Explore the High Arctic of Canada along the rarely-seen eastern coastline of Ellesmere Island and Greenland, a region of towering mountains, glaciers, icebergs and protected fjords surrounded by dense pack ice. On this unique voyage, made possible only by our polar-class icebreaker, equipped with Zodiacs and helicopters for exploration, you’ll call at some of the world’s northernmost communities and explore 4,000-year-old archaeological sites.

This is the land of the Inuit explored by Sir John Franklin, Robert Peary, Otto Sverdrup, Roald Amundsen and Adolphus Greely. See thousands of seabirds nesting in the rugged cliffs dropping to fish in the ocean below. We also keep a watch for whales, polar bears, musk ox, Arctic hare, many different species of seabirds and the massive, but elusive, walrus that inhabit this icy paradise.
