    In the wake of the Vikings. We sail to Greenland across the Denmark Strait, the route taken by Erik the Red, supposedly the first European to have settled there.

Your Expedition Team will explain the protocols of respectfully visiting wildlife habitats and indigenous Arctic communities. In the Science Center, learn more about Greenland's geology, or join one of our Citizen Science projects.

    Breathtaking panoramas and abundant wildlife. We aim to explore the incredible waters of Prince Christian Sound, stretching 60 miles long. Sharp-peaked granite mountains provide a stunning contrast to the bright white glaciers. Look out for calving icebergs and colorful houses in the village of Aappilattoq. Nature is abundant here. Keep an eye out for ringed and bearded seals resting on the ice and glaucous gulls and black guillemots soaring above. You may even spot minke and humpback whales. If sea ice prevents us from entering the sound, we'll head to the jagged Cape Farewell, the southernmost point of Greenland. ...

    Discover the glacial beauty of the west coast fjords. Experience the sublime fjords of Greenland's west coast as we reach Kvanefjord. Have your camera ready for glistening icebergs and semi-submerged glacial ice, which is pure white with undertones of crystalline blue. These sculpted ice blocks are some of Arctic nature's finest creations. Few people venture into this remote fjord, making it even more special to spend the day exploring here. The Expedition Team will select places to venture ashore, where you will enjoy beautiful scenery on a nature walk. You could also head out in boats to scout for wildlife. ...

If you're looking for a special souvenir, pick up a scarf, hat, or mittens made of qiviut, the inner wool of a musk ox, said to be ten times warmer than sheep wool. Why not explore the area by foot and stretch your legs on a hike? ...

    • Cruising the Northwest Passage
    Navigate a historical sea corridor through Canada's Arctic archipelago. Like the pioneering explorers before you, we won't have an exact itinerary as we attempt to sail our state-of-the-art ice-class ship from the Atlantic to the Pacific via this famed sea route. Stops might include Pond Inlet, Dundas Harbor, Fort Ross, Gjoa Haven, Cambridge Bay, and Smoking Hills. As we explore, we'll land at sites linked to early exploration history, visit Inuit communities, and look out for Arctic wildlife such as polar bears, whales, narwhals, seals, and seabirds. You'll go cruising on small boats (RIBs) between ice floes and go ashore to experience the pristine wilderness first hand. Your Expedition Team will adapt activities to ice and weather conditions, giving you the best experience possible. We'll try to reach Pond Inlet and the Inuit community of Mittimatalik on Baffin Island. On Devon Island, the largest uninhabited island on Earth, we hope to visit Dundas Harbor and learn about its Thule heritage. We may stop at Beechey Island and pay our respects at the graves of three Franklin expedition team members. We will continue west to Fort Ross, a former Hudson's Bay Company trading post, before sailing to Gjoa Haven, where Roald Amundsen learned polar survival tips from the Netsilik Inuit people. If we are able to land here, we'll take a walking tour to learn more. ...
