Practical
information

Here is some practical information to help you prepare for your voyage.

Entry requirements

To travel to Greenland, all you need is a valid passport; no visa is required.

Power outlets

On board Polarfront and in accommodations in Norway and Iceland, power outlets are the European standard type and supply 220 volts, 50 Hz.

Payment

There’s no need to change money into Norwegian or Icelandic krónur. Cards are accepted everywhere in Norway and Iceland, and the euro is the official currency on board Polarfront (you can pay for drinks and extras by card or in cash).

At the end of the voyage, if you’d like to thank the crew for their service, tips can be paid by card or in cash.

Staying connected

On our voyages, we want you to enjoy a unique experience in harmony with nature, which is why we encourage you to take a break from screens. That said, we completely understand that, for personal or professional reasons, you may want to stay in touch or simply remain reachable.

A few hours after Polarfront sets sail, cell phones lose service.

Polarfront now has a Starlink antenna, giving you internet access on your personal devices throughout the voyage. On board, ask our Chief Steward for the login details.

Packing smart

Our tips
for packing

In summer, the average temperature in Greenland hovers around 5°C (41°F). However, depending on the weather, temperatures can drop quickly. Be sure to bring clothes that will keep you warm.
