Travel Tips: Getting to Greenland
Your Arrival:
You should plan on meeting us at the WANDERBIRD between 6 and 9 PM on the evening before your cruise departure date. You may stay aboard the WANDERBIRD, as our guest the night before your cruise departs, but plan on finding dinner in town. The first meal we serve aboard will be breakfast on the morning of departure. We will serve cold drinks, tea & coffee that evening and you may want to explore the small community and pick up any alcohol, or last minute items.

Most of our guests have found it more convenient to travel direct to Ilulissat, Greenland with Air Iceland via Reykjavik, Iceland. Other options include: fly to Ilulissat, Greenland via Copenhagen, Denmark with a stop over in Nuuk, Greenland or other Greenlandic community.
Getting to Aasiaat
The town of Aasiaat is just a short 40-minute flight from Kangerlussuaq international airport, which is reached by Air Greenland from Copenhagen. Flights depart daily in the summer, and a couple of times a week in the winter. You can also travel via Iceland with Air Iceland to Ilulissat, and from there with Air Greenland or by ferry from Diskoline. The passenger ferry Sarfaq Ittuk from the Arctic Umiaq Line, which shuttles along the Greenlandic west coast throughout the summer, docks at Aasiaat once a week.
