Great video - good info and you hit the nail on so many things 🙂 Two notes about Qaqortoq: 1. Qaqortoq doesn't only take 40 ships as a maximum. The number the town can take is decided by how much the harbour can handle. Which means that the number just keep rising each year (except Corona). At the same time compared to other destinations the season is very short... late May to early October, but pretty much just July, August and September. With so many guests (more than 45.000 pax this year) coming in and with a town of aprox. 3.000 inhabitants, it puts a lot of strain on the people living here. Imagine to wake up in your own town and suddenly with a big ship (+3.000 pax) your town has 100% more people. So socioeconomic as you talk about it's problematic that the town gets 'invaded' so much and so often in summer. Especielly since some cruisers don't understand that when they show up with all their money and demands, that for instance the local choir can't preform... because they got a normal day job from 8-16 o'clock and with the cost of things here no one can earn a living just working around 40 days a year. Or why Qaqortoq Museums toilet isn't free, because we don't get it cleaned for free. Or why the hotel closes when ships come in... because selling a cup of coffee for hours of free wifi doesn't pay the bills. And so many other issues that masstourism brings to small societies. Ofcourse at the destination we are happy that people want to visit us and learn more about us, but sadly not all people have turned on the understanding-mode.. in short: Don't expect that Qaqortoq is like Nassau 🙂 2. The cost of excursions. A small commercial: A visit at Qaqortoq Museum gives you acces to the big Main Building (3 floors) that is the oldest building in Southgreenland dating back to 1804. It gives you acces to the very intestering Norse Museum about "Vikings" in Greenland. It gives you acces to the beautifull old red church from 1832. All that for 60 DKK, 10 dollar or 10 euro. Pretty good deal right? 🙂 Well, not for all - some even think it should be free. Not having an understanding-mode turned on for the economy in the country they are visiting :-/ Fun fact: For 60 DKK, 10 dollar or 10 euro in Greenland you can also bye 3 cucumbers. Just a little insight in the economy and prices here heh Greetings, Dan Ullerup, Museum Director Qaqortoq Museum

@aprilwichman98 Год назад

Thank you for the insight, Dan. I am so excited to visit your beautiful land via Royal Caribbean in September. I promise you reverence and respect for your culture and your land. Your museum sounds wonderful. I will try to stop there.

@danullerup3873 Год назад

@@aprilwichman98 Sounds good - I'm no longer the Museum Director but I can ofcourse still highly recommend the museum. It's just 2 min. walk away from the tender drop-off and a big black building at the main square so it's pretty easy to find :-)

@beachmom2001 Год назад

Thank you for this information. I hope that overtourism doesn't come to Greenland. I will be coming to Greenland and Qaqortoq in September

@danullerup3873 Год назад

@@beachmom2001 You are welcome, but overtourism already has come to Qaqortoq. This year more than 60 ships were planned coming to Qaqortoq. And the numbers just keep rising... the goverment of Greenland is therefor working on increasing the price for cruiseships, where Greenland right now is among the cheaper ones in harbour prices etc.

@MrPestyCat Месяц назад

We are coming to your town in July and looking forward to visiting your museum. $10 is cheap so you won’t find complaints from us. I agree with you

@travel4funn720 Год назад

Fun fact, Its not a long walk into down town Reykjavik and practically every street has a bus stop which runs every 15 mins. The cost is about $3.50 which you can ask the bus driver for a ticket to change buses which is included. You can also just ride the local bus all around town to site see and get dropped off where you got on. Glad you guys had fun. Loved seeing your videos🥰⚓️🇦🇽💙

@helenrizi4719 Год назад

We did Iceland round trip from Copenhagen pre pandemic-no flies and no fog. The beauty of that itinerary was seeing the Shetland and Faroe Islands which were also unique. Recently did a 14 day Norway cruise which visited several ports above the arctic circle-experienced lots of rain and fog on that cruise. I think my main advice for that type of expected weather is to choose a ship with pool decks that include a solarium and a ship that has lots of interesting indoor venues like the ‘crows nest’. The ship we were on was more suited for fun in the sun rather than rain-there was so much outside space that was unusable due to the weather.

The mobility aboard ship was not an issue as the crew was very helpful.

Very helpful information: Next year, August we'll be sailing out of Copenhagen to Norway, Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, Norway and back. Even your bad and ugly doesn't sound to bad. We've experienced some of the Fog, cancelations and rough seas before. So not a problem. The terrain & cost we'll take under consideration. And guess we had better stock up on Rain Gear.

We were on this B2B cruise with you. I agree that the fog was depressing. Even though tested for Covid the day before turnover, I tested positive the first day of the second cruise. Eight days of quarantine, even in a balcony cabin, was very difficult with the cold and foggy weather. The first day we were actually able to enjoy the balcony was in Newfoundland.

@kimcarey5092 Год назад

We have not cruised to Iceland, but we have been there twice on extended layovers going to Europe. Both times we were there the weather was HORRIBLE, but we did love Iceland. One of the highlights was horseback riding on the lava fields. The horses are totally different in Iceland- they are smaller and move with a different gait. Despite the rain (which managed to get inside our waterproof gear) it was a great experience. There are a number of interesting places to visit in Reykjavik ( museums and such) and the waterfalls in the National Parks are amazing. Driving in bad weather in Iceland is not for the feint of heart.

@chriswilliams6568 Год назад

Yes, rain does do that, nothing is impermeable. We loved Iceland, had 3 days there on a cruise in Sept 2015 while on a Transatlantic, we loved it. Not bad weather either. We had to laugh as the tour took us to see the President’s house and the Americans were in shock as there is no fence, no guards and totally open. The Americans questioned it, the guide said they never have any problems there.

Hello from Lisbon, which month did you visit Iceland and Greenland?

@bartwhiteman9875 2 месяца назад

Epic!

@Swampzoid Год назад

I'd love to see Iceland and Greenland. I'd accept the bad for most of it look fantastic.

@eileenloring6660 11 месяцев назад

This was a great video! I also have a 24 day Canada, Greenland, Iceland planned for August next year from my home port of Boston. ( different cruise line from yours) Your content will really help us prepare better for the trip. With 17 schedule ports to visit ( weather permitting) I am now researching which ones we actually will get off and explore. Would you guys go to every port scheduled? I am looking into things we can do without having to book pricey excursions and saving it for the places we really want to see. I’ll continue to be watching you!! Oh- one other question… did you need to have local currency for the different ports?

@Hawkeye2001 9 месяцев назад

I'll be on the same cruise. I'm gathering information and ideas now. I've noticed that some of the cruise sponsored excursions are already getting picked over and sold out.

Is there a better time to go when it wouldn't be so foggy and less flies? I went East coast Maritimes, Maine in 2016 in September and hurricane Rose was right behind us. Yucky weather with lots of fog. But when l went to Alaska in July I got sunburn from hot tubbing every day!

@JJCruise Год назад

Great question! Since the summer season is so short, cruise season is really limited to just a few summer months. Thus, from what we learned from our new Iceland and Greenland friends, it really doesn’t change as that is their typical summer (cruise season) weather. We did get some awesome days of sun while in Iceland and Greenland but they all said that was rare. 😅

Hi JJ thanks for sharing, am considering booking this SH Vega cruise for Iceland & Greenland for August. Glad you didn’t list motion sickness in your bad or ugly so all good on this cruise even though is a small ship? BTW Which month did you go?

@JJCruise 3 месяца назад

We went in August. We didn’t have issues with motion but it is always possible.

@TheFlowerRoom Год назад

I am planning a cruise to Iceland for 2024. Would you recommend waiting until you get to those cruise ports to book excursions like you would for Norway?

@JJCruise Год назад

No. Tours are not readily available at port. Though, we do recommend looking at outside excursion companies like Viator as often they are cheaper (and more diverse) than those through the cruise line. If it’s a long excursion or near all aboard times, then it would still make more sense to pay the premium of booking through the cruise line as some excursions are quite inland and away from port which could be a true risk for making it back onboard in time. ☺️

@@JJCruise i am in the first week . At off July what weather like and should i bring like whole socks and a north face coat . What places would u say the best in ice to visit would it be best to go to book the blue lagoon though the blue lagoon or tour place . Would be able to walk around after the lagoon is there any close where we won’t get lost . Thanks

@jlloyd1077 Год назад

We were on an NCL Iceland/ Greenland cruise in July. We missed all 3 Greenland ports due to waves and icebergs. 😢

@sandramartin6770 Год назад

Oh no. That would be so disappointing for such an epic trip. I hadn't given that possibility any thought. I just booked a Canada/Greenland cruise last week.

@lemurvids7407 Год назад

Yikes! Did you get to see any of Greenland from the ship? Teetering on whether to take the same cruise end of June-beginning of July this summer. Was it worth it for the rest of the cruise?

@jlloyd1077 Год назад

@@lemurvids7407 We did not go anywhere near Greenland. We sailed from Reykjavik to Norway instead of Greenland. We are also booked on the same cruise again this summer. Fingers crossed we make it to Greenland. We decided to try again because NCL gave us future cruise credit to make up for not going to Greenland. The cruise after us missed one Greenland port and one Iceland port, but they did not receive any compensation.

@CeremmoniesbyJudith Год назад

We are looking into Iceland instead of Alaska.... which do you prefer?

@JJCruise Год назад

Iceland is incredible! So is Alaska, but in a different way. We would recommend starting with Alaska and then going to Iceland later on as Iceland cruises are typically much more expensive. 😊 Feel free to email us at jj@LoveLandAndSea.com and we will help you book best itineraries and best rates!

@joyce52 Год назад

Beautiful sunsets. I love sunsets and on my last cruise, I got some amazing photos. Every night I was on the sunset side of the ship outside. It was funny because there was a 14-year-old boy doing the same thing and as we met out there each night we found that we were both sunset photo people. He was so funny and so unlike most 14-year-olds, loving sunsets. I have been to Bermuda 33 or so times and have amazing photos of sunsets hanging in my living room. You just stole my heart with those photos.

@janetreynolds2745 Год назад

Do you experience rough seas crossing from Iceland to Greenland? Any passengers seasick?

@JJCruise Год назад

The seas were a little rocky but not too bad compared to the Tasman Sea in between Australia and New Zealand or theBay of Biscay up by the UK. Of course, any sea can become rocky with a harsh storm or wind gusts so never a for sure thing. 😅

@JustinMorales796 Год назад

Im thinking about doing this for my 40th birthday in 2024 in July. Do you think it would be good for a solo cruiser?

@JJCruise Год назад

That’s a tough one. On our sailing from NY to Reykjavik the audience was much older and mostly couples. I suppose it depends on how reliant you are on socializing with others as it may be less than usual (at least when it comes to our exact route). We loved our ports and would love to visit these ports again, so if you go for the ports you will have a good time!

@jm7643 Год назад

We have been to Iceland twice and now want to do an Iceland and Greenland cruise. We have driven around more than half of Iceland and found the driving easy so we would rent cars instead of doing expensive shore excursions. We also do that in Norway and Alaska. We look at what ship excursions we like and do it on our own. I have had bad cold weather in Iceland, but most of it was nice. It can be cold. North Iceland is sunnier than around Reykjavik. My plus is the beautiful scenery without the crowds. Where else can you take a boat ride on an iceberg lagoon? We aren’t party people so quiet is good for us. However, I have a sensitive stomach and am very put off by strange food. I had that problem in China and South Korea. So I would need to make sure that I have American style food.

@sydneyschellinger1382 Год назад

Can you just walk and enjoy the port in some ports or do you need to do excursions?

You can walk into port at some but there is a lot more to offer just a 30-60 minute ride away as well. ☺️

Where are you guys from, live? I like your hair better before you shaved your head on the side. Believe me, many of us lose our hair soon anyway so make the most of while you have it. LOL. Iceland has become so popular and its tourist infrastructure has not kept up, so not surprised that they do not have enough taxis for cruises that start or end there. I do not understand what you mean by a bad thing being that the weather is not hot. Of course it is not, most of us know this. We prefer cooler weather cruises. We hate the heat. There are cruises everywhere, from pole to pole, so weather will vary. That is not a bad point about those destinations, it is natural. Take Care.
