Ready to embark on a wild 17-day, out-of-this-world adventure?

Out of the Northwest Passage is the ultimate Arctic experience, bursting with thrills, chills, and more jaw-dropping moments than you can imagine. Think glacier-carved landscapes, polar bears, rich Inuit traditions, and the echoes of explorers past—all wrapped in one incredible small-ship journey.

Whether you’re a hiker, birder, poet, or simply love gazing at the beauty of nature, this expedition takes you from the “place of moving waters” (Kugluktuk) to the “place that never thaws” (Ausuittuq), and beyond!
