    • Nuuk, Greenland
    Fly from New York to Nuuk, Greenland's colorful and compact capital with a population of fewer than 20,000. Located just 150 miles from the Arctic Circle, this picturesque city is a striking mix of old and modern buildings, set against a backdrop of the mountainous peaks Quassussuaq and Ukkusissat. Your expedition ship awaits you in the harbor. After being welcomed aboard and collecting your complimentary expedition jacket, it's time to settle into your cabin before enjoying your first dinner onboard. ...

    Crossing the Arctic Circle. Sailing towards the Arctic Circle, your Expedition Team will brief you on the AECO rules and recommendations regarding visiting the Arctic region safely and responsibly. Make sure you attend these mandatory presentations if you want to join planned landings as we head north. You can also enjoy the state-of-the-art ship facilities and join the first lectures on Arctic Canada-related topics such as ornithology, geopolitics, and culture. You'll also learn about the Citizen Science projects running onboard the ship. At some point during the sailing, we'll cross the Arctic Circle, entering the lands of the midnight Sun at the height of summer. ...

    • Cruising Sam Ford Fjord, Canada
    • Gibbs Fjord, Canada
    • Coutts Inlet, Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada
    The shores of Baffin Island (Qikiqtaaluk) are guarded by ice for most of the year. In August, the ice begins to recede, allowing ships to navigate these waters for just a short period of time. The sea ice environment around the island is a natural wonder that creates a rich habitat for wildlife. Our objective is to reach the small settlement of Qikiqtarjuaq, where we hope to begin our adventures in Arctic Canada. In true explorer style, our route will be determined by the presence and concentration of sea ice. We will plan our excursions and landing sites in consultation with local communities, so as not to disrupt their seasonal activities. Possible destinations include: Isabella Bay (Ninginganiq): Ninginganiq (Isabella Bay) National Wildlife Area is a critical habitat for Arctic wildlife, most notably bowhead whales. As a summer feeding ground for these massive marine mammals, it's a crucial area for their conservation. Sam Ford Fjord (Kangiqtualuk Uqquqti) and Gibbs Fjord: With towering peaks and epic glaciers, these fjords are renowned for their impressive scenery and are popular with nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. This area is rich in wildlife, with marine mammals like seals and whales, and a variety of bird species. Coutts Inlet (Inalugaarjuup Kangiqlua): Experience the solitude and serenity of this remote and seldom-visited wilderness. The 50-mile-deep fjord system contains two arms: the "North Arm" and the main inlet itself. One of the Arctic's most elusive species, the narwhal, can be found here. ...

Days at sea are the perfect time to relax onboard, perhaps chatting with new friends in the Expedition Lounge & Bar, catching up on any lectures you may have missed, and enjoying leisurely lunches. If you haven't tried the hot tubs yet, now's your chance. ...

    Coburg Island, Canada
    • Coburg Island, Canada
    Welcome to Lancaster Sound (Tallurutiup Imanga), the gateway to the Northwest Passage. This breathtaking sound is home to incredible scenery, iconic Arctic wildlife, and colorful Inuit communities. We plan to sail deep into the sound, and over the course of three days in the area, our possible exploration sites include: Dundas Harbour: This historic and scenic site is on the southern shores of Devon Island. The harbor is a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) post, and it was also a base for scientific research and exploration. It's a great spot for a hike, and musk oxen are frequently seen along the peninsula. Beechey Island (Iluvilik): This site holds a significant place in the history of Arctic exploration, as it is known particularly for the ill-fated Franklin expedition in the mid-19th century. The island is home to several well-preserved grave sites of expedition members and a monument commemorating Arctic exploration efforts. Croker Bay: A picturesque bay on the south coast of Devon Island. With two large outlet glaciers streaming down from the island's ice cap, this is an excellent place for small boat cruising. You may even spot walruses lounging around the calved ice floes. Coburg Island (Nirjutiqarvik): This island is a protected National Wildlife Area, and it lives up to its Inuktitut name, Nirjutiqarvik, meaning "The Place of Animals". The island is renowned for its significant seabird colonies, including large populations of thick-billed murres and northern fulmars, and it's an important feeding ground for marine mammals. ...

    • Thule, Greenland
    Explore life at the edge of the world. "Ultima Thule" was the term used in the 4th century BC by the Greek explorer Pytheas to describe a mythical land in the far north. Nobody knows for sure which land Pytheas had in mind when he coined this name, but for some, it has come to refer to the far north in Greenland. As we explore here, expect wild beauty at the edge of the inhabitable world. Extreme climatic conditions all year round guarantee isolation and tough living conditions for the inhabitants and, even by Arctic standards, the Thule region is harsh and remote. And yet, this was the first region in Greenland ever to be colonized by the forerunners of the Inuit, somewhere around 4,500 years ago. How they managed to survive and thrive in that environment still puzzles Arctic archeologists. The abundant bird and animal life provides sustenance, and the traditional hunting culture has survived better here than elsewhere in Greenland. The polar travel know-how of the locals has been highly sought after on European and American expeditions, either as guides or saviors. In fact, thanks to its position, the region has been the natural starting point for many travelers heading towards the North Pole. While always adapting our program to the changing weather and ice conditions, we will spend the next few days exploring the region. We aim to visit some of the local communities, land with expedition boats to marvel at the power of nature, sail through icy channels and-with a bit of luck-spot some of the giants of the Arctic, including walruses, orcas, narwhals, belugas, and perhaps even polar bears. ...

    • Melville Bay, Greenland
    Relax and learn at sea. We'll spend the day on the open seas crossing Melville Bay. This is a huge bay bordering the icy coast of Lauge Koch, where the ice caps meet the sea. Known by the locals as Qimusseriarsuaq, meaning "The Great Dog Sledding Place", the bay was renamed by British explorers after Robert Dundas, 2nd Viscount Melville, in the mid-19th century. Enjoy your day as we sail well beyond 70 degrees north. Relax onboard, join in with wildlife watches out on deck with the Expedition Team, and learn more about the Arctic with the ongoing series of lectures on topics such as nature, geology, and mythology. ...

    • Jakobshavn, Greenland
    The final chapter of our epic voyage around Baffin Bay takes us to an area of extreme natural beauty: the fjords of West Greenland and Disko Bay. Known as the "iceberg factory of the Arctic", this area produces the most ice of anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. As always, nature is in charge and our exact route will depend on the weather and ice conditions on the day. Possible landing sites include: Uummannaq Fjord: In Greenland's far north, the beauty of the land and the relative productivity of the environment have attracted people here for thousands of years. Intriguing archaeological sites are silent witnesses to the ability of Arctic people to thrive in such a harsh environment. We may visit the community of Uummannaq-a beautiful island town with a heart-shaped mountain-or the archaeological site of Qilakitsoq, where the famed Greenland mummies were discovered. Vaigat Sound: Also called Sullorsuaq Strait, this beautiful waterway sits between two rugged land masses at the north end of Disko Bay. Depending on the weather and wildlife conditions, we might use our small expedition boats to land on a beach or perhaps get up close to a glacier. Have your binoculars and camera ready, as wildlife sightings in this region can include humpbacks, orcas, and bowhead whales, as well as several types of seals. UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ilulissat Icefjord: This spectacular UNESCO site regularly tops the list of things to see and do in Greenland. Marvel at giant icebergs floating placidly in the deep blue water as they take on different hues of white, gray and blue. All photographers, regardless of skill, will return to the ship with enviable images. Visit the Icefjord Centre in Ilulissat to learn more about the ice in this fascinating area, and take a hike to Sermermiut to drink in the incredible views. ...
