Cruise Overview

Emulate great explorers as we attempt to cross the Northwest Passage

This expedition cruise sails from Iceland to Greenland’s southern coast before making an attempt to sail to the heart of the Northwest Passage at Cambridge Bay.

Epic 19-day expedition cruise from Reykjavík, Iceland, along Greenland’s south coast and through the Northwest Passage to Cambridge Bay

Following a legendary route

From Reykjavík, we cruise to Greenland, taking in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ilulissat Icefjord. We’ll then attempt to navigate the icy channels of the Northwest Passage to Cambridge Bay, like the great explorers before us. We’ll explore the famous waterways of Prince Christian Sound, Baffin Bay, and the Davis Strait, all the way to Cambridge Bay, before finishing off in Edmonton.

Extraordinary scenery and wildlife

One highlight of this cruise is the extraordinary beauty of the landscapes we pass and the wildlife they support. Spot Arctic animals and birdlife in their natural habitat, such as polar bears, musk oxen, caribou, ringed seals, and maybe even minke and humpback whales in the seas. Don’t forget to scan the skies above for birds, such as glaucous gulls and black guillemots.
