    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. On landings and shore excursions, explore the national parks of the Pacific coast before taking in the warm seas and vibrant cultures of Mexico and Central America. In South America, visit ancient sites in Ecuador, Peru, and Chile before witnessing the ethereal splendor of the Chilean fjords and Patagonia. End your expedition in otherworldly style by spending four days in the pristine beauty of Antarctica before returning to Ushuaia in Argentina.
