Northwest Passage - the Northern Lights


Cruise overview
The labyrinthine channels of the legendary Northwest Passage have enchanted explorers and adventurers for centuries. Get a glimpse into the world that captivated early explorers such as Franklin, Amundsen, and Larsen, by exploring a portion of the fabled Northwest Passage. Visit the final resting places of some of the legendary explorers who ventured here and experience the archipelago of islands and channels that make up Canada’s High Arctic region. Learn about the region’s ancient history and culture from the locals who, along with their ancestors, have thrived in this remote wilderness homeland for millennia. Watch for enigmatic Arctic wildlife as we navigate variable sea ice that once prevented ships from traversing the Northwest Passage, adding a compelling element of adventure, integral to any genuine expedition. As the darker nights return, there is also the chance to witness the ethereal beauty of the northern lights dancing across the Arctic sky, a truly unforgettable highlight of this special voyage.
