How to arrive

By coastal ship from another region

Arctic Umiaq Line operates Sarfaq Ittuk, the domestic passenger coastal ship whose voyage connects South Greenland with all of the towns on Greenland’s west coast up to North Greenland. The ship sails virtually year-round, with arrivals to three towns in South Greenland, Nanortalik, Narsaq and Qaqortoq. If your holiday is a combination of South Greenland with another region on the west coast, sailing with Sarfaq Ittuk is a fantastic way to turn transit into a multi-day excursion for itself.
