Save tourism: Postpone – don’t cancel!
Guide to Greenland asks our guests to postpone rather than cancel their travel plans to Greenland. This pandemic will pass, and global tourism will start up again. Postponing rather than cancelling gives the tour operators we cooperate with the best chance to survive this crisis and be ready for more adventures once we can all start travelling again.
For clients with questions
Please read the current Guide to Greenland cancellation policy here.
