Northwest Passage - In the Footsteps of Franklin 17 days
Aboard: Ocean Adventurer
Cruising through the maze-like, icy channels of the legendary Northwest Passage is like sailing deep into the history of the High Arctic. On this immersive 17-day expedition through the fabled sea route, you’ll explore the same landscapes and waters that have enchanted adventurers and explorers for hundreds of years, tracing their footsteps. Pay your respects at the final resting place of three of Sir John Franklin’s lost crew. Visit traditional Inuit communities, and learn about ancient cultures at remote historical sites and more recent whaling activities. Look out for whales, polar bears, birds and other wildlife from on board ship and whilst out in Zodiacs, kayaking or out walking. An unforgettable adventure.
