Visit
Greenland

Until recently, the awe-inspiring beauty, rich culture and serene wilderness of Greenland have remained something of an enigma. Although more and more travellers are finding themselves drawn to this polar paradise, Greenland has retained its sense of seclusion and understated majesty, enriching every voyage with a unique blend of modernity and tradition and a layered heritage, of which the locals are fiercely proud.

The only word which adequately sums up the feeling of gazing at the region’s vast tundra, mountainous skyline, towering glaciers and glowing Aurora Borealis is ‘humbling’. Indeed, the entire experience of travelling to Greenland is tailor-made for those looking to open their mind to a new way of thinking, with reminders of the beauty and fragility of our world every way you turn. Greenland’s national park holds the title of world’s largest, and the polar bears, reindeer and Arctic foxes roaming freely are a sight to behold.

From the isolated oasis of Kalaallit Nunaat to the jaw-dropping strait of Vaigat Sound, Greenland is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.

Greenland is a vast country, so although its climate is decidedly ‘arctic’, it does vary month by month. The mildest temperatures can be found in the summer season (June to August) when temperatures range from 3-11°C, and the optimal hiking and kayaking conditions as well as the endless daylight of the Midnight Sun make this a popular time to visit. Guests hoping to tick the Northern Lights off their bucket list may prefer a winter getaway (September to March) whilst springtime (March to May) is Greenland’s whale-watching season.

Our intrepid adventurers’ Greenland must-do.

Cruise Connoisseur Helen Fensom stopped by Greenland as part of her Arctic expedition cruise and was utterly charmed by the influences of the country’s Inuit heritage on everything from hospitality to cuisine. Museum tours, archaeological site visits and local crafting demonstrations are all amazing ways to immerse yourself in the culture and if you get the opportunity to try a Tundra to Table dining experience—take it! The beer-braised muskox and pickled halibut are made from fresh, regional ingredients and you simply mustn’t miss out.
