VIDEO: Is This Greenland Voyage Virgin’s BEST Itinerary Ever?
Join VV Insider aboard Valiant Lady from Iceland to New York via Greenland for fjords, icebergs, unexpected northern lights, and an honest verdict on this remarkable crossing.
Some voyages are memorable for the places you visit. On our Valiant Lady crossing from Reykjavik to New York, the day sailing through Prince Christian Sound became the moment I will remember most. We also saw northern lights, took a small boat among Greenland’s icebergs, and found out how a scenic crossing feels when the weather turns. In the video, I share the journey and why I’d love Virgin Voyages to try this route again.
