1. ACHIEVE THE HOLY GRAIL OF ARCTIC EXPLORATION
Trace highlights of Roald Amundsen’s 1906 route and pay reverence to less fortunate explorers on Beechey Island, a place of safe harbor and peril for Sir John Franklin and his crew.
2. DISCOVER SPECTACULAR LANDSCAPES
Feast your eyes on geological wonders from Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord and the iceberg-studded Uummannaq Fjord to the “Smoking Hills” in the Northwest Territories, found only in the far north.
3. MEET WITH REMOTE INUIT COMMUNITIES
Spend time with the enduring cultures that have long coexisted with the wild passage, such as Ulukhahtok’s rarely visited Inuit, who offer a warm welcome, drum dances and a feast at the shore.
4. EXPERIENCE WILDLIFE IN ITS TRUE DOMAIN
Your expedition ship offers one of the best vantage points from a chance to see polar bears and their cubs hunting on ice floes, as well as beluga whales, puffins and the rare narwhal.
5. EXPLORE WITH REAL-LIFE ARCTIC EXPERTS
Sail with A&K’s deeply experienced Expedition Team, an extraordinary band of real-life explorers ranging from scientists to Polar Medal winners to native Inuit and Canadian Arctic lecturers.

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!
