It began as the Danish trading post of Frederikshåb in 1742. Ships anchor in the bay and tender passengers ashore, and the main sights are a short walk from the landing. The red-painted wooden church, built in 1909 in a Norwegian style, is one of the most handsome in Greenland. The town museum occupies old colonial buildings, including a carpenter's workshop, and covers Inuit and trading-post history. There is no road out of town, so you see Paamiut on foot. Paths lead up the rocky hills behind the houses to views over the fjord and the scattered islands offshore. The area has Greenland's largest population of white-tailed eagles, and you may see one over the water. Local food is what the sea and land provide: cod, halibut, seal and musk ox. The Danish krone is the currency, but the town has few shops, so bring a card and a little cash. ## Quick facts - **Currency:** Danish Krone (DKK) · €10 ≈ DKK 75 - **Timezone:** America/Nuuk (UTC-1) - **Tipping:** Not customary ## Location Coordinates: 61.9946, -49.6733 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Paamiut/@61.99461,-49.67325,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Paamiut&ll=61.99461,-49.67325&z=13) ## Nearby ports - [Qaqortoq](https://cruisello.com/destinations/greenland/qaqortoq.md): 241 km (130 nm) · Greenland - [Nuuk](https://cruisello.com/destinations/greenland/nuuk.md): 263 km (142 nm) · Greenland - [Nanortalik](https://cruisello.com/destinations/greenland/nanortalik.md): 315 km (170 nm) · Greenland ## Cruise lines stopping here - [Holland America Line](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/holland-america-line.md) ## Cheapest Available Sailing **[View this cruise →](https://cruisello.com/cruises/frost-fjord-current-north-atlantic-s-edge~HAL-VOLENDAM-20280715-17.md)** - **Price:** €4,399 per person (€8,798 total for 2 guests) - **Cruise Line:** [Holland America Line](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/holland-america-line.md) - **Ship:** [Volendam](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/holland-america-line/volendam.md) - **Duration:** 17 nights - **Departure:** 2028-07-15 - **Itinerary:** Frost & Fjord Current – North Atlantic’s Edge ## Cruises visiting Paamiut Prices are per person, two sharing. | Cruise | Ship | Line | From | Departure | Nights | Price | |------|------|------|------|------|------|------| | [Viking Wake – Greenland, Iceland & Norway](https://cruisello.com/cruises/viking-wake-greenland-iceland-norway~HAL-VOLENDAM-20270717-35.md) | Volendam | Holland America Line | 🇺🇸 Boston | 2027-07-17 | 35 | €8,569 | [See all Paamiut cruises](https://cruisello.com/cruises.md?stopoverPorts=paamiut) ## Ready to sail to Paamiut?
