25‑day all‑inclusive Northwest Passage Expedition Cruise from Seattle to New York
Sail through one of the world’s most legendary routes, tracing the Northwest Passage and the fjords of Baffin Island in one epic voyage.
The rare chance to visit remote Inuit communities including Ulukhaktok, Gjoa Haven, Cambridge Bay, and Pond Inlet, with expedition experiences created by local residents.
Gain insight throughout the journey from our onboard Cultural Ambassadors, who share stories of Inuit heritage, language, and Arctic life.
Sail along the top of the world
The Northwest Passage has long captured explorers’ imaginations, threading through ice-choked seas and remote Arctic archipelagos. This voyage celebrates the legacy of explorers like Sir John Franklin and Roald Amundsen, as we sail from the Canadian Arctic towards Greenland, through Baffin Island and other iconic regions at the top of the planet.
A historic voyage
This is a route shaped first by indigenous knowledge, rooted in the remarkable migration of the Thule people, ancestors of today’s Inuit, who travelled eastward from the Alaska, all the way across the Arctic through Canada and Greenland over centuries. You’ll learn about the histories that shaped life in this region and visit communities living in some of Earth’s most extreme environments. All experiences are led by our Cultural Ambassadors, the local experts who know this region best.
