The Northwest Passage
The Northwest Passage is an incredible voyage of discovery and I loved the diversity of it. Some highlights were incredible sightings of 32 polar bears, Northern Lights for a week, plus cruising through the Bering Strait. There were 9 of us from SA, all very well travelled / cruised and we all rated this as a trip of a lifetime!

It wasn’t until Roald Amundsen navigated this icy maze on a 3-year odyssey that this remote wilderness route became a reality. Today, it remains a prized bucket-list voyage for any traveller wishing to follow in the footsteps of history’s most daring explorers.
The fabled Northwest Passage gives you the chance to visit remote communities, search for Arctic wildlife and gaze in awe at majestic landscapes as you attempt this legendary route. Cruising an ever-changing maze of water channels, you’ll experience larger than life ice-capped mountains and icebergs with every blue imaginable.
Search for polar bears hunting, an Arctic fox venturing across the tundra and beluga whales peering out the ice; these are just some of the experiences unique to this area.
