Activity Level
From glaciers and fjords to polar bears and belugas, there’s nothing like the landscapes and ecosystems of the Arctic. Experience the vastness and magnificence of northern Canada firsthand and get a new perspective on geological features and wildlife via expedition ship and smaller Zodiac vessels. Set sail across the region’s bays while keeping your eyes peeled for walruses, whales, seals and more. Then, make land on the world’s largest island — Greenland — and explore its capital on foot, including a stop at the Greenland National Museum. Voyage through Inuit culture, Arctic wildlife and geology on this unforgettable learning adventure.
Best of all, you'll...
  • Visit Akpatok Island, which boasts spectacular limestone cliffs and an abundance of birds, in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.
  • Delve into the area’s Inuit culture as you visit an Inuit art studio and explore Kimmirut, where the Inuit people have lived for thousands of years.
  • Search for Arctic wildlife from smaller Zodiac vessels.

Keep the Pace
I like to spend much of the day exploring. Whether walking through historic neighborhoods at a moderate pace or out and about on a coach, I prefer to keep my days full. Stairs don’t bother me, and I love to keep up with the group.
