This extraordinary journey is inspired by Roald Amundsen's historic expedition. It also aims to navigate the entire length of the legendary Northwest Passage. Your ambitious course takes you westward through a labyrinthine network of waterways that winds around the legendary islands of the Canadian Arctic until your ship finally reaches the Beaufort Sea.

Starting from the classic Northwest Passage route, you will visit historic sites closely linked to the heroic discoveries of early polar explorers.  You will experience impressive geological formations with table mountains and ice age valleys. Get to know the Inuit, whose ancient traditions remain alive in the midst of this majestic nature, and encounter fascinating animals such as polar bears, musk oxen, arctic foxes, various whale species, and a rich variety of bird life.

For centuries, sailors searched for a faster connection between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Until the 20th century, however, they had no choice but to take the long and dangerous detour around Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America. But the sighting of whales in the Pacific that had been spotted in the Atlantic shortly before left no doubt: there had to be a more direct route. After many failed and often tragic expeditions, the first successful breakthrough finally came in 1906.

To this day, the legendary Northwest Passage continues to awaken the pioneering spirit and inspire explorers and adventurers. On your journey, you will follow in the footsteps of the famous polar explorer Roald Amundsen, who sailed across the Arctic Ocean in search of a route from Europe to East Asia.

The route is determined by the interplay of weather and ice, and pack ice could make passage through the strait difficult. So get ready for an unforgettable voyage with last-minute changes of course and a distinctly expeditionary character. A new discovery awaits around every bend.

For a particularly intense Arctic experience, take part in the optional sea kayaking program (additional cost, limited places). Gliding through the polar sea past ice floes and gigantic icebergs, and with a little luck getting incredibly close to Arctic wildlife, are experiences that will touch your heart deeply every single time and leave you feeling humbled as you return to the ship.

It is not only the experiences on board, Zodiac excursions, and landings with shorter and longer hikes that make this expedition to the High Arctic an unforgettable experience. You will also be accompanied by a team of renowned scientists and experienced expedition leaders, so that you will not only gather visual impressions of Arctic nature and wildlife, but also take home valuable knowledge about history, geology, and ecology.

itinerary

Advance information
Your arrival in Toronto and departure from Anchorage are not included in your tour price.

Since our customers all have individual wishes for their trip, we are happy to book flights separately. Of course, the flights then become part of a secure package tour. We recommend an overnight stay in Toronto to cushion any irregularities with your flight or lost luggage. We are happy to organize everything for you on request. Please contact us.

Toronto
Day 1: Toronto

After arriving at Toronto Airport, please check in at the nearby Westin Toronto Airport Hotel for your pre-night stay. Visit the information desk there to pick up your cabin luggage tags and speak to the team on site. They will provide you with all the important information you need about the procedures before embarkation and the charter flight to Nuuk tomorrow.

Day 2: Charter flight to Nuuk & embarkation

After breakfast at the hotel, you will board your charter flight to Nuuk, Greenland. The expedition ship, the Sylvia Earle, will be waiting for you there. After embarking, you will have time to settle into your cabin before the important safety briefing takes place.

In the evening, you will meet your expedition leader and crew over a welcome drink with the captain.

Day 3: Sisimiut

Sisimiut, Greenland's second largest city, is located about 54 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. This means that visitors can experience the impressive midnight sun here in summer.

The village is famous, among other things, for its historic blue church with a door made of walrus bone. Right next door is a lovingly designed museum where you can visit a superbly reconstructed Inuit turf hut and see fascinating exhibitions on local history and early life in Greenland.

The area around Sisimiut is ideal for hikes of varying degrees of difficulty. Easier routes lead through the town and into the surrounding mountains to viewpoints that are well worth the effort.

Around 4,500 years ago, the Saqqaq people from what is now Canada reached the region and settled here for around 2,000 years before disappearing again for unknown reasons. Around 500 AD, the Dorset people followed, living in the area until the 13th century. They were succeeded by the Thule culture, from which most of Sisimiut's current population descends.

Day 4: Ilulissat

In the afternoon, you will reach Ilulissat – the "birthplace of icebergs."

This region is known for some of the most spectacular icebergs in the entire Arctic. On a hike, where you will also encounter the sled dogs typical of the Arctic, you will reach the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This place is truly impressive in size and beauty.

The Sermeq Kujalleq glacier—also known as the Jakobshavn Glacier—is the most productive glacier in the entire northern hemisphere. Every day, around 20 million tons of ice calve here, drifting across the ice fjord into Disko Bay.

Days 5 to 7: Discoveries in northwestern Greenland

Discover the northern regions of West Greenland, an area known for its traditional settlements and huge icebergs.

Depending on weather and ice conditions, you can expect a variety of activities: exciting trips on the Zodiac, hikes on land, and visits to one of the small remote communities along the coast.

Kayakers have the opportunity to paddle among the icebergs —perhaps even catching a glimpse of the whales that are often found in these waters.

Day 8: At sea

On this relaxing day at sea, you will have plenty of time to enjoy exciting lectures by our team of experts on wildlife, geology, and the legendary stories of early explorers such as Franklin and Amundsen.

Day 9: Pond Inlet (Mittimatalik), Nunavut, Canada

After completing the entry formalities for Canada, a visit to Pond Inlet (Mittimatalik) is planned.

The Inuit community at the northern tip of Baffin Island is surrounded by imposing snow-capped mountains, mighty glaciers, and pristine fjords, placing it far away from civilization.

Upon arrival on land, you will be welcomed with the warm hospitality of the Inuit, whose deep connection to nature is reflected in their culture and way of life.

Look forward to authentic encounters with ancient Inuit traditions and gain valuable insights into everyday life in the seemingly hostile Arctic.

Days 10 to 12: Devon Island (Tallurutit), Lancaster Sound 

At almost 75° north latitude, you are now in the High Arctic. Here, nutrient-rich waters provide an impressive diversity of species. This region is therefore often referred to as the "wildlife superhighway" of the Arctic.

Devon Island (Tallurutit) is the largest uninhabited island on Earth and captivates visitors with its extraordinary geology: table mountains and glacial valleys give it a unique character. A visit to Dundas Harbor is planned, where walks across the hilly tundra may provide opportunities for bird watching.

The remains of a dilapidated Royal Canadian Mounted Police outpost and relics of a Hudson's Bay Company trading post can also be found here. Walruses can often be seen in the bay. Other possible destinations for exploration include Croker Bay and Maxwell Bay.

Beechey Island (Iluvilik) is located at the western end of Devon Island, where another landing is planned. The island is named after Frederick William Beechey and designated a National Historic Site: During the Franklin Expedition of 1845–46, Franklin attempted to traverse the Northwest Passage with the ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror – with tragic results. Three of his men were buried on Beechey Island. Roald Amundsen landed on this island in 1903 during the first successful complete crossing of the Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 

Just a short distance away, Radstock Bay offers a fascinating contrast to the open sea. Here, you can take a Zodiac to a beach where you will find numerous traces of times gone by. Explore the ruins of a Thule village beneath the imposing Caswell Tower, where well-preserved stone houses stand alongside artifacts from later explorers.

Experience the impressive beauty of this secluded bay with its dramatic cliffs, pebble beaches, and the occasional whale bone.

Days 13 to 17: Exploring the Canadian Arctic

Your itinerary for the coming days is heavily dependent on weather conditions and unpredictable sea ice. If conditions allow, you are expected to reach the following locations:

Prince Leopold Island (Appait)

On the south side of Lancaster Sound, opposite Beechey Island, rise the impressive bird cliffs of Prince Leopold Island (Appait). This historic site was the winter quarters of English explorer James Clark Ross in 1848 during his search for the lost Franklin Expedition. Prince Leopold Island is the most important bird sanctuary in the Canadian Arctic, with around 500,000 breeding birds in summer. Ringed seals are often spotted on the sea ice around the island, and polar bears can also frequently be seen nearby.

Port Leopold

Port Leopold, a barren windswept bay on the northeastern corner of Somerset Island (Inuktitut Kuuganajuk), is rich in history. It was here that the crews of HMS Enterprise and Investigator were forced to spend a harsh winter while searching for the lost Franklin expedition. Their traces are engraved on a rock marked with "1849" and the initials of the ships.

The lonely landscape is dominated by an abandoned Hudson's Bay Company hut from the 1920s. While hiking, you will have the opportunity to explore the coast, visit the historic Hudson's Bay Company building, and discover fascinating Inuit archaeological sites. The expedition team will provide you with interesting information about the surreal landscape formed by the region's repeated freeze-thaw cycles. A cairn marks the spot where Ross's rescue expedition left vital supplies.

Hazard Inlet (Qariaraajuk)

Here, you will hopefully visit an Inuit site that was inhabited by bowhead whale hunters in the 15th and 16th centuries. The remains of over 100 bowhead whales are scattered across the village and the beach.

Excavations have uncovered around 20 turf houses, although the settlement was probably much larger. The rock face behind the settlement contains communal graves, while storage facilities and stands for kayaks and umiaks can be seen along the coast.

This remarkable place offers a moving insight into the lives of Inuit families who hunted Greenland whales as a close-knit community to obtain food and building materials. It is a real privilege to experience this remote piece of history up close.

Zenith Point

Point Zenith, a rocky headland jutting far out into the sea, offers breathtaking panoramic views. When you go ashore here, you will probably feel completely isolated and deeply awestruck. This place seems to stand still. Only the wind and the crunching sound under your boots break the incredible silence.

King William Island (Qikiqtaq)

Remains from the Franklin expedition have been found at 35 different locations on King William Island (Qikiqtaq) and the nearby Adelaide Peninsula. South of Cape Felix, in Victoria Strait, you will likely travel by Zodiac close to the sites where the wrecks of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were discovered in 2014 and 2016, respectively.

Cambridge Bay (Iqaluktuuttiaq)

As the administrative and transportation hub of the region, Cambridge Bay (Iqaluktuuttiaq) is the main port of call for passenger and research vessels crossing the Northwest Passage. It is also unofficially considered the geographical center of the passage.

On a Zodiac shore excursion, you will likely explore this Inuit settlement in the High Arctic. Stroll through the village, visit the local church and visitor center, and support the community by purchasing local handicrafts.

Days 18 to 22: Coronation and Amundsen Gulf

Furthermore, your experienced expedition team will flexibly plan the daily program depending on weather and sea ice conditions. In addition to Franklin, other legendary explorers such as Roald Amundsen also explored this region, and you may visit the same places as these pioneers. We also hope to meet the admirably resilient people who call this remote area in the far north their home.

Below you will find a selection of possible destinations in this region:

Johansen Bay, Edinburgh Island (Egloovikan)

A Zodiac excursion is planned through the estuary at the northeastern end of Johansen Bay and upstream toward a lake. Wildlife such as caribou, reindeer, arctic foxes, snowshoe hares, and peregrine falcons can often be seen in this area.

Nearby is Edinburgh Island (Egloovikan), a small uninhabited island in the Canadian region of Nunavut. The landscape is characterized by colorful flowering shrubs, ochre-colored beaches, and impressively colored cliffs. A possible hike to a viewpoint above the lake offers spectacular views of lakes, sea, and mountains.

Port Epworth (Kugluktoalok)

The area around Tree River on the mainland—also known as Port Epworth —offers an impressive backdrop for potential explorations. The river course, shallow lakes, striking sedimentary rock formations, and the bright colors of the tundra characterize the landscape.

Stromatolites are particularly noteworthy here. These are fossilized remains of ancient algae colonies that were formed around two billion years ago by microorganisms that once initiated oxygen production on our planet.

Smoking Hills (Ingniryuat), Franklin Bay

The Smoking Hills (Ingniryuat) in Canada's Northwest Territories have been smoking and steaming for centuries, with gas-filled clouds drifting across the landscape. Objectively speaking, they are sea cliffs, but you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the middle of an apocalyptic movie scene.

The smoke is caused by underground layers of sulfur-containing brown coal (lignite) that ignite due to erosion or landslides. This releases sulfur gases that not only fill the air with haze, but also discolor the rocks.

Days 23 to 25: Through the Beaufort Sea

The excitement builds as you cross the icy waters of the Beaufort Sea. Whether on deck or in one of the cozy viewing lounges, watch as the captain safely navigates your state-of-the-art expedition ship through these waters, which are frozen for most of the year. Keep an eye out for iconic Arctic inhabitants such as beluga whales and polar bears, which are frequently sighted in this region.

As you continue westward, you will take a Zodiac excursion to Herschel Island, provided that the necessary permits have been obtained by then. This historic island was inhabited by the Thule Inuit for over a thousand years and was first mapped by Sir John Franklin in 1825. In the late 19th century, Herschel Island developed into a thriving whaling station with a winter population of several hundred people and a whole fleet of whaling ships.

With the decline of the whaling industry at the beginning of the 20th century, the island was gradually abandoned. Today, Herschel Island is protected as a territorial park and offers a fascinating insight into the history of the Arctic as well as an impressive natural backdrop.

At Prudhoe Bay, you bid farewell to Canada and enter the United States.

Days 26 to 27: Chukchi Sea & Bering Strait

They continue sailing westward to Nome – along the northern coast of Alaska to the point where the Bering Sea between the USA and Russia is only about 100 km wide. This gives them plenty of time to reflect on the experiences of the past few weeks and keep their eyes peeled for sea creatures.

Take this opportunity to select, edit, and submit photos for the onboard photo contest. You can also look forward to some final exciting presentations from your team of experts on board.

We hope to obtain permission to sail close to Point Hope, Little Diomede, and the King Islands in Alaska. These striking locations are full of natural wonders and have enormous cultural significance.

Day 28: Disembarkation in Nome & flight to Anchorage

In the early hours of the morning, you will arrive in Nome, where disembarkation will take place at around 8:00 a.m. Say goodbye to your expedition team before being transferred to the airport for your charter flight to Anchorage. There you will spend the night at the Captain Cook Hotel to conclude your expedition.

Day 29: Departure from Anchorage

Today you begin your journey home. Or would you like to round off your Arctic expedition with an additional program in Alaska or Canada? Please feel free to contact us.

The daily programs described here are for your guidance. The itinerary may vary considerably due to local ice and weather conditions, last-minute permit procedures, and local authorities, but also to respond to current conditions regarding wildlife viewing.Theexpedition leader on board will determine the final itinerary and daily program. Flexibility is of utmost importance during our expedition-style voyages. 

On this trip, you will visit remote Inuit villages and settlements where the Inuit still practice traditional hunting methods today. This includes whaling, which some people may find disturbing.

If you feel disturbed or affected by what you have seen, please contact a member of the expedition team immediately. The team will endeavor to address your concerns and, wherever possible, take appropriate measures to defuse the situation.

Kayaking: Optional activity at extra cost

One of the most exciting ways to experience the Arctic.
Sea kayaking adventures in the stunning wilderness of the Arctic are guaranteed to be an experience that touches your soul. Paddle among drift ice and icebergs of all shapes and sizes and take in the majestic landscape as it unfolds before you.

This kayaking program was developed by kayakers for kayakers!
The program style offers you the opportunity to develop your skills and network with experienced guides and your fellow travelers. Participating in a small group throughout the trip reduces unnecessary time lost to briefings and equipment trials—and maximizes your time on the water.

The professional kayak guides have led tours worldwide, specialize in the polar regions, and were selected for their passion for the sport. Kayaking is one of the best ways to experience the breathtaking coastlines up close and make the most of your time in these remote wilderness regions. You will have the opportunity to discuss your personal preferences for the tour with the guides, such as when you would like to paddle, go ashore, or combine both.

Depending on the weather, the kayaking program is usually available whenever the other expedition participants set off on excursions.

Each trip covers between 5 and 15 kilometers (approx. 2 to 4 hours) – often combining kayaking and shore excursions so that you don't miss a thing.
Each small group of up to 10 people per guide will experience hidden bays and coastal sections that are not accessible by Zodiacs. Of course, there will also be plenty of time for personal shore excursions and wildlife viewing.
Important note: Nature plays a crucial role in the sea kayaking program. Understanding weather-related changes is essential.

Equipment included

Kayak shoes (booties) and dry suits are available.

Your team of experts

Your journey will be accompanied by a team of renowned experts in history, ecology, geography, and wildlife, comprising world-leading specialists in remote regions. The scientists will enthusiastically share their findings with you both on board and on land.

Among others, the following experts could turn your journey through the Northwest Passage into an immersive experience:

Christophe Bouchoux (expedition leader)

Christophe is an experienced expedition leader and guide who has worked on expedition ships around the globe. While his peers were still in school, Christophe was already traveling and receiving his education on the road—not in mathematics or science, but through the wonders of nature. Over the course of 17 years, he traveled to iconic and remote regions of the world, gaining extensive experience in the tourism industry.

Christophe feels particularly at home in the polar regions: he spent seven winters working as a guide in Finnish Lapland and over a decade as a coach tour guide in Norway – until he finally discovered the world of expedition cruises in Spitsbergen. To this day, he counts the Arctic archipelago among his favorite destinations—because of the extraordinary diversity of wildlife and landscapes and because the region never ceases to surprise him.

On expeditions, Christophe encourages guests to set aside the daily program, trust the expedition team, and let nature guide them. He is particularly appreciated for his ability to convey complex scientific concepts in an understandable and entertaining way—a quality that makes him one of the most popular guides on board and a great asset to any expedition.

Alex Chavanne (kayak guide)

Alex was born and raised in Northern California—a region that is wilder, more nature-oriented (and colder!) than many people imagine. He was kayaking as a toddler before graduating from the University of California and beginning to lead tours along the rugged and rocky coastline of Santa Cruz.

He spent his youth climbing and skiing in the Sierra Nevada, surfing, kayaking, and boating off the California coast, and traveling around the globe—mostly with his parents. These experiences laid the foundation for a life as a guide. His studies in geosciences not only shaped his strong environmental awareness, but also his research-oriented approach to nature and knowledge. Working closely with scientists and experts gave him valuable insights and friendships from the very beginning – and sparked a special fascination with bird life and the mysterious lichen ecology of the polar regions.

After his first experiences with a world-class surf kayaker in Santa Cruz, his path took him around the world—always in search of new challenges both in and out of the kayak. Months of kayaking expeditions in the fjords of Patagonia, tours through the cold and treacherous waters of the Pacific Northwest, and his logistical support for long research projects in the High Arctic have given him extensive knowledge of leadership, safety, and behavior in the wilderness.

These skills not only benefit him on expeditions to the polar regions—Alex also lives a nature-loving life in his private life. When he's not on an expedition, he can be found climbing, paddling, skiing, or fishing around the Lofoten Islands, which he calls home.

Pia Harboure (photography guide)

Pia grew up in the 1980s and was fascinated by the world of film and the power of images even as a child. This fascination continues to this day—she is particularly enthusiastic about the role photography can play in raising awareness and initiating social change. At the age of nine, she asked for her first camera, took photography courses while still at school, and later studied audio-visual media and photography.

After graduating, Pia began her "global education": she traveled from Patagonia to Sri Lanka to the polar regions, working as a portrait and documentary photographer. Over the past ten years, she has shared her technical and creative knowledge with travelers around the world, combining her passion for storytelling with a sense of aesthetics and authenticity.

Over the past five years, her photographic focus has increasingly shifted to collaborative and sustainable projects, particularly in the field of human rights. Today, she regularly works with international organizations such as UNICEF, using her photography to give visibility to voices that often go unheard.
