Cruise port
Nuuk / Godthåb
Cruises to Nuuk: cruises and cruise ships to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Examples of shore excursions in Nuuk.
Nuuk combines the functions of Greenland’s capital with an impressive mountain and fjord landscape. For a port call, a walk around the city and a look at the mountains are a good starting point; plan longer outings around the weather, daylight and time in port.
Routes and ships
Greenland cruises may, for example, follow the coast between Ilulissat in the north and Narsarsuaq in the south, with stops in other settlements along the way. Check your confirmed itinerary to see which places your cruise visits in addition to Nuuk.
City and fjord
Quassussuaq (Lille Malene) and Ukkusissaq (Store Malene) rise directly behind the suburbs. The hike up Ukkusissaq is a challenging day trip; conditions on Quassussuaq vary depending on the season. Kayaking is one way to experience Nuuk and the fjord from the water. For hiking or water sports, a guided tour suited to the time available and current conditions is recommended.
