About Dundas

Dundas stands as one of Greenland's most captivating Arctic ports, offering cruise passengers an authentic glimpse into the raw beauty and unique culture of the far north. Served by HX Expeditions, this remote settlement has become an increasingly popular port of call for adventurous travelers seeking genuine Arctic experiences beyond the typical cruise itinerary. With three upcoming expeditions planned and peak visitation during the brief but spectacular Arctic summer of July, Dundas represents an exceptional opportunity to explore one of the world's most pristine and least-visited regions.

As a port of call rather than a home port, Dundas typically features on extended Arctic voyages, with most cruises lasting an impressive 16 nights. These expeditions often weave together a remarkable collection of Greenlandic destinations, including stops in Reykjavík, Nuuk, the stunning glacier town of Ilulissat, and the remote settlements of Uummannaq and Savissivik. This routing allows passengers to experience the full spectrum of Greenlandic landscapes and communities in a single journey.

Visitors to Dundas can expect intimate encounters with local Greenlandic culture, dramatic Arctic scenery, and the possibility of witnessing incredible natural phenomena. The settlement's proximity to pristine wilderness makes it an ideal base for kayaking, hiking, and wildlife viewing. While port facilities are modest—befitting Dundas's small-town character—the genuine warmth of local residents and the unparalleled natural beauty more than compensate, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
