AAPPILATTOQ
Nestled at the west end of the impressive Prins Christian Sound, and surrounded by steep mountains and rich fishing waters, Aappilattoq in South Greenland is a hidden gem for those cruise guests who are fortunate enough to visit the community.

In a series of images and words below we have told the story of both everyday life and cruise experiences in a town which is one of the most isolated fjord communities in the country.
