Greenland cruise: how to choose the right one

A Greenland cruise feels like a gradual passage into the Arctic: a fjord rimmed by mountains, a village of colorful houses, an iceberg drifting slowly across Disko Bay, then a Zodiac outing at the foot of a glacier.

The destination blends polar scenery, Inuit culture, expedition cruising, Arctic wildlife, Norse sites, and—depending on the season—the midnight sun or Northern Lights. Your itinerary may focus on the southwest, Disko Bay, the wild east coast, or longer voyages combining Iceland, Svalbard, and Canada.

Tips for choosing your Greenland cruise

1. Choose your region

  • South and west Greenland : Qaqortoq, Nanortalik, Nuuk, Kangerlussuaq, and Prince Christian Sound offer villages, fjords, Norse ruins, glaciers, and the first of many sweeping Arctic views.
  • Disko Bay & Ilulissat : the most iconic region for giant icebergs, the UNESCO-listed icefjord, whales, boat outings, and spectacular frozen landscapes.
  • East coast and Scoresby Sound : best for a wilder expedition, with immense fjords, basalt mountains, sea ice, Ittoqqortoormiit, and a genuine sense of isolation.
  • Far north and combined itineraries : the Thule region, Svalbard, Iceland, Arctic Canada, or less common passages for travelers drawn to remote areas, polar wildlife, and long days at sea.

2. Choose your cruise style

  • Polar expeditions and exploration : HX-Expeditions, Quark Expeditions, Aurora Expeditions, Hurtigruten, Swan Hellenic, and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises suit travelers seeking Zodiac outings, naturalist lectures, kayaking, guided hikes, and real insight into Arctic environments.
  • Luxury expeditions and premium service : Ponant, Silversea, Seabourn Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises combine exploration with luxury, refined dining, attentive service, and intimate ships better suited to rarely visited ports.
  • Grand northern itineraries : MSC Cruises, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, and Celebrity Cruises may offer broader itineraries to Iceland, Greenland, Canada, Norway, or Northern Europe, with more traditional onboard comforts.
  • Note : In Greenland, weather, ice, wind, and local permits strongly influence the schedule. Choose a cruise as much for its expedition team as for its list of ports.

1. Top experiences of a Greenland cruise

In Greenland, a cruise becomes a grand Arctic journey: deep fjords, colorful villages, drifting icebergs, glacier fronts, and quiet passages create an experience far removed from a conventional cruise. These are the highlights that truly define the destination.
Cruise through Prince Christian Sound

Cruise through Prince Christian Sound

This passage through southern Greenland offers some of the country's most beautiful cruising scenery. The ship moves between rock walls, glaciers, waterfalls, and calm waters in a striking edge-of-the-world atmosphere.
See the icebergs of Ilulissat Icefjord

See the icebergs of Ilulissat Icefjord

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ilulissat Icefjord is one of Greenland's defining landmarks. Travelers remember the size of its icebergs, the distant cracking of Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier, and light that constantly transforms the landscape.
Explore Disko Bay by boat

Explore Disko Bay by boat

Around Ilulissat and Qeqertarsuaq, Disko Bay offers a powerful vision of the Greenlandic Arctic. Icebergs, reflections, villages, and sometimes whales in season create a slow, almost contemplative passage.
Approach Eqi Glacier

The active glacier front draws travelers. From the boat, you may see blue-tinged crevasses, hear cracks, and witness calving, offering a direct sense of the glacier's power.
Discover Nuuk, Arctic capital

Stroll through Qaqortoq

This isolated village in eastern Greenland offers a rare look at Arctic life. Colorful houses, sled dogs, a close relationship with the sea, and nearby great fjords make the visit especially memorable.
Take a Zodiac among the icebergs

Take a Zodiac among the icebergs

Zodiacs bring a new sense of scale to the ice. From the water, the contours, shades of blue, sculpted surfaces, and silence around drifting icebergs become more vivid.
Watch for whales and Arctic wildlife

Watch for whales and Arctic wildlife

Depending on the itinerary, travelers may see whales, seals, seabirds, or musk oxen during shore excursions. These quiet encounters depend entirely on nature, which is part of their value.
Combine Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard or Arctic Canada

Combine Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard or Arctic Canada

Some voyages continue from Greenland to other polar regions. These itineraries offer a broader view of the Arctic, from Icelandic volcanoes and Greenlandic fjords to sea ice, isolated villages, and long days at sea.

3. Best times to go on a cruise to Greenland

March - May

Weather & conditions

Colder, rarer, and more focused on the Arctic winter. Some experiences emphasize ice, auroras, snowy landscapes, or land activities, but cruise options are more limited.

Expert advice

Best considered for highly specialized programs. June through September remains the standard season for a classic expedition cruise.

June - July

Weather & conditions

Abundant ice and long days. The landscape retains a strongly Arctic appearance, the midnight sun illuminates some regions, and itineraries often focus on accessible areas.

Expert advice

A good time for travelers drawn to the light, still-white landscapes, and the atmosphere of the early expedition season.

August

Weather & conditions

The most favorable period for cruising. Conditions are often more flexible, fjords more accessible, villages easier to visit, and—weather permitting—Zodiac or kayak outings more frequent.

Expert advice

The best window for a first Greenland cruise, especially for Ilulissat, Disko Bay, Nuuk, or the southwest.

September

Weather & conditions

Lower-angle light and a chance of auroras. Temperatures fall, nights gradually return, and the landscapes take on greater contrast.

Expert advice

Especially appealing for travelers seeking a more polar atmosphere, deeper colors, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.

What our customers loved

Must-see experiences on a Greenland cruise

Cruise among the icebergs of Disko Bay

Disko Bay is often one of the highlights of a Greenland cruise. Travelers love watching icebergs change color with the light, hearing the ice shift, and sensing the landscape's scale from the deck, a Zodiac, or a small local boat.

Cross Prince Christian Sound between mountains and glaciers

Travelers remember the cinematic quality of this passage. The ship moves between steep walls, waterfalls, glacier tongues, and isolated villages, creating the feeling of a slow journey through an immense natural corridor.

Experience Greenlandic culture in Nuuk, Qaqortoq, or Ittoqqortoormiit

Villages and small towns add human depth to the journey. Travelers value the colorful houses, museums, harbors, guided encounters, and opportunity to understand Greenland as more than a world of ice.

Hidden gems off the beaten path

Wait for Eqi Glacier to calve from the boat

Eqi Glacier rewards patient observation. Travelers often stand silently before the glacier front, listening for cracks and rumbles and watching for blocks of ice to break into the sea.

Walk to the Hvalsey ruins from Qaqortoq

In southern Greenland, Hvalsey adds another dimension to the stop. Travelers find ancient Norse traces in an open landscape, a reminder that Greenland is not only a destination of ice but also a land of history.

Take a Zodiac among the icebergs of Scoresby Sound

On the east coast, Scoresby Sound impresses with its scale. Travelers enjoy Zodiac outings because they offer a new perspective on the mountains, icebergs, and shorelines, with a much stronger sense of isolation than in more accessible regions.
