Cruise Overview

Arctic Canada and Greenland Expedition—Circumnavigating Baffin Bay

Enjoy the best of the western Arctic as you circumnavigate the icy waters of Baffin Bay, exploring Baffin Island, Devon Island, Northwest Greenland and Disko Bay. 

Visit remote settlements in Arctic Canada and Greenland to learn about life in the far north, and discover incredible landscapes and Arctic wildlife. 

Experience the renowned Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area and UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord aboard purpose-built MS Roald Amundsen.

Four iconic Arctic regions 

After a flight from Reykjavík, your voyage of discovery begins in Nuuk. On this all-encompassing expedition cruise, you’ll discover the wonders of four Arctic regions: the jagged east coast of Baffin Island, the azure shores of Devon Island, the spine-tingling fjords of Northwest Greenland, and the awe-inspiring Disko Bay in West Greenland.   

Life in the Far North

You’ll sail through biologically rich sea ice environments and visit remote coastal communities.  Learn about Inuit culture through firsthand experiences and search for wildlife like bowhead whales, narwhals, seabirds and elusive polar bears. On board your fully equipped vessel, you can recharge between adventures and delve into the science of the region with your Expedition Team.
