It is Spring! Did you turn your clocks forward?
With Spring in the air, it is also the time we start thinking Summer Vacation plans. What are you planning to do?
I will be going to Greenland this August with my husband. I chose a ship that makes four ports of call in Greenland. Many itineraries stop in one perhaps two ports, but this itinerary is for four ports plus Canada! The other reason I chose this sailing is because I can fly roundtrip to New York to catch the ship. This is so much better than having to fly to Iceland or Europe and only a single port in Greenland. Here is the itinerary – come join me! I know it will be wonderful.
Here is additional information about Greenland:
Greenland is a breathtaking destination with stunning natural landscapes, unique Arctic wildlife, and a fascinating Inuit culture. Here are some top things to see and do in Greenland:
Natural Wonders
- Ilulissat Icefjord (UNESCO Site) – One of the most famous sights, featuring massive icebergs calving from Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier.
- Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) – Best seen from September to April in places like Kangerlussuaq or Nuuk.
- Midnight Sun – During summer (May to July), the sun never sets in parts of Greenland.
- Eqi Glacier – A spectacular active glacier where you can witness ice breaking off.
- Disko Island – Known for its dramatic basalt mountains and hot springs.
- Kangerlussuaq Ice Cap – A gateway to the vast Greenland Ice Sheet, where you can walk on the ancient ice.
Wildlife & Outdoor Adventures
- Whale Watching – Spot humpback, minke, and fin whales near Ilulissat and Nuuk.
- Dog Sledding – A traditional way to explore snowy landscapes, especially in winter.
- Hiking & Trekking – Popular trails include the Arctic Circle Trail and hikes near Tasiilaq.
