Tasiilaq, Greenland

Tasiilaq, Greenland

East Greenland's largest settlement is also its wildest, a huddle of timber houses on Ammassalik Island facing a coastline of jagged peaks and pack ice that keeps this side of the country cut off from the world for much of the year. The Tunumiit people here kept a language and a culture distinct from West Greenland well into the twentieth century, still visible in the small museum's carved masks and drum-dance traditions. Icebergs run aground in the bay by the hundred, calved from one of the fastest-moving glaciers on earth. Remote even by Greenlandic standards.

I believe if someone has ever tried travelling with SeaDream at least once he will want to do it gain. John S.Texas
I hate Commercial Cruises. So I reluctantly signed up for a SeaDream, and after a week on the boat, I could not think of one thing that was not done to perfection. The food was great, the staff was spectacular, and having only 50 couples made this a private yacht cruise. I have signed up for my second cruise, and probably will only Yacht with SeaDream in my future. Pat M.Florida
