christian
church built on the American continent. Also,
calving glaciers and the Inland Ice Cap are within
short range of you hotel.
