Creator's Key Takeaways

We had never visited Greenland before, and we were really looking forward to experiencing a new country, culture, and people!

The town really impressed us, the people were so friendly and welcoming.

It truly was an incredible experience.

We were just waiting for our room service to arrive and I just open the balcony looked over that heard her as the whales make and then there it was right in front of us playing in the water.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Head to the tourist information center first for maps and excursion information.
โœ“Check the Aurora app for northern lights visibility and take responsibility for monitoring it yourself.
โœ“Be prepared for variable weather; dress in layers as it can be warm even in Greenland.

On day 11 we finally made our way to Qaqortoq on our Island Princess Iceland and Greenland cruise. We had never visited Greenland before, and we were really looking forward to experiencing a new country, culture, and people! The morning started off very foggy and we were lucky that tenders were still running. We had a quick breakfast and then headed down to explore Qaqortoq, Greenland. The town really impressed us, the people were so friendly and welcoming. It truly was an incredible experience, and we explored many areas of the town independently. The weather turned out to be incredible and we couldnโ€™t believe what happened as a result. Back on Island Princess we got to witness an emergency in port, we had a front row seat to icebergs during dinner. In the evening, we left the Princess Theater a little confused and ended on our evening on deck 15 as we could see the Northern Lights. The whole day had to have been one of the most epic ports and experiences of our lives to date.
