Aboard: Ocean Adventurer
Set sail for this exhilarating expedition through the maze-like, icy channels of the legendary Northwest Passage for 17 days of true adventure. Immerse yourself deep into the history of the high Arctic as you set sail from Kangerlussuaq and traverse through the fabled waterways towards Resolute in Canada. Follow in the footsteps of legends as you explore the landscapes that have enchanted adventurers for hundreds of years and pay your respects at the final resting place of three of Sir John Franklin’s lost crew. Throughout your expedition you will be on the lookout for whales, polar bears, birds and other wildlife, be it from the comfort of the ship’s deck, whilst enjoying zodiac excursions, or during hiking and kayaking trips. You will also have the opportunity to visit traditional Inuit communities, and learn about ancient cultures at remote historical sites.
