Maniitsoq, Greenland Cruises

Maniitsoq, Greenland Cruise Port

• Made up of four colonial buildings, the Maniitsoq Museum gives a look at area history with a cooper’s workshop, bakery, brewery, and other areas of commerce. There are also costumes and art on display, which provide a look into the town's part.
   
• If it's the Arctic, there must be fjords. The Eternity Fjord or Evighedsfjorden can be climbed or viewed by boat; regardless of the approach, the views are magnificent (although better from the top).
   
• Anglers find fishing for Arctic char at a premium in Maniitsoq, with multiple spots from which to choose. Whether you hire a guide or go it alone, it's a stimulating encounter for any fishing enthusiast, thanks to the sheer size of the catch and the scenic backdrop.
   
• With the area a playground for humpback whales, whale watching (and dolphin watching) tours are extremely popular here. Since whales love to swim around the fjords, it's little wonder that searching for whales is usually met with success. Some whales, such as the bowhead whale, stick around all year long.
