Creator's Key Takeaways

It is really important to keep in mind that the east of Greenland is more wild than the west coast of Greenland.

If your dream is to really want to see them close or even just to see them in their natural environment completely icy and trying to catch some seal, the Amaselic springtime with the common shaku is definitely the voyage that you have to to take from the end of April to the end of May.

I will recommend the voyages on the east coast of Gland for the people who have a good physical condition.

In Antarctica the fa is not entered since decades. So they are not afraid about us. It's a very different experience in the Arctic.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Visit East Greenland in spring (end of April to end of May) for optimal wildlife and cultural experiences
✓Book during spring to see Inuit communities in traditional dress when no other ships visit
✓Expect to see polar bears with mother and calves during springtime voyages

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Arctic wildlife is not accustomed to humans — Understand that Arctic animals are more wary of humans compared to Antarctica, which affects viewing opportunities
Physical demands of activities — Only recommended for those in good physical condition who can handle activities like dog sledding and ice hiking
