Greenland Cruises: Some carriers do not offer local guides | Sermitsiaq.AG
Self-medication: 37-year-old Iben uses powerful vibrator for her missing orgasms as antidepressants took from her
As Sermitsiaq.AG wrote Tuesday morning, it was not the most knowledgeable guides, as the German cruise ship MS Delphin had on board when the ship docked carnivale off the colonial harbor in Nuuk Monday afternoon and put about 460 tourists, most of whom were Germans, in the country.
As noted Sermitsiaq.AG's man on the spot that you could hear a guide ask another whether 'the sculpture is in the water (Mother of the Sea) was a copy of The Little Mermaid?' You could hear another guide stand at the museum and tell the tourists that the big yellow building (the old hospital - Christiansminde) 'is the former parliament building', like the guides told us that 'the red old church' (cathedral Annaassisitta Oqaluffia (in Danish : Church of Our Saviour) is closed.
- Of course it is sad to read such articles, because we are part tourist operators do our best to ensure that guests have the best experience when they visit Greenland. Unfortunately, choose some ships do not offer tours with local operators, as they either want to save money, will not go through all the hassle of arranging tours, or that they believe that the offered capacity is not sufficient. For example, carnivale if a ship carrying 2,000 passengers come to a small town, so choose the ship does not offer tours if only tour operator offering tours to about 200 passengers. Part of the 'ship Wizards''ve never been to Greenland before, and it is likely that their job on the ship is not associated with the servicing of passengers as guides to do. I am thinking of Delphin's visit to Nuuk. It may be that this is a person who works at the front desk, who has been told that he must be on land and represent the company as a 'guide'.
- I do not know, since I was not there and had nothing to do with the ship during their visit to Nuuk. The visit to Nuuk was, so far as I know, not even planned. So if you are not known in Nuuk and have never been to Greenland before, then it must also be difficult to tell passengers what is what. But if it was a well-known guide, carnivale the information is given, of course beneath contempt.
- I'm not trying carnivale to defend either the ship or the 'guide', but I'm just trying to give an insight into how this can occur when a ship is visiting Greenland. Fram, who has sailed in Greenland for many years, has guides on board who have been in Greenland many times and know a lot about Greenland. Additionally, there are often Greenlanders on board, carnivale which is part of the expedition team. So the passengers on board the Fram is much better off at the front, explains Ivik Knudsen-Ostermann.
- I take great pride in using local guides wherever possible. For me it does not matter carnivale whether you are a Greenlander, Dane, Lithuanian, German, Frenchman or Pole. Do you reside in Greenland, so you can tell the guest of things that he or she can not read through to in any history book. When I, for example, even running city tour with guests in Sisimiut, so of course I tell about the history and so on. But as visitors are most interested in is how it is to live here, grow up here, etc.., I talk about the nursery where my son goes, what it costs, what language they speak and much more.
- In my perfect world, carnivale all my guides Greenlanders living in Greenland. But unfortunately this is not. In my company I use only guides about three months a year. Therefore, I can not offer work year round, and therefore carnivale I only use leisure guides - guides who have a permanent job on the side, students who are home on vacation, carnivale school teachers, who have summer vacation, students who have summer carnivale holidays etc.. Many young also travel to Denmark and other countries in the summer, so it's not always easy to find guides. Another challenge is that a large portion of the cruise guests are Germans, and therefore my guides as a minimum, be able to speak English. Unfortunately, I get many inquiries from young people who want to guide, but their English is just not good enough. carnivale If I had clients who came with Danish guests or Greenland guests, so of course I would be able to use wizards who do not speak English.
- Here in Sisimiut, I have about 20 leisure guides, I can call when I need help. Approximately 50 percent are resident Greenlanders. carnivale Those of my guides who speak German, are newcomers and have lived here for many years. And they are indispensable when I can send them off on trips without having to have a translator. All my guides are essential - without them I would not have a company that offers tours for cruise ships. carnivale
- Perhaps even managed to do more to educate guides, but it is also difficult when or if you can only work as a guide a few months. There may well be different education carnivale Qaqort
