Set off on the Northwest Passage: The Legendary Arctic Sea Route, a 17-day expedition that carries you through the storied channels of the Canadian High Arctic and Greenland, where polar history and Arctic wilderness become one unforgettable adventure.
This voyage invites you to follow in the footsteps of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition, sailing the frozen corridors they once braved in search of a northern sea route, now transformed into a living tapestry of icy fjords and timeless culture. Along the way, you’ll wander into colorful Inuit villages, where local artisans keep tradition alive through handcrafted treasures. Traverse sprawling tundra in vibrant seasonal bloom, and watch for majestic wildlife, migratory whales, walrus hauled out on ice, vigilant muskoxen, and if fortune smiles, the elusive silhouette of a polar bear.
Glide through slippery channels aboard Zodiacs, floating close to calving glaciers, iceberg-strewn fjords, and rivers of ice. Helicopter flightseeing (when available) lifts the curtain to reveal sweeping Arctic vistas from above, adding an unforgettable aerial dimension to your polar odyssey.
Every day unfolds like a chapter in a polar saga: historic sites echoing exploration lore, elemental wilderness in its purest form, and moments that etch themselves into memory.
