Time stands still onboard Sarfaq Ittuk, which transports passengers and goods from South Greenland to Disko Bay – and back again. Disembark at the popular locations and towns and see the Ice Sheet at Kangerlussuaq, the capital Nuuk, and Ilulissat with the protected and world-famous Icefjord. Take time to go sightseeing on your own or join a guided tour. Your sailing trip can also be combined with accommodation at a luxury hotel in Ilulissat and Sisimiut.
The sea has always been an important part of Greenland’s infrastructure. Today there are sailing trips along the coast that take you to the blue-white glacial tongues, black-green rocks, majestic icebergs, cosy settlements and magnificent fells.
Being the world’s largest island is no small matter, and the ‘highway’ surrounds the entire country. There are no tarmac roads between the towns; all traffic is by boat, ferry or plane.
International cruise ships have Greenland in their sights – and in their travel itineraries. An increasing number are calling at Greenland. Exclusive cruises take place on M/S Fram, which crosses the sea between Iceland and Greenland, starting and finishing in Greenland of course.

Many visitors go to Ilulissat and here you shouldn't miss The Eqi glacier – Eqi Sermia – that runs out into the icy waters 70 km north of Ilulissat. It’s possible to get out to the edge by boat and experience the glacier calving huge pieces of ice. You quickly realise how small and humble you really are and end up completely spellbound as the ice creaks and crashes as an accompaniment to this wide-screen scene just a short distance away. Stay overnight at Glacier Lodge Eqi, which lies 400 metres up in the fell and offers fantastic views.
If you don’t have that many days available, we recommend a helicopter flight to Eqi Sermia. Whatever else you do, make sure you experience the glacier!
If you are staying in a city for a few days, you should treat yourself to a sailing trip of shorter or longer duration. A trip between the icebergs at Ilulissat, out to the small village of Rodebay, Oqaatsut, where you can enjoy a fantastic meal in restaurant H8.

Nuuk
Experience Greenlands capital Nuuk. A big city that can't be compared to any other. Here is a vibrant city life that is surrounded by the most beautiful nature.
Ilulissat
Standing by the fjord and watching the icebergs sail majestically past lifts life up in the first division. Ilulissat's Icefjord is with good reason included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Ilulissat, also called Jakobshavn, is Greenland's third-largest city, and in this paradise of icebergs, breathtaking experiences await you that you will soon forget.
Qaqortoq
The main town in South Greenland, the home to young students and tagged “one of Greenland’s most charming and attractive towns”.
Nanortalik
Do you love thrills? Nanortalik is a Mecca for mountain climbers, kayakers and hikers who’re willing to take it to the edge. And perhaps there’s a chance to meet polar bears in the wild.
Narsarsuaq
At a distance of just nine kilometres from the airport you’ll find the Ice Sheet. Go on a trip to the thunderous mass of ice or experience life as a Norse settler at Erik the Red’s longhouse.
Ittoqqortoormiit
A combination of town and wilderness, with a fjord complex that attracts narwhals, walruses, seals and polar bears. Millions of seabirds breed here in this undisturbed region close to the country’s enormous national park.
Kulusuk
The gateway to East Greenland is Kulusuk, a small settlement in the vicinity of Ammassalik. The population on the small rocky island is made up of hospitable hunters and fishermen that are used to receiving tourists.
Kangersuatsiaq
Kangersuatsiaq has an attractive location and is known for its beautiful, well-maintained houses. Hunting and fishing are the primary occupations in this settlement.
Kullorsuaq
Founded in 1928, Kullorsuaq was named after a nearby mountain that resembles a giant thumb. Hunting and fishing are the primary occupations in this settlement.
Aappilattoq (Upernavik)
Aappilattoq can be translated as "the red mountain" and is a settlement connected to Upernavik in the northwestern region of Greenland. Due to the milder weather, this means that the water at Aappilattoq is free of ice almost all year round, even in the winter months.
Kuummiut
Kuummiut is located on Greenland's east coast and is one of the most attractively located settlements in the country.
Narsaq
At the foot of the mountain Qaqqarsuaq lies Narsaq, a new town on a green plain, which is a good starting point for a tour of South Greenland.
Ikerasak
Ikerasak is a settlement on an island located south of Uummannaq. Its location offers plenty of fishing and hunting of seal, halibut, catfish, reindeer and musk ox all year round.
Isortoq
Isortoq is situated just five kilometres from where the Ice Cap has its steep, harsh and dramatic beginnings.
Aasiaat
Can we tempt you with an archipelago holiday in the "Land of a Thousand Islands"? Then Aasiaat is a good starting point with its position in the southern part of Disko Bay.
Niaqornat
Niaqornat is located on the north coast of the extensive Nuussuaq peninsula, which separates Disko Bay from Uummannaq Fjord. The population depends on hunting and fishing, and there are numerous different species of animals in the area.
Nuussuaq (Upernavik)
Nuussuaq was founded in 1923, originally under the name of Kraulshavn, named in honour of the former colonial administrator in Upernavik, H.P. Kraul.
Paamiut
South of Nuuk lies the town of Paamiut, which during the summer can boast an attraction that only a few other towns in Greenland can: a sandy beach with a view of the Ice Sheet.
Pituffik (Thule)
Pituffik Space Base is an American military base, which means that special rules apply in relation to staying at the base and when in transit.
Qaanaaq
Qaanaaq is Greenland’s northernmost town and is unlike any other Greenlandic town. It slopes gently down to the sea and features roads that are straight as an arrow with small houses lined up in rows.
Qaarsut
Go on a visit to an authentic settlement or use Qaarsut as the starting point for adventures in Uummannaq or trips further north. If you’re interested in history and Inuit culture then visit the settlement at Qilakitsoq.

Sermiligaaq
The settlement of Sermiligaaq has an attractive location on a peninsula on Greenland's east coast around 100 kilometres north of Tasiilaq.
Siorapaluk
Siorapaluk is the most northerly 'proper' settlement in Greenland – and in the whole world, according to many. Only bases and military facilities have living quarters that are situated further north.
Tasiilaq
Tasiilaq is situated on the slope of a fell on the banks of Kong Oscar Fjord surrounded by steep, snow-covered peaks. The town is well worth a visit for this reason alone.
Tasiusaq (Upernavik)
The northernmost of the two settlements, which is called Tasiusaq, is found 71 kilometres north of Upernavik in the Municipality of Qaasuitsup. Here there's a Pilersuisoq grocery store and even a kiosk, fish factory and a church.
Tiniteqilaaq
Tiniteqilaaq is one of the five settlements in the area around the island of Ammassalik. The settlement is located on the other side of the Ikasativaq Fjord, north of Ammassalik Island and facing onto Sermilik, which is one of the great ice fjords in East Greenland.
Upernavik
72 degrees north, narwhals, beluga whales, polar bears, the world’s largest bird cliff and summer sun 24 hours a day. We guarantee you a different type of holiday!
Upernavik Kujalleq
Upernavik Kujalleq, which was earlier known in Danish as 'Søndre Upernavik', is the southernmost settlement in the archipelago around Upernavik.
Uummannaq
Some people think that Uummannaq is Greenland’s most beautiful location. This of course depends on the eye of the beholder. We bid you welcome to the town at the foot of the heart-shaped mountain.
Welcome to the experiences of the other world. Where else can you find snow, ice, mountains, sea and whales close to green plains with potato fields? Go exploring for new exciting experiences right here.
