Sail along the top of the world

The Northwest Passage has long captured explorers’ imaginations, threading through ice-choked seas and remote Arctic archipelagos. This voyage celebrates the legacy of explorers like Sir John Franklin and Roald Amundsen, as we sail from the Canadian Arctic towards Greenland, through Baffin Island and other iconic regions at the top of the planet.

A historic voyage

This is a route shaped first by indigenous knowledge, rooted in the remarkable migration of the Thule people, ancestors of today’s Inuit, who travelled eastward from the Alaska, all the way across the Arctic through Canada and Greenland over centuries. You’ll learn about the histories that shaped life in this region and visit communities living in some of Earth’s most extreme environments. All experiences are led by our Cultural Ambassadors, the local experts who know this region best.
