Breathtaking beauty of Arctic Canada

Our 25-day voyage takes us ‘above’ the North American continent to the frozen Far North. In Eastern Arctic Canada, specifically the waterways around Lancaster Sound, you’ll experience a pristine and remote wilderness that shows off nature’s raw beauty. As we pass into the Western Arctic, the region is marked by its proximity to Alaska. Look out for wildlife as we sail through the famed Beaufort Sea and Bering Strait, before ending our cruise in Alaska and flying to Seattle in the US Pacific Northwest.
