About This Cruise
<p>Set off on an exploration through the ice of Baffin Bay in the heart of the Northwest Passage, one of the most mythical maritime routes that exists. Along the western coast of Greenland, discover the colourful Inuit villages and the largest icebergs in the northern hemisphere in Disko Bay, before you head to Canada’s Nunavut territory and its communities. Following in the footsteps of the great explorers, including Sir Franklin and his doomed expedition, you will experience the raw emotion of the Arctic and its history. Here, where pioneers tried to pave the way on this northern route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, make sure you keep your eyes peeled and perhaps you will get a glimpse of the real lord of the manor: the polar bear. <p></p>We are privileged guests in these remote lands where we are at the mercy of weather, ice, tidal and current conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the AECO.?</p>
