Aboard: Akademik Ioffe
This iconic voyage explores the remote Northwest Passage and stunning fjords of the Baffin Island coastline. We follow in the footsteps of the early Arctic explorers such as Franklin, Amundsen and Larsen, exploring the archipelago of islands and channels that create Canada's high Arctic region. This is the home of the polar bear, the grizzly bear, musk ox, caribou and walrus and we journey through the wild Canadian north.
