Greenland is surrounded by big bodies of water; namely the Greenland Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and Baffin Bay making it one of the favorite stops to visit during a cruise trip. But aside from vacation cruising, ferry to Greenland trips are also an ideal way to get to Greenland and stay awhile with its numerous ports scattered around its huge coastline.

Before the World War II, Greenland can only be reached through boats. It was only after the WWII that airports were constructed. They say Greenland is best discovered through the sea. These days, Greenland is one of the favorite vacation spots for nature lovers of the world.

Although some ferries carry freight, they mostly carry tourist and travelers. Ferries are a nice way to travel especially for those with time to spare. There are different kinds of ferries. These are the double-ended whose bows and stern can be interchanged when needed; the hydrofoil whose advantage is higher cruising speed; the catamaran that is known for high speed; the roll on-roll off ferries, also known as RoRo that has easy loading and unloading of vehicles; the cruiseferry which combines the features of a cruise ship and a RoRo; the fast Rofax which has a relatively large garage and passenger capacity; and the cable ferry which is used only for short distance traveling. Local travel agencies or the World Wide Web can provide booking services and information as to what type of ferry is available from the place nearest you to a trip to Greenland.
