About GST

Greenland Saga Travel (GST) is a division of Iceland Saga Travel, LLC (IST) and was formed in November 2006. Greenland Saga Travel is designed to introduce and position Greenland as an attractive travel destination for North American travelers.

GST has established a travel business to promote Greenland as a distinct travel destination - Destination Greenland - and an add-on travel destination for visitors to Iceland. IST, GST's parent company, has been booking trips to eastern Greenland since 2001.

Iceland Saga Travel, LLC and Greenland Travel in Copenhagen have created a travel program featuring air and land packages, escorted tours, customized itineraries and a full set of travel services for travelers to West Greenland.  GST continues to offer East Greenland packages in conjunction with Air Iceland, Arctic Wonders and Air Greenland and booking services for travel to South Greenland.
