Northwest Passage Cruises
The enigmatic Northwest Passage is a route from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. A cruise through this passage is a chance to follow in the footsteps of legendary explorers such as Henry Hudson, Sir John Franklin, and Roald Amundsen. You’ll also get a chance to see Inuit culture, ancient Thule settlements, and the beauty of the High Arctic landscape. While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, this is an area of the Arctic where one can potentially spot the elusive Narwhal. It is also possible to see polar bear, walrus, bowhead whales, beluga whales, and musk ox. Baffin Island is one of the few places on Earth where you can see polar bears, black bears, and brown bears in one place. These are generally longer itineraries of 18 – 25 days in length and will often begin and end in Toronto or Calgary, with some longer itineraries ending in Nome, Alaska.
