We Travelled to Qaqortoq, Greenland On A Cruise Ship! This Was Unexpected!

- This is one of the most UNEXPECTED countries we'd ever thought we'd visit. After ticking off our bucket list destination, Iceland, a few days ago, it's crazy to think we were then about to tick off GREENLAND! What the heck!? Ludvig and I both brainstormed, and realised that we don't know any body who's been here before...
Today, we head to one of the best places to visit in Greenland, Qaqortoq. Welcome to Qaqortoq! Pronounced “Kak or tock” ..we think, although we may butcher that word throughout this video… Qaqortoq is the fifth-largest town in greenland, and with 3000 inhabitants, it’s biggest town in southern Greenland. It boasts that classic picturesque landscape that you would imagine when thinking of this unique country. Steep rolling hills dotted with brightly coloured houses, that looked like little legos, 18th century colonial buildings, interesting stone carvings and some of the smiliest people you can imagine.
Oh, and the fun doesn't end there... next up, we visit an even more AMAZING part of Greenland! You do NOT wanna miss this episode...

Hej hej allihopa! ("Hey everyone" in Swedish) We are Chloé, the Kiwi, and Ludvig, the Swede. We met at a Ski Resort in Canada and have since been travelling the whole world together. So far... we got engaged in the snowy mountains, hiked through Norway, flown a propeller plane around Sweden, visited 20 (ish) US states, cruised through the Mediterranean, Iceland and Greenland, road tripped through the whole of New Zealand in a campervan and now we're in the process of moving to CANADA! Phew! Clearly we hate the word boring.
Our aim is to provide you with helpful travel tips and entertainment from around the globe, hopefully inspiring you to EXPLORE MORE! We love adventure ...with a touch of luxury. You can expect to see lots adventure, along with a generous dose of unique hotels, AirBnbs, luxury stays and business class flights (lol, I say this with my fingers AND toes crossed).

Omg those are my dogs! The yellow one and the dark one in the background, the puppy was my sister in laws😍
NO WAY!! Haha that is SO CRAZY! Wow, we were absolutely obsessed with your doggies! They made our whole day haha! How cool that you ended up watching this video!
They are the best! The yellow is named Lille which means ‘little’. The dark one is Gringu, he is named after the German Shepherd we had when I was a baby.
It’s so funny to suddenly see our dogs on UA-cam. So cool!
@@carinaolesen1469 Awwww gorgeous names! haha yes I bet that would be such a shock!! Thanks for having such cute doggies in Greenland ;) haha
@@chloeandludvig you’re so very welcome haha! Thanks for visiting our country, I hope you had a great time in our small city! I automatically subscribed when I saw my dogs!
We are going here on Carnival Legend in August. Can't wait.
... I breathed the air IN Greenland ... I wore my shoes IN Greenland ... I was standing ON Greenland IN Greenland! ... haha loved it
😂😂 we couldn’t quite believe it!!!
We live in Ilulissat for our third year now. Husband with Munck building a new upgraded airport so bigger planes can land here? I love your video and your excitement seeing and experiencing everything! Reminds me so much of us when we arrived here! Greenland is just an amazing country! So so beautiful! You must come and visit Ilulissat! Third largest town with 5000 inhabitants and 3000 greenlandic sled dogs! You will love it here! We also have the most productive fjord in the northern hemisphere and a UNESCO World heritage site! Takuss! ❤
Oh my goodness, that's awesome! Wow, where were you before Greenland? We loved it there and definitely have it on our list of places to visit again! Ilulissat is going on there! :D
We are from South Africa! So totally opposite weather! 😁
@@leoniefourie216 Oh my goodness, that is the total opposite!
Enjoyed your video. I’ll be visiting Greenland and Iceland next month. Qaqortoq is on the itinerary. Now the town will look a little familiar.
I understand our ship provides bug nets to wear over a hat.
Thanks for joining us! That’s super exciting- you with love it! That’s fantastic your ship provides bug nets - a huge help 😆
Fine video,I was sailing to Greenland with m/s Umanak in 1968,wonderful country...
Thanks for watching! Oh wow thats very cool!
Excellent video; great information and delightful to watch. We are going in September and will look for the stairs. Fabulous tip!
That’s so nice to hear! Thank you for watching, and we’re glad you found this helpful! You will absolutely love this place!!
Loved this video. We will be cruising to Greenland in September and watching this made me even more excited. We also will be stopping at 2 other ports while in Greenland. Thanks for this great video
Hey Joy!! Thanks for watching! We’re so glad you liked the video. How exciting you get to experience all of this and more!! It’s an incredible place - have fun!!!😁
Are you on Carnival Legend? We are! So excited.
I'm going in Aug 2024. Thanks for the preview.
Ohhhhh I'm so excited for you! We are dying to get back there - enjoy!!
@@chloeandludvig What month did you cruise to Greenland? I'd be bummed about a missed port due to weather. We missed out on Torshavn last year due to weather. Excellent video, thank you!
Excellent! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Did you visit any other towns in Greenland except Qaqortoq?
Thank you! We didn’t - just Qaqortoq. Our second day in Greendland was the cruise through Prince Christian Sound which was incredible!
must be a nice experience
Hello Greenland from Newfoundland
Hello!!!😄😄
Great video
we are from the UK and will cruise to Iceland and Greenland July 2024 from Southampton UK
one of our ports is Qaqortoq in Greenland so your video will be a great help
will checkout your other videos
many thanks
Greenland was incredible! I am so excited you get to experience it too!!❤️ enjoy!!
Great video. Thanks a lot.
Thanks heaps for watching!!!
Glad you made it. Many of us have tried several times by Cruise Ship and also by Air but have had our trips and and tours cancelled due to bad weather and "other" extenuating circumstances. If you book a trip to Greenland its as likely as not that you will not make it.
Oh really? I didn't know it was such a tough place to get to! In that case, I am very happy we made it! :)
Beautiful area…was there August 2024😊
That’s awesome!! 🙌🏼
Could not pass up the elite carnival offer with free balcony will be going for my bday Aug 2026 :)
Visiting Greenland one day.
Do it! We can’t wait to get back
I’m so excited for my trip there in September.
Hey Penny! That's so exciting! We're happy you get to experience this place yourself!!
2 questions did the bugs bite or just annoying what month ? 2nd how did you pay for your coffee ? Great video. Iam going in June of 2024 .
The bugs didn’t seem to bite - they were just reeeeally annoying 🤣 and we just used our credit/debit cards :)
Thanks for the video! We will be there in August! Can you tell me if they take USD or if I need to exchange money before going?
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! And that’s so exciting for you 😍 we didn’t actually use cash as we were able to use our card the whole time. I’m sure your cruise operator will be able to let you know :)
Hi I am your new subscriber, Wow! beautiful greenland amazing view😍😍😍
I'm just asking if you have any plans to travel to Asia☺️🇵🇭 i'm from the Philippines.
Hey Fernando! Yay welcome to the channel!! Yes definitely - we want to head over that way next year!!
now i really want to go back to my hometown again soon :D
You’re from here!?
@@chloeandludvig yes i am 👍 but moved back to Denmark around 6 years ago
@@supanjibobu5660 Oh wow!! That's cool! We loved your home ;)
@@chloeandludvig great to hear 👍 come visit in the winter time its so beutifull with the northern lights
Are those bugs there year round or are they seasonal. They would drive me insane!
I’m not sure if it is a year round thing! You do kinda get used to it after a while, and they sell some trendy mosquito head nets ;) we were here in September
The mosquitos are here from spring to autumn. Qaqortoq has them, Narsaq the nearby smaller town not so much. We don't almost have them in Qassiarsuk (Brattahliđ).
@@threeexthreeisnine8204 Ahh, thanks for sharing! I'm sure a lot of people watching this video will appreciate that info!! :D
@@chloeandludvig do you know how much the mosquito nets cost in US dollars?
@@pennylawson9660 I am not sure actually - we never looked into buying one! ...although we would definitely recommend it haha
👏❤️✊
Thanks for watching!😁
I'm talking... IN Grenland!
Small little place
Omg can you guys go to kullorsuaq it cool too😮😮😮😮😮
It funny when to you guys said qaqartoq
Im from greenland and im at kullorsuaq and i bron at nuuk
Haha that’s so cool!! We absolutely loved our visit to Greenland and already plan to head back there over the next few years!😍😍
Did you see any wildlife while in Greenland?
We were hoping to see whales/seals while cruising through Prince Christian Sound, but no unfortunately we didn't! It is very common to spot them though! :D
I cant believe how many mosquitos there are
I know!! We definitely weren't prepared - next time we're getting one of those face hat net covering things, haha.
My one is pakistan to Australia
You have a cruise from Pakistan to Aus?
You didn't tell that Greenland is part of Kingdom of Denmark!
Ah thank you Tore for the reminder - we will place that information in the next video when we head to Prince Christian Sound 😊
You didn’t mention how awesome this video is!
Qaqortoq is pronounced more like "Rra rror tok"
Ooooo, thank you so much!! I knew we would probably say it wrong! Haha

Haha I’m so sorry but we don’t understand your comments - Ludvig tried to read them and kind of picked up on what you’re saying :)

Annoying.
Care to elaborate?
The bugs for sure
