Cruise Overview

Follow in the footsteps of legendary explorers

This expedition cruise sails from Iceland to Greenland’s southern coast before making an attempt to sail through the legendary Northwest Passage.

27-day Northwest Passage expedition cruise, attempting to follow this epic route from Iceland and Greenland to Nome, Alaska, and onto Vancouver

From Iceland to Greenland

Your adventure begins in Reykjavík before sailing the Denmark Strait to Prince Christian Sound, a spectacular granite maze of channels. You’ll then reach the remarkable fjords and settlements of southern Greenland and the capital, Nuuk.

Into the Northwest Passage

We will sail across the Davis Strait, exploring the islands that dot this fabled route. Continuing west through the Amundsen Gulf and Beaufort Sea, we’ll head for the Pacific Ocean through the Bering Strait. Our final port of call is gold-rich Nome, where Roald Amundsen completed three of his great expeditions.
