Small-Ship and Expedition Cruises: Northwest Passage

Enjoy an extraordinary journey through the legendary Arctic waterway, the Northwest Passage, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Once an elusive route sought by explorers, the passage now offers adventurous travellers the chance to navigate remote fjords, towering glaciers, and ice-covered seas.

Expedition cruises explore historic sites linked to famous explorers like Franklin’s lost expedition. They also visit Inuit communities where travellers can learn about Arctic traditions and survival skills. Wildlife sightings may include polar bears, walruses, narwhals, beluga whales, and Arctic foxes. Ice-strengthened ships and guided zodiac excursions allow close encounters with icebergs and breathtaking landscapes.

These cruises typically operate in late summer when sea ice recedes, revealing hidden waterways and untouched wilderness with 24-hour daylight in the early season and the chance to see the Northern Lights later.
