From Pole to Pole on an epic expedition of discovery 

You’ll begin your 93-day expedition cruise in Reykjavik, Iceland, and sail across the Denmark Strait to Greenland, before crossing through the fabled Northwest Passage to the Canadian Arctic and Alaska. We’ll land at sites linked to early exploration history, visit Inuit communities and look out for Arctic wildlife, including seabirds, seals, whales and polar bears.

On landings and shore excursions, you’ll explore the national parks of the Pacific coast before taking in the warm seas and vibrant cultures of Mexico and Central America. In South America, you’ll visit ancient sites in Ecuador, Peru and Chile before witnessing the ethereal splendour of the Chilean fjords and Patagonia. Ending your expedition in style, you’ll spend four days amidst the pristine otherworldly beauty of Antarctica before returning to Ushuaia in Argentina.
