Apply the smart layering system to stay comfortable in quickly changing Arctic conditions. Start with thermal base layers (merino wool or synthetics), add insulating mid-layers like fleece or down, and finish with water- and windproof outerwear. We provide you with rubber boots for the duration of the cruise and a branded Poseidon Expeditions parka, which is yours to keep.

Most travelers from the USA reach Greenland via connecting flights through Reykjavik or Copenhagen. Major U.S. cities offer regular flights to Iceland and Denmark, from where you can continue onward to Greenland destinations like Nuuk or Ilulissat.

For many travelers, an expedition cruise to Greenland is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, offering access to one of the most remote regions on Earth that is otherwise extremely difficult to reach. 

Aboard a small cruise ship and led by a professional expedition team, you’ll journey amid colossal icebergs, explore breathtaking fjords, and encounter iconic Arctic wildlife such as whales, seabirds, and sometimes even polar bears. If you travel in late summer to early fall, you may also have the chance to see the northern lights, which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience in and of itself.

June offers peak wildlife activity and continuous daylight under the midnight sun. The landscape may still be dotted with ice, but weather conditions gradually become milder into July. By July, more fjords and waterways typically open up as ice conditions improve, which can increase the number of accessible landing sites and give the expedition team more flexibility when planning shore landings and Zodiac excursions. 

August brings softer light that is especially beautiful for photography, along with stronger chances of whale sightings as marine wildlife becomes more active in Greenland’s coastal waters. Northern lights are not visible in June and July, as the constant daylight makes sightings impossible.
