Hello, I typically post over at RCL.

I have a question that so far, I can't find the answer to. I am seeking a cruise line that typically home ports out of the US and takes people to Iceland and Greenland.

We lived in Iceland for nearly four years when I was in the military, and it's been years since we've been there. For us, a perfect cruise would be in a relative itinerary out of NJ and visits Halifax, maybe a port visit in Newfoundland, up to Reykjavik and then on to Akureyri in the northern part of Iceland, over to a port in Greenland, and return to the states.

Are there any cruise lines that make this sort of run? Even one out of the UK or Europe might work as well.

I've already warned my family that this could happen and to bring a few warm clothes :eek:

It's really no big deal. My family and I lived in Iceland for 4 years and used to go out in the dead of winter there in shorts to go to the base gym. Canada's mean temperature in the summer is shorts and t-shirt weather anyway. A port change for me would be a unique opportunity....we'd discuss it amongst us, come to conclusions, make the best of a bad situation (maybe) and I'd be filming the action from the sensless idiotic fights that erupted in NYC. Now THAT would probably be one of the highlights of the cruise itself!!!

Here's the fate of one of Chandris Lines' ships, the ex-SS America/Australis:
