While it can be windy at times, clear and calm days can bring forth strong sunlight. The prevailing high-pressure systems over Greenland often result in calm weather conditions.

While we cannot guarantee that you won't experience seasickness, it's better to be prepared and take preventative measures, especially if you haven't been at sea before. It's important to note that the sea in Scoresby Sound fjord is generally very calm, reducing the likelihood of experiencing seasickness.
