Description
We passed through Prince Christian Sound twice on our 35 day Voyage of the Vikings cruise. This trip was West to East. We traversed the opposite direction a month later.
Navigating one of Greenland’s most beautiful fjords means threading the needle through the glaciers and narrow granite cliffs. The 105-kilometer-long (66-mile-long) fjord separates Greenland’s mainland from the Cape Farewell Archipelago, a group of islands off of Greenland’s southern tip. The remote route is accessible by ship only during the summer months, when warmer temperatures reduce the chance of ice blockages around the entrance. A journey along the passage offers an up-close look at glaciers, icebergs and the imposing mountains that dominate Greenland’s landscape, towering over the narrow channel with their spires and jagged ridges.
The Voyage of the Vikings on the Holland America (HAL) cruise ship, Zaandam, began and ended in Boston, Massachusetts. Highlights included Maine, Newfoundland, Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Netherlands, Ireland, and Scotland.
