Set sail on the Northwest Passage: Epic High Arctic, a 17-day odyssey that traces the legendary sea corridor once sought by explorers in search of a new route across the top of the world. Beginning in Calgary and ending in Reykjavík, this journey threads through Canada’s High Arctic and Greenland, guiding you across a landscape where history and wilderness collide.
Imagine stepping into the footsteps of Arctic pioneers as you cruise through channels once icy and impenetrable—now open under endless skies. Visit remote Inuit and Greenlandic communities nestled along the way—each a vibrant dot amid a vast, silent wilderness—while wildlife unfolds around you: polar bears, muskoxen, whales, walrus, and Arctic foxes all share this realm.
Glide into the ice-laden expanse of the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the Jakobshavn Glacier calves gargantuan icebergs that float like ghostly sculptures. Wander silent tundra. Share stories under the midnight sun. Every day is a step deeper into the wild—an Arctic tapestry woven with history, nature, and awe.
