    Seattle, United States
    • Seattle, United States
    Enjoy the city before your expedition cruise begins. The adventure begins in the Emerald City of Seattle, on the Pacific coast of the United States. Why not arrive early and head to the Seattle Aquarium to see sea otters and a giant Pacific octopus? Or, for incredible views of Puget Sound and the surrounding mountains, take a stroll through the nine-acre Olympic Sculpture Park, admiring the work of renowned artists as you go. And for a feast of the senses, visit the famous Pike Place Market. Operating for over a century, this lively farmer's market boasts everything from buskers and bars to salmon-throwing fishmongers! You'll spend the night here in Seattle before your connecting flight to Alaska the next day. ...

    • Nome, United States
    Setting off on your adventure. Today, you'll take an early flight from Seattle to Nome, Alaska, where your state-of-the art expedition ship awaits to take you on a journey through the famed Northwest Passage and beyond. Prospectors first came to Nome in 1898, and people still hunt for gold here today. You'll see evidence of the Gold Rush era all around, including abandoned dredges, turn-of-the century steam engines, and old railroad tracks, lending the town a unique and intriguing atmosphere. You'll be in good company as you explore the town. Wyatt Earp, the famous sheriff, opened a saloon here. Nome was also the end point of three of Roald Amundsen's great polar expeditions. Upon boarding the ship and after collecting your complimentary expedition jacket, it's time to check out your cabin, meet the Expedition Team and explore your new home-away-from-home. Your adventure has truly begun! ...

    • Cruising Bellot Strait, Canada
    Navigate the dividing line between west and east. The "Rubicon" of the Canadian Arctic that divides west from east is the infamous Bellot Strait. This narrow body of water separates the northernmost part of mainland North America from Somerset Island, one of the largest islands in the Canadian Arctic archipelago. Bellot Strait is approximately 15 nautical miles long and just over half a mile wide at its narrowest point. Our ability to navigate this passage will be determined by ice and weather conditions. ...

    Discover the magical beauty of Greenland. The final chapter of our journey encompasses the majestic coast of West Greenland. We will begin by sailing into Disko Bay-a haven for whales and seals. Over the next three days, you'll experience some of the most iconic sites in all of Greenland. Our objectives include: Ilulissat: Nestled at the edge of the magnificent Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is Ilulissat. Here you'll find an ever-changing gallery of passing icebergs set against a backdrop of colorful houses. In town you can visit a multitude of shops selling local crafts, and on the outskirts walking trails take you along the epic icefjord. Sisimiut: Sisimiut is Greenland's second city and is situated in a spectacular location just above the Arctic Circle. This area has history spanning more than 4,500 years, and old traditions are alive and well. Learn more about ancient Saqqaq artifacts in the local museum, or stretch your legs on a hike. If you're looking for a special souvenir, pick up a scarf, hat, or mittens made of qiviut, the inner wool of the musk ox that's said to be ten times warmer than sheep's wool. Evighedsfjord: We plan to have an exploration day in the magical and pristine Evighedsfjord near Maniitsoq. Each day, we'll determine which adventures we can take part in. The "Fjord of Eternity" is fed by an ice cap that calves huge icebergs into its 2,300-foot-deep waters. It's surrounded by mist-cloaked mountains with beautiful white ridges, punctuated by crystal blue ice caves. ...
