OVERVIEW

Marvel at Greenland’s pristine natural beauty while cruising the Nuuk Fjord and stop at a particularly scenic spot. As you cruise into the majestic fjord, which is part of the world’s second-largest fjord system, the sights will be breathtaking. You can expect to pass thundering waterfalls, and sheer-faced mountains that plunge into the sea. The large solitary mountain looming just north of Nuuk is Sermitsiaq, which covers most of the island of the same name. The fjord stretches inland for nearly a hundred miles, and wildlife is abundant. On a lucky day be in the lookout for white-tailed eagles, seals, and humpback whales. In time, you will disembark or at some point or your boat will anchor at a picturesque spot for a traditional snack and Greenlandic music artist performance.
