Prince Christian Sound, Greenland

[dbjhughes]

Hi. I have heard one report of Princess Cruises doing an unadvertised detour through Prince Christian Sound during a Greenland cruise. Can people report whether this is the norm during their annual Greenland cruises from the UK, or whether the cruise in question was a one-off? Many thanks.

We were on the Island Princess in August last year, it was magical.

I was wondering the same.  I’m looking at a rd trip from NY itinerary to Greenland on Caribbean Princess . 3 Greenland ports  but none of the sea days say scenic cruising. I really want an itinerary that includes PCS.

This was not on our itinerary, which had us sailing round the outside of Greenland.  But the Captain announced he would sail down the sound either that morning, or the night before.  It was the highlight of the cruise.

I sailed thru here 20 years ago and IMHO is one of the most spectacular places I've  been. And I've sailed 80+ times

You've got 50 on me, but I'll agree about Greenland.  Freezing on shore, but the cruising was worth it.
