Cruises to Iceland/Greenland?

[johnjen]

Hello, I typically post over at RCL.

 

I have a question that so far, I can't find the answer to. I am seeking a cruise line that typically home ports out of the US and takes people to Iceland and Greenland.

 

We lived in Iceland for nearly four years when I was in the military, and it's been years since we've been there. For us, a perfect cruise would be in a relative itinerary out of NJ and visits Halifax, maybe a port visit in Newfoundland, up to Reykjavik and then on to Akureyri in the northern part of Iceland, over to a port in Greenland, and return to the states.

 

Are there any cruise lines that make this sort of run? Even one out of the UK or Europe might work as well.

What a great cruise that would be!!!! Yes there are some that stop in both Iceland and Greenland. Princess and HAL both do these and I believe possibly also Crystal and Costa may have one or two.

Some of these are repositioning and are London to NYC. These cruises normally run from the middle of July to September.

That would be the best, but it may not include Greenland. NCL did it a couple of years ago; London to NYC>

Google 'cruises to Iceland and Greenland' and several possibilities pop up. One out of London sounds amazing, but I imagine it depends on your budget. Hope you find what you are looking for. :)

HAL does North Atlantic cruises twice a year. Typically it is a 17 day over to Europe and 18 day back Boston return. We did the 17 day Boston/Rotterdam Boston, St. Pierre, St. John, Nuuk Greenland, Rekyavik, Shetland Islands, Bergen Norway, Stavanger, Kristiansand, Oslo, Rotterdam.. Different ports on the way back to Boston. Goes in July each year. Again in October.

I know that once a year Crystal Cruises has one of the ships do a crossing from London to New York City. It usually leaves London in late August and the past few years have included stops in both of these ports. We were on this cruise in 2004.

You could try Cunard or P & O. Both are part of Carnival Corp and have regular Iceland cruises from the UK.

we are planning to book the cruise, listed in September 2015. Before we do this, we would like to know how was your experience with the sea! Was the see rough during sailing? Do you know how the sea crossing is common?
