Journey with us northwards to the ethereal beauty of the Arctic, where you will discover dreamlike landscapes of snow and ice, rugged mountains, dazzling glaciers and the tranquil shores of sheltered fjords and inlets. This is a region of spectacular wildlife, from huge polar bears measuring 11 feet in length, muskox and massively tusked walrus, to giant colonies of birds and seals. White Beluga Whales glide silently through the cold waters, which are also home to Humpback and Bowhead whales, Bearded seals, and the mysterious Narwhal. Many of our journeys also include visits to remote Inuit communities and historic and archaeological sites dating back thousands of years.
