The exclusive offers have been released by Australia’s leading small ship specialist, Cruise Traveller, in partnership with expedition line, Adventure Canada.
Two journeys are available in August, 2023, between Greenland and the remote, icy wilderness of Canada, revealing the Arctic’s stunning icebergs, fjords, glaciers, Inuit communities, polar bears, seabirds and whales.
Linking the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the Northwest Passage is only navigable by ships for a few weeks a year after the peak of summer. Many 19th century European explorers tried to traverse the passage as a possible trade route to Asia, often with journeys ending in disaster. Today, the Northwest Passage is accessible by ice-strengthened expedition ships – but the icy waters still retain their mystic charm.
Guests will travel onboard Adventure Canada’s 198-passenger Ocean Endeavour and enjoy daily Zodiac shore visits and excursions which will take them close to wildlife and provide an immersive insight into the traditional Inuit culture—including a visit to Canada’s northernmost communities. During the journey, expedition staff from Adventure Canada will help spot polar bears, walrus, muskox, whales, seals and other wildlife while maintaining passenger safety at all times. There will also be opportunities for hiking, photography, birding and for exploring archaeological sites as well as keeping an eye for the famous Northern Lights on the late August departure which ventures further north.
Other highlights of the cruises include crossing the Arctic Circle, cruising along the icebergs at Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland, visiting the historic remnants of the Franklin Expedition, seeing polar bears, walrus, muskox, seabirds, seals and whales in their natural habitats, and visiting Devon Island which, at over 50,000 square kilometres, is the largest uninhabited island on earth, and home to many geological and natural features.
