Voyage Overview

21-day all-inclusive Arctic Canada cruise round-trip from Reykjavik

Voyage Highlights

A circle through the High Arctic

A full circumnavigation of Baffin Island, tracing one of the most complex and varied Arctic cruising routes in the transitional late-summer season. From Greenland into the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and back again, the voyage threads deep fjords, narrow channels, and regions where sea ice is constantly shifting.

A voyage of ice, culture and connection

Baffin is the largest island in Canada, defined by dramatic geography: deep glacier-carved fjords, ice caps, and some of the steepest cliffs on Earth. We’ll learn of the long history of Thule culture and present-day Inuit communities, visit small settlements with local Cultural Ambassadors, and enjoy adventures on Zodiacs, shore landings, hikes, and more.
