1st Sea Day on way to Greenland
August 3, 2025, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Pretty uneventful day, reading and people watching, we also watched the grand prix. Martin had a massive sweet treat yesterday, and I spent most of the day steering him away from another one. We wentRead more
Day 2 at sea on the way to Greenland

Well, it was a rocky night, Martin didn't sleep at all!! Noisy and rocky it was. We went to a pop-up bbq last, bit spicy for me but a lovely change. Last nights show was a Witney Houston sound alike!!Read more

Terrible tender day. They have been announcing tender operations since 7am it's 11.25am now and still only 60% of people off the ship. We have priority tender tickets but still have to wait as theRead more

As you said Julie hope it was a learning lesson as you have two more tours with tender boats. It’s a waiting game sometimes. The houses look wood framed, certainly colourful. And intriguing shaped icebergs. 7degees brrrrr. Xxx
TravelerIt has been great so far bren, so lucky with the weather, too. Although cold 6-8 degrees in both places should have been only 2 with drizzle and wind. Tomorrow should be the highlight for scenery we cruise the Prins Christian Sound, a stunning natural scenic waterway with wildlife viewing especially. Hoping for seals & maybe puffins. Then we head for Iceland, Reykjavik on the 11th.

Much better tender service today, we were ashore @ 11.30, went for a walk but the roads were terrible, rocks and pot holes and no pavements. We saw some bigger icebergs, took a few pics and found aRead more

Last port of call before we head for home. It's been a right miserable day. Martin has picked up a cold from somewhere and is sneezing 😷 a lot. We woke after a rough crossing for Reykjavik to thickRead more
TravelerGood morning to you both. Lovely pics and views and Ray said cheers over the Guinness. His favorite brew. Loving our time over here and although the weather could be a tad warmer, we have been lucky each and every day. Fantastic family party, Jacqui (as always) and of course chef Steven did a fantastic job. Best of all was to see Ian, Gary and Sophia. I will send some pics. Probably via messenger and Facebook. Xxxx
TravelerGlad to hear that Sheila, how did the party go yesterday? We've just been told storm floris is tracking us. Could have 5m waves tomorrow? XX ❤️
TravelerStay safe…. take your seasick pills.🥰 I did send you pics on messenger. Xx
