ITINERARY
Day
1: Iqaluit, NU, Canada
Begin
your journey by transferring to the ship by Zodiac through Iqaluit
harbour. Iqaluit, at the head of Frobisher Bay, is Nunavut’s
capital. A population of nearly 8,000 calls the city home. Local
attractions include the territorial Legislature, igloo-inspired St.
Jude’s Cathedral, art shops, and more.
Day
2: Kitigtung (Lady Franklin Island)
Journey
to Lady Franklin Island, one of the many rugged and wildlife-rich
islands dotting the south Baffin Island coast. Explore the coastline by
Zodiac keeping watch for seabirds, polar bears, and marine life. A
wonderful introduction to the geology of Nunavut, examine the rock
formations from the sea. With Inuit expedition team members by your
side, you'll gain an intimate perspective on the captivating wildlife
and geological wonders that cross your path.
Day
3: Southeast Baffin Island
Spend
time on the nuna—the Inuktitut name for land. Take a hike
that best suits your interest accompanied by our expert expedition team
who offer insightful interpretations of the surroundings. Soak in the
full seasonal blooms at the height of Arctic summer as you explore the
rolling tundra. A stop here will give you a unique opportunity to
connect with nature on a profound level.
Day
4: Pangnirtung
Experience
Pangnirtung, nestled on a coastal plain amidst stunning mountains and a
winding river valley. Meaning “the place of the bull
caribou” in Inuktitut, this charming community is embraced by
snow-capped peaks and the ocean.
Immerse
yourself in renowned Inuit art at the Uqqurmiut Inuit Arts Centre. Step
inside the print and weave shop, where talented Inuit artists create
beautifully woven tapestries and prints.
Get
the opportunity to purchase the acclaimed "Pang"
hats—colourfully patterned crocheted toques—at the
centre's gift shop.
Day
5–6: Cumberland Peninsula
Spend
two days exploring the Cumberland Peninsula, a stunning Arctic region
steeped in cultural heritage. Jutting from the southeastern coast of
Baffin Island, this peninsula encompasses Cumberland Sound, whose
profuse wildlife sustained Inuit and their predecessors for thousands
of years. We hope to experience the same natural wonders as we sail
through the marine-rich waterway.
It
was even considered a potential missing link in the early search for
the Northwest Passage. While exploring, you'll have the opportunity to
delve into the captivating maritime history of the region, gaining a
deeper understanding of its past and present significance. We'll make
the most of every opportunity to hike the vast tundra and Zodiac in the
ice-strewn waters. Make sure to keep an eye out for the abundant
wildlife that calls this region home, including polar bears, Arctic
foxes, and beluga whales.
Day
7: At Sea — Davis Strait
Deepen
your understanding of the environment, cultures, and history of the
region as we sail across the Davis Strait towards Greenland. Get the
privileged opportunity to engage with and learn from Inuit in their
homeland. Enjoy workshops and presentations, watch a documentary, and
get out on deck! Try your hand at athletic feats during an interactive
cultural performance of Inuit games.
Through
shared experiences and interactions, develop a deep appreciation for
the culture and gain a profound connection to the stunning landscapes
we traverse. Keep your binoculars ready to spot whales and seabirds who
follow in our wake.

and the tiniest tundra flowers—a stop in this area will offer
many outstanding features to pique your interest.
Day
10: Ilulissat
Experience
the remarkable beauty of Ilulissat Icefjord, renowned for its enormous
icebergs. Ilulissat means “iceberg”—an
apt name for this site at the outlet of the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier. It
is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the source of many of the icebergs
in the North Atlantic. Marvel at the sheer grandeur of the towering ice
formations as you take a stroll along the boardwalk—truly a
sight to behold! Visit the town, with its museums, charming cafes,
craft shops, and bustling fishing harbour. Be sure to make your way to
the Ilulissat Icefjord Centre, where you can delve into the fascinating

West Greenland’s complex coastal waterways that include
glaciers, islands, and fjords against a towering mountain backdrop,
with plentiful opportunities for hiking and Zodiac cruising. Learn
about the Saqqaq, Dorset, Thule, and modern Inuit cultures that have
called the Sisimiut region home for the past 4,500 years. The waters
are relatively warm here, due to the West Greenland Current and the
subarctic location.
Day
12: Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
End
your journey by sailing up Kangerlussuaq Fjord (Søndre
Strømfjord), a 190-kilometre-long fjord surrounded by
mountains and glaciers, and cross the Arctic Circle on your way.
