Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with our immersive Greenland cruise packages departing from Reykjavik, Iceland. These exceptional multi-day journeys combine Arctic exploration, glacial landscapes, remote Inuit villages, and awe-inspiring wildlife into one unforgettable voyage. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or a curious traveler, cruising to Greenland offers a truly unique way to discover one of the last great wildernesses on Earth.

Why Choose a Greenland Cruise from Reykjavík ?

Reykjavík , Iceland’s vibrant capital, serves as a perfect departure hub for greenland cruises due to its proximity and convenient flight and sea connections. Cruising from Reykjavík allows travelers to enjoy pre- or post-cruise Icelandic adventures, such as the Golden Circle or The Blue Lagoon , before embarking on an Arctic journey across the Denmark Strait.

greenland cruises offer an intimate way to explore the vast, remote wilderness that covers 80% of the world’s largest island with ice. Unlike traditional land tours, cruises allow access to hidden fjords, icy bays, and coastal communities unreachable by road or plane. Onboard, travelers enjoy comfortable accommodations, expert lectures, and guided shore landings via Zodiac boats. ..

Highlights of a Greenland Cruise

  • Glacial Landscapes: Witness towering icebergs, vast glaciers like Eqi Glacier, and the dramatic Ilulissat Icefjord (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
  • Arctic Wildlife: Spot whales, seals, Arctic foxes, and seabirds. Lucky travelers may even glimpse polar bears along the eastern coast.
  • Inuit Culture: Visit traditional villages like Qeqertarsuaq or Narsaq and engage with local communities preserving centuries-old traditions.
  • Adventure Excursions: Participate in guided hikes, kayaking, Zodiac boat trips, and photography tours of surreal Arctic landscapes.
  • Northern Lights: Cruises in late summer and early autumn offer excellent chances to see the Aurora Borealis dance over icy fjords.

Itinerary Overview

Greenland cruise packages vary by duration and region. Common itineraries include:

1. West Greenland Cruises

Departing from Reykjavik or Kangerlussuaq (via charter flight), these cruises explore Disko Bay and the Ilulissat Icefjord. Highlights include whale watching, visiting local communities, and navigating iceberg-filled fjords.

2. East Greenland Cruises

A more remote and rugged option, East Greenland cruises feature Scoresby Sund—the world’s largest fjord system—and the isolated village of Ittoqqortoormiit. Dramatic basalt mountains, massive glaciers, and Arctic wildlife are the key highlights.

3. South Greenland Expeditions

Explore the lush green valleys and Viking history of South Greenland. Cruise past dramatic fjords, visit ruins of Erik the Red’s Norse settlements, and enjoy hikes through blooming tundra in summer.
