Cruise Begins

Nuuk, Greenland

Flight from New York to Nuuk. Nuuk is Greenland's colorful and compact capital. With a population of fewer than 20,000, it's a striking mix of old and modern buildings. If you're more a fan of the former, head down to the old part of town by the waterfront, where you'll find Nuuk Cathedral and the statue of Hans Egede standing on a hill. In the water below, you'll see the beautiful Mother of the Sea statue. 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 and enjoy your first dinner aboard. ...

Jakobshavn, Greenland

Discover the magical beauty of West Greenland. The first chapter of our journey encompasses the majestic coast of West Greenland. Over the next three days, you'll experience some of the most iconic sites in all of Greenland. Our objectives include the following. Evighedsfjord: As we head north, we plan to visit the magical and pristine Evighedsfjord near Maniitsoq. Each day, we'll determine which adventures we can take part in. The "Fjord of Eternity" is fed by an ice cap that calves huge icebergs into its 2,300-foot-deep waters. It's surrounded by mist-cloaked mountains with beautiful white ridges, punctuated by crystal blue ice caves. Sisimiut: Sisimiut is Greenland's second city and is situated in a spectacular location just above the Arctic Circle. This area has history spanning more than 4,500 years, and old traditions are alive and well. Learn more about ancient Saqqaq artifacts in the local museum, or stretch your legs on a hike. If you're looking for a special souvenir, pick up a scarf, hat or mittens made of qiviut, the inner wool of the musk ox that's said to be ten times warmer than sheep's wool. Ilulissat: Nestled at the edge of the magnificent Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is Ilulissat. Here you'll find an ever-changing gallery of passing icebergs set against a backdrop of colorful houses. In town you can visit a multitude of shops selling local crafts, and on the outskirts walking trails take you along the epic icefjord. ...

Baffin Island, Canada

Watch for wildlife and get involved in Citizen Science. Leaving Greenland behind, we spend two days at sea crossing Baffin Bay towards Nunavut. Gain authentic insight into Inuit culture and heritage with the onboard cultural ambassadors. Their stories reveal the Inuit people's profound connection to the land, shaped by generations of tradition and resilience. Meanwhile, your Expedition Team leads lectures on topics such as Arctic wildlife and the history of exploration in the region. You can also take part in Citizen Science, such as the GLOBE Program, where you'll observe clouds to help scientists study our climate. ...

Fort Ross, Canada

Following our crossing of Baffin Bay, we find ourselves in the Eastern Canadian Arctic. The main waterway of this area is Lancaster Sound (Tallurutiup Imanga), the eastern gates to the Northwest Passage. This chapter of our exploration is likely to be action-packed, with excursions planned on each of the four days we hope to spend in and around this area. Remember: all our excursion plans depend on the weather and ice but, conditions permitting, our days will be filled with excitement and discovery. Excursion stops and local highlights we hope to experience include: Pond Inlet (Mittimatalik), Dundas Harbour, Croker Bay, Beechey Island (Iluvilik), Prince Leopold Island (Appait), Fort Ross. ...

Cruising Bellot Strait, Canada

Navigate the dividing line between east and west. The "Rubicon" of the Canadian Arctic, dividing east from west, is the infamous Bellot Strait. This narrow body of water separates the northernmost part of mainland North America from Somerset Island, one of the largest islands in the Canadian Arctic archipelago. Bellot Strait is approximately 15 nautical miles long and just over half a mile wide at its narrowest point. Our ability to navigate this passage will be determined by ice and weather conditions. ...

Cruising the Bering Strait

Science and wildlife watching at sea. As we navigate the Beaufort Sea and Bering Strait, these days at sea provide the perfect opportunity to reflect on your journey and make the most of your ship's facilities. Immerse yourself in the onboard Science and Education program and contribute to real-world research through Citizen Science. Or simply take time to relax - enjoy a drink with fellow explorers, watch the world drift by from the hot tub, or soothe your body and mind in the sauna. Keep an eye out for bowhead and grey whales as we cross the Beaufort Sea to Point Barrow, the northernmost point of the United States. If sea ice is present, we may also see congregations of Pacific walrus on the ice floes. In the Beaufort Sea, seasonal sea ice can fluctuate. If the sea ice levels are greater than the seasonal average, it will likely affect the speed we can sail through. Expecting the unexpected is all part of the expedition experience. The highlights of this transit include: Beaufort Sea, Bering Strait, The International Date Line, Wildlife watching. ...

Seattle, United States

Learn about Alaska's "golden" past. Prospectors first came to Nome in 1898, and people still hunt for gold here today. You'll see evidence of the Gold Rush era all around, including abandoned dredges, turn-of-the century steam engines, and old railroad tracks, lending the town a unique and intriguing atmosphere. Wyatt Earp, the famous sheriff, opened a saloon here. Nome was also the end point of three of Roald Amundsen's great polar expeditions. From here, you'll take a flight to Seattle for an overnight stay. ...
