Into the Northwest Passage | 17 days
We start with a monumental voyage along one of Greenland’s longest fjords, 168km out to Davis Strait as we cross into the Arctic Circle. Turning the corner, the ship heads north, with stops along the Sisimiut coast, and at Ilulissat where we marvel at the vast ice fields. At Karat Fjord, we’ll hike through the tundra, and after Upernavik cross the Davis Strait to Nunavut. From here we sail into the famed Northwest Passage, looking for narwhal and bowhead whales before landing on Devon Island and Beechey Island to visit the chilling site of the lost Franklin Expedition. Finally we enter Bellot Strait and Queen Maud Gulf, before arriving in Kugluktuk.

Clients’ comments
“Thank you for your welcome home. The holiday was absolutely brilliant. I have been expedition cruising since 1992 and this was the BEST of them all. The staff were so careful, watchful and caring. They were always available and collectively so funny. It was just great. Now, so was all your organising – thank you for all your help.”
Margaret Dykes, Into the Northwest Passage, August 2011
