Complete Northwest Passage

Embarking on an epic voyage inspired by Roald Amundsen's historic expedition, we aim to traverse the full Northwest Passage, navigating through the intricate waterways along the Arctic islands of Canada to reach the Beaufort Sea. This challenging journey includes visits to historical sites, encounters with the resilient locals, and the search for elusive wildlife. The unpredictable pack ice adds an element of genuine expedition, emphasizing the adventurous spirit of the voyage. The itinerary is a flexible guide subject to change based on weather, sea conditions, and other factors. Additionally, the trip includes visits to remote Inuit communities, where traditional hunting practices, including whaling, may be observed, potentially causing discomfort. Passengers are encouraged to communicate any concerns to the expedition team for appropriate action.
