Canadian Arctic Cruises
The Canadian Arctic Archipelago, situated in the northern extremity of North America, covers about 1,424,500 km² and represents one of the wildest places on earth. Extending some 2,400 km from West to East and 1,900 km from the mainland to Cape Columbia, the northernmost point on Ellesmere Island, it is bounded on the west by the Beaufort Sea; on the north by the Arctic Ocean; on the east by Greenland, Baffin Bay and Davis Strait.
Despite its seemingly barren environment, the area harbours a rich variety of wildlife, where Killer whales and narwhals swim the cold oceans, whilst walrus, arctic fox and polar bears rule the frozen lands. This is a truly wild region and spending time in the Arctic region is to visit one of the most fascinating and mysterious regions on the planet.
Acknowledged as one of the world's great historical sea journeys, follow in the footsteps of the early explorers as you traverse the ice-choked waterways of the once long sought after Northwest Passage. Voyages that incorporate Baffin and Ellesmere Islands are also available. Limited departures in July and August only.
