Finance Act Signals Higher Passenger Taxes and Fees

The Greenland Finance Act was signed on November 9, 2026, stating an intention to increase passenger fees from 2028:

• National cruise passenger tax: The current rate of DKK 50 per passenger per landing is intended to increase to DKK 100 per passenger per landing.
• Municipal landing fee: The current maximum of DKK 50 per passenger per landing is intended to increase to a maximum of DKK 100 per passenger per landing. Each municipality determines the fee within this limit and decides which landing sites it applies to.

The new rates are expected to take effect from 2028.
