About Ilulissat

Ilulissat on Greenland’s west coast does what it says on the tin. Guests can see the cracking icebergs, some the size of skyscrapers, while nature lovers can take pleasure in the hiking trails in the hills. Although more than 80 per cent of land here is covered by the polar ice cap, the port itself is ice-free during the summer. Known as the gateway to Greenland, Kangerlussuaq was originally founded in 1941 as a US Air Force base, but in modern times has become an expedition cruise favourite.
