HIGHLIGHTS
From pole to pole on an epic expedition of discovery
You’ll begin your 93-day expedition cruise in Reykjavik and sail across the Denmark Strait to Greenland. Then, you navigate the fabled Northwest Passage to the Canadian Arctic and Alaska. We’ll land at sites linked to early exploration history, visit Inuit communities and look out for Arctic wildlife, including seabirds, seals, whales, and polar bears.
We then turn south and cruise along the western seaboard of the United States.
