opportunity to visit three ports in the world's largest island of Greenland,
home to stunning landscapes including magnificent fjords and unique and varied
wildlife.
"The debut of Emerald Princess for our
maiden Boston season celebrates a convenient new home port for New
Englanders and beyond to set sail on a premium cruise at an exceptional value,
especially when compared to land-based vacations," said John Padgett,
