Your personal voyage of discovery
Explore and learn about new lands and people as you experience the rich culture and fascinating
landscapes we sail to. Take the road less travelled and enrich your perspective during visits to
communities, natural habitats, and historic sites that can be otherwise difficult to reach.
Our expeditions are designed to be flexible and allow us to make the best of Mother Nature’s
conditions. We often make landfall at new places and are able to share new discoveries and
local knowledge with you. Your voyage will be marked with thoughtful discussions, expert
interpretation, and the spirit of discovery.
Get off the ship, get into a Zodiac!
Cruise among icebergs; search for marine
mammals; visit an Inuit hamlet; wander remote
coastline… simply enjoy the freedom of being out
on the water daily! Our goal is to get you off the
ship, as often as possible.
Zodiacs free us from the dependency on ports,
piers, and other man-made infrastructure. These
safe, stable, versatile boats that take you where

of every learning opportunity, aboard and ashore,
in geology, botany, marine biology, archeology,
photography, cultural history, and more!
Our hand-picked experts are as excited as you are to
be on board. Join them on deck searching for wildlife,
share daily meals for personal indepth conversations,
participate in workshops, attend presentations, and

Wildlife encounters
Daily excursions with expert guides put you where you are most likely to see wildlife: whales and
seabirds in Atlantic Canada; muskox, seals, and polar bears in the high Arctic. Whether viewing
on deck, in the Zodiac, or learning during our presentation series, you’ll come away with an
appreciation for the fine creatures that inhabit our world. Our best practices ensure the safety and
integrity of the wildlife we have the privilege to view.

Yet it is the people of this land that are the most intriguing. Europe’s oldest nation, but never a country. An
ancient language with no relation to any other language on earth. An enduring culture whose impact on the
