Port of Call Port of Call (Arrival, Departure)

New York City

New York City (officially the City of New York) is the largest city in the United States and one of the world's major global cities. Located in the state of New York, the city has a population of over 8.1 million within an area of 321 square miles (approximately 830 square km), making it the most densely populated major city in North America. Its metropolitan area has a population of 18.7 million and is one of the largest urban areas in the world. New York City is an international center for business, finance, fashion, medicine, entertainment, media, and culture, with an extraordinary collection of museums, galleries, performance venues, media outlets, international corporations, and financial markets. The city is also home to the headquarters of the United Nations, and to many of the world's most famous skyscrapers. Popularly known as the "Big Apple", the "City That Never Sleeps", or the "Capital of the World", the city attracts large numbers of immigrants, as well as people from all over the United States who come for its culture, diversity, fast-paced lifestyle, cosmopolitanism, and economic opportunity. The city is also currently distinguished for having the lowest crime rate among major American cities.

Halifax, an Atlantic Ocean port in eastern Canada, is the provincial capital of Nova Scotia. A major business centre, it’s also known for its maritime history. The city’s dominated by the hilltop Citadel, a star-shaped fort completed in the 1850s. Waterfront warehouses known as the Historic Properties recall Halifax’s days as a trading hub for privateers, notably during the War of 1812.

Sydney/Nova Scotia

Sydney is a harbour town on Cape Breton Island, in Nova Scotia, Canada. By the water, the Big Fiddle is a huge violin statue honouring local music. Wooden 18th-century buildings include the Cossit and Jost houses, now museums with period furniture. St. Patrick’s Church Museum showcases local history in an 1828 church. East, at Glace Bay, the Cape Breton Miners’ Museum explores the area’s coal-mining heritage.

St. John's/Newfoundland

St. John's, a city on Newfoundland island off Canada's Atlantic coast, is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador province. Its harbour was settled by the British in the 1600s. Downtown is known for its colourful row houses. Above the city is Signal Hill with walking trails and the site of the first transatlantic wireless communication, Cabot Tower, which commemorates John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland.

Nanortalik is close to the southwestern tip of Greenland at the mouth of several fjords, south of Qaqortoq. Sites of interest include the colonial quarter of the town amid the surrounding fjord and mountains. Tourists can witness the imposing granite peaks and spires of the Nunaap Isua (Cape Farewell) and Tasermiut Fjord regions, where the scenery is spectacular.

Qaqortoq, sitting at the tip of the peninsula in the south of Greenland, is a clean pleasant harbor town built on the site of Hans Egede's search for the lost colonists. Although only boasting 3500 people, it's considered to be the hub of the south and is worth visiting in summer when the place explodes with wildflowers. The town's pride of possession is the town square fountain - the only one in Greenland - with the names of the town burghers, past and present, in brass letters on the base (although many names have fallen victim to souvenir hunters). Qaqortoq museum is worth a gander - it's one of Greenland's finest - and exhibits artifacts from past and present cultures. Mostly, though, Qaqortoq is used as a base for hiking treks: either one day hikes up 'Peter's Cairn’ or around the edge of the Tasersuaq Lake, or as a departure point for the three- to four-day treks to the neighboring town of Igaliku. The Hvalsey ruins, sitting on a coastal strip just out of Qaqortoq, are the most extensive and best preserved Norse ruins in Greenland. There is a choice of ferry services on most days of the week, and several daily flights to other settlements along the west coast. It's also possible to trek from some of the neighboring towns. Qaqortoq is 450km (279mi) down the coast from Nuuk, although the distance by foot would be much greater given the heavily fringed coastline.

The town of Paamiut is located at the mouth of the Kuannersooq Fjord and the town's name also means 'inhabitants at the mouth'. The town was built in 1742, and the very characteristic wooden church dates from 1909. The interesting local museum located at the town center is fitted up in 19th -century buildings that include a former carpentry workshop and a salt house. To all appearances, the area has been inhabited since around 1,500 BC. Like the other towns of West Greenland, the sea does not freeze over during winter and the primary occupation for the 2,100 inhabitants in Paamiut and its only settlement of Arsuk is fishing. In spring and summer however, the fishing and other maritime traffic can be obstructed by field ice floating along the east coast of Greenland and continuing up the west coast - but even so the field ice is a fascinating sight. The sea's great importance to the town is also emphasized by the fact that Greenland's maritime-trade training programs are housed here. Perhaps Paamiut ought to have been called 'the land of the white-tailed eagle', because the area has the largest population of white-tailed eagles in Greenland. If visitors choose to sail out on the open sea instead, they are almost certain to see whales in late summer and autumn. The whales will usually be rorquals, fin whales, killer whales or humpbacks.

Nuuk was founded by the unfailingly optimistic Hans Egede - the Danish missionary with soul-conversions on his agenda - who promptly named the settlement Good Hope. The naming turned out to be more of a Hail Mary than a prophesy: first the native Inuit moved out of a neighborhood that, to their way of thinking, had become too congested, and later smallpox and tuberculosis epidemics ripped through the small settlement. Even today Nuuk is small by modern standards, with a total population of only 14,000. Despite a wealth of land and a paucity of people, Nuuk has insisted on housing the population in immense apartment blocks with imaginative names like Blok P - a kind of Gulag on ice - and the urban sprawl is now spreading out along the road to the airport. Kolonihavnen is a pleasant exception to the rest of Nuuk's Lego-city look: it's a picturesque 18th-century fishing village in the heart of Nuuk and gives some idea of what the town looked like before the industrial harbor was built. Nuuk's real attraction lies in its proximity to any number of excellent day hikes into the hinterland and the fabulous views from the tops of the nearby mountains. Organized tours, boat trips and the rental of equipment is also easier from the capital.

Canada - Greenland cruise

By zahav1 , December 4, 2020 in Princess Cruises

Recommended Posts

Has anyone been on a Canadian/Greenland cruise with Princess?  What are your thoughts?  We’re avid photographers and not interested in big shopping or beaches.  Thanks.

We will be on the cruise in 2022 after having our 2020 cruise canceled. Following

Our Canada/Greenland cruise was cancelled for this year to we're booked for 2022.  Can't wait!  

We did a similar cruise a few years ago. The scenery in Greenland is spectacular.

Shopping is minimal. What little there is comes with an impressive price tag.

No beaches.

We have done this cruise and loved it. The scenery is unique, no beaches. I am not a shopper, but I did appreciate the locally made clothing and art.

hooked_on_cruising

I did this cruise Aug 2019.  The scenery is beautiful and you if you love to photograph nature you will really enjoy.  Take an excursion that will take you out to the ice caps/sheets.  Along the way you will see lots of iceberg.  I was able to get an excursion in Qaqortoo from an independent operator and walked on the ice cap.  

The Greenland ports are mostly fishing villages and in most cases the ship passengers will out number the residents.

We booked this one, it's so far away, so who knows if we'll still be interested in this by next year.   But I did notice that lots of cabins were already booked.

I have not personally cruised on this itinerary but I perused through the roll call of the 2019 cruise (found  here ) and learned a lot about how people planned their time and what opportunities they found. I also recall reading some people's comprehensive overviews of their cruise after they came back, though unfortunately, I can't seem to find them anymore. But in terms of a bit of a drawback, what stuck out to me from what some said was the tendering issues in Greenland. Some cruisers above mentioned that the villages themselves are small and really not used to handling or seeing a vessel like the Caribbean Princess, so it's by no fault of the villages, but just know that this is a potential bottleneck when it comes to exploring those ports. However, I'm hoping more cruisers can come in and also share their experiences with you as I'm just sharing hearsay.

However, I'm hoping more cruisers can come in and also share their experiences with you as I'm just sharing hearsay.

We did the Voyage of the Vikings a few years back which stopped at several ports in Greenland.  The Maasdam held 1200 passengers and it was a zoo when we were in port.  The Caribbean Princess has 3100 passengers.  I imagine that it will be an extremely bad experience when she comes to some of the very small towns in Greenland.  The population of Qaqortog  which was one of our stops is ~3000 people.  What will it be like if 3000 passengers hit the town.  Not for me.

We did this itinerary on the CB in 2019 and absolutely loved Greenland.  With that said, though, they need to do this one with a smaller ship.  The Pacific would be ideal, but even the Coral would be great.  Leaving out of New York is incredibly convenient, but the Caribbean is just too big a ship for the ports to handle.  For future cruisers' sake, I am hoping that since I was on the first of these cruises, Princess has learned from their mistakes for future voyages.  We certainly told them about them in our post-cruise survey.

DH and I are early risers so we got on the first tenders out for the Greenland ports and had no problems getting to port.  However, the vast majority of the ship waited until a little later in the morning and by that time the tender wait was hours-long. I feel bad for passengers who waited hours to get to shore, then had only a very short time before they had to join the line to get on a tender back.  And the lines back were extremely long.   

The other main issue is that the Caribbean has way too many passengers for the indoor public places to handle.  The weather was foggy, rainy and very cool on the sea days, and every indoor area of the ship was jam-packed.  Every activity, from crafting to lectures to shows in the theater, was impossible to get into unless you lined up at least 45 minutes or more early, and even then it was not at all certain you would get in.  The cruise director was young and seemed inexperienced, and was clueless on trying to come up with any ways to alleviate the issues.  He just shrugged, blamed the number of passengers, and said there was nothing he could do.  Towards the end of the cruise he did add an afternoon show a couple of times.  Also, there were zero lectures on Greenland, it's history, wildlife, or geography.  Zilch.  Nothing.

After realizing the issues we were facing, we readjusted our approach and made sure to be up at the crack of dawn for  the Greenland ports, resigned ourselves to standing in line well over an hour to get back to the ship, and either didn't bother with activities or took a book to kill the wait-time before the shows, etc.  We were also fortunate in that I was able to find fantastic independent excursions in each of the Greenland ports, and we were blown away by our trips to the ice cap and through the icebergs.  They were amazing and I loved our interaction with Greenlanders as much as seeing their stunning country.   Excursions are few and far between, and not much was offered by the ship, so if you are interested start looking early.

So, even though the cruise itself had lots of problems, I would absolutely do it again.  Greenland is hard to get to and leaving from NYC makes it doable.   Just go into it with your eyes open.  If you are elite, that will help with the tendering issue but even so, get to the tenders early.  And bring things to occupy yourself onboard, because unless Princess has changed things, you will not get into most of the ship's activities.  And do you own research on Greenland if you want to know about it, because Princess may not offer anything.  

We have been to some of the ports on the cruise that you are thinking about taking. The advice from Pompeii is excellent and i absolutely agree that being on a large ship like Caribbean Princess will make it more difficult when visiting the small settlements in Greenland but I really think it will be a worthwhile cruise particularly if your interests are scenery and wildlife photography. Below are a few photographs to wet your appetite.

St John's, Newfoundland . We did a 'Puffin and whale watching tour' which was very interesting even though we didn't see any whales. The sail-in and sail-out of St. John's was very scenic too...

We docked right in the centre of the city

We saw lots of puffins....very cute!....

as well as lots of other sea birds

I'll post some Greenland picture in the next post.

We visited Greenland in July but it was still quite chilly. The icebergs were spectacular.

Nanortalik is a small settlement but we were made very welcome by the local people. There isn't a lot to see in the town but there were a lot of walks through some wonderful scenery.

Crew members were collecting ice to turn into ice sculptures!

Thanks for your pictures.  We did the Voyage of the Vikings also and loved it.  We did book this cruise also but hope Princess has wised up and has some lectures on the area.

Qaqortoq is also a small settlement  with very welcoming local people and some beautiful, flower filled countryside. 

I would do this trip again in a heartbeat.

We are on the next cruise in 2022 (I hope!) so thanks for the information.  Having had the experience of the Princess Cays, I can imagine the tender congestion.  Being elite will be a plus.  Our interest is seeing the country, walking around on our own viewing, taking pictures and enjoying the atmosphere without any or few stimuli.  As for being up close to the ice, we live in south Texas for a reason and no thankyou.  We can view it from a distance satisfactorily.

As for the crowded ship interior due to the weather, that we have experienced before in other cruises due to bad weather and survivable.  We do know the secluded spaces on the CB.  We simply retreat to our balcony cabin.  The lectures, if they have them, can be viewed on the cabin TV instead of the crowded theater.  

We are looking forward to visiting Greenland crowds and all.

Here are the people we used.  It's very hard to say what will have changed with them from 2019 to 2022, not only from the just the passage of three years' time, but of course especially from Covid.  But you can use my contacts from last year as a starting point.  We were very pleased with all of them and would use them again without hesitation.  One piece of advice is to be sure to book a closed boat tour so you can go inside the cabin to warm up.

Nuuk:  [email protected]  We worked with a gentleman named Anders.

Qaqortoq:  [email protected]  I communicated with both Pitsi and Naja.  Don't get frustrated with slow communication from these guys.  I didn't always get answers to my emails but the tour worked out great.

Thank you, I saved this information, and bookmarked their websites.   I hope we can make this trip.

I also had to rebook to 2022. 

Do I need local currency?

We did this trip in late August 2019. To me the trip to Greenland was all about the unspoiled beauty of the nature and landscapes and simplicity of living.  We  did the hikes that Princess offered in all 3 ports (26 miles total of all 3). Each was different and beautiful....a photographers delight.

We heard people comment about nothing to do in the ports but how many prople go to Greenland for shopping??  Country is 2/3 ice and uninhabiltable...

We had done Iceland in July which was also a treat.  Reykjavik was more developed than I thought - great city.  But trips out to the parks and scenery were spectacular.  And Blue Lagoon was well worth the time

Did you use local currency? I'm not sure if I need to buy some and what to buy.

I agree that the landscape and nature are the reasons we are going to Greenland and I am sure we will not be disappointed.  Iceland was interesting as we called on three ports and again it was the landscape and nature that made it so successful.  Reykjavik was a lot bigger and nicer than we had thought as well.  

As I recall both are on the Euro

Greenland is a former colony of Denmark and prior to that Norway.  It is still under the protection of Denmark and as such the currency is the Danish Krone (DKK).  

Perhaps foolish question - but we love MUTS and have only cruised summer or warm water (Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii) - Does MUTS still play on cold arctic nights?  I would get bundled up to watch a good flick.

Embark on a historic Canada and New England voyage with Princess Cruises

History buffs, this is your chance to unwind on a historic journey—starting at the birthplace of the American Revolution! Princess Cruises® now sets sail from Boston with seven-day cruises to Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown, and Portland. And if a more extended escape is what you crave, hop on one of Princess’ 10-day voyages from Boston to Quebec City, Canada, with stops in Saint John, Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown, Saguenay, and an overnight stay in charming Québec City. But that's not all—for those looking for an unparalleled adventure, Princess is offering a 17-day odyssey to Greenland, a land of towering glaciers, magnificent fjords, and authentic local experiences. With a variety of Canada and New England itineraries to choose from, get ready for an escape as epic as the memories you’ll carry home.

A wicked awesome city

Boston—a city that's not only a history aficionado’s dream but also a seafood lover's paradise and an outdoor enthusiast's playground—is the ultimate opening act to your blockbuster cruise. With its blend of historic allure and modern pizzazz, trust us, this city is wicked awesome.

Kick things off by following the historic Freedom Trail. Visit the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum for a dose of revolutionary excitement, then switch gears with a trip to the Institute of Contemporary Art for a modern twist. Get your taste buds ready for lobster roll taste-testing at iconic spots like Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. Need a breather? Boston Common, the oldest park in America, is the perfect place for relaxation.

Iconic coastlines and more

Welcome to your Canada and New England adventure, where rocky coastlines, colonial history, and fresh seafood create the perfect recipe for an unforgettable vacation. Cruise from Boston, New York, Ft. Lauderdale, or Québec City, and embark on a journey where beauty surrounds you by sea and land alike. And for fall foliage enthusiasts, don't miss the chance to set sail in autumn, where you'll be treated to the breathtaking spectacle of leaves turning rich hues of red, purple, orange, and yellow. In these enchanting seaside towns adorned with picturesque lighthouses, a bygone era comes vividly to life.

Follow the footsteps of history

First stop, historic cities that breathe life into America's roots. Tour Boston’s Historic Faneuil Hall, the site of famous speeches by prominent figures like Samuel Adams. In Lexington and Concord, visit the famous North Bridge where “the shot heard ‘round the world” began the American Revolution, and commemorate the influence these two towns had on America’s quest for liberty. New York City awaits, promising non-stop entertainment and a warm Statue of Liberty welcome. Travel back to the Gilded Age in Newport, RI where history and elegance collide. Charlottetown is a reader's paradise, especially if you're a fan of Anne of Green Gables. Cruise through Eastern Canada, savoring the French flair of Nova Scotia's coastal villages and the charm of Québec City's Rue St. Louis. The city’s cobblestone streets and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Old Québec, give you a taste of Europe without the jet lag. Iconic sights like Peggy's Cove's lighthouse and Saint John's historic churches are also must-sees.

And don’t forget the seafood

Now, let’s talk seafood. Dine like a New Englander by slurping a bowl of clam “chowdah,” savoring fresh crab cakes, or indulging in the sweetness of Maine blueberries. Cruise and chew your way through local dishes and delicacies for a taste of the region’s best flavors.

Not your grandma’s history lesson

Get ready to step into the pages of history with Princess’ American Heritage itineraries that'll have your heart pounding like a field drum. This isn’t your grandma’s history lesson; this is a time-traveling adventure more immersive than a Revolutionary War reenactment.

Mist and marvels in Canada

For mist, marvels, and a delicious dose of Canadian history, you’re going to be captivated by Princess’ Maple Explorer cruisetour . Sail into the thunderous mist of Niagara Falls, where nature puts on a show like no other. Get drenched in the thrill of the falls before embarking on a historic journey through Canada's gems. First stop—Old Québec, the original walled city in North America. Walk its cobblestone streets, and you'll practically hear the whispers of the past echoing around you. This city's got stories, and it's ready to spill them.

Making waves in the Arctic

And trust us, the world's largest island is remote, rich, and ready to wow you. Departing from Boston, board Emerald Princess® for a unique, 17-day-long expedition that marries the best of the East Coast with three day-long visits to jaw-dropping ports in Greenland. Qaqortoq serves up scenic fjords that'll make your jaw drop even further. Nuuk is like stepping into a fairytale with storybook cottages straight out of a Hans Christian Andersen tale. And Nanortalik? It's a stroll through fields so colorful, that even rainbows would be jealous. With opportunities to view massive glaciers, experience vibrant culture, and do some out-of-this-world sightseeing, think of it as a love affair with nature that'll make all of your other vacations green with envy!

Sail, sip, and save!

6 Top Transatlantic Cruises for 2024

T ransatlantic cruises are unique when you compare them to traditional cruises most people book for family trips and romantic getaways. These voyages tend to be longer in general, and they have more built-in days at sea and offer a lot more time on board as a result. Repositioning cruises that include a transatlantic crossing tend to attract more retirees and travelers who just want to relax and enjoy their ships' amenities, especially since fewer days in port means fewer excursions and more time doing nothing at all.

That said, the fact that transatlantic cruises can last as few as seven nights means they may fit in your plans more easily than you may think. There are also some benefits to transatlantic crossings that may not be obvious, including lower nightly rates, more onboard credit, and more time to kick back and relax at a floating luxury resort in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

If you're curious which transatlantic cruises are best for 2024, here are six top picks with different cruise lengths, itineraries and unique destinations to explore.
