Picture yourself snorkeling with a family of narwhals or a large group of the famous white whales, belugas. Or, imagine sharing an ice floe with a Polar Bear! This expedition is for the modern day explorer, going way beyond the conventional cruise itineraries with authentic Arctic exploration and nature watching.

This Arctic adventure brings you into direct contact with nature's extremes, whether you'd rather admire the view from the top of a bird cliff you've just climbed, or encounter a two-ton walrus on its home turf. This expeditions travels out to the where the solid arctic ice ends and the open ocean begins. Here, whales tend to congregate around the floe edge as the ice blocks their migratory routes and polar bears also patrol the edge. There is a good chance to spot narwhals and beluga at the floe edges of Hudson Bay and if you are lucky a close encounter while snorkelling. You will go out by boat in search of large groups of walrus sunning themselves on the shores of the isolated islands in northern Hudson Bay.

This expedition takes you on a journey through three northern Canadian towns, and one within the arctic circle. Here you will see how modern inventions and Inuit tradition have mixed together to form a truly unique way of life. You will have the chance to purchase one-of-a-kind carvings by local artists and taste traditional Inuit food. If you would like to enjoy a genuine exploration of the Arctic, and are happy to be patient, flexible and maintain a sense of humour, in accordance with the untamed Arctic and the animals that inhabit it, then this will be the trip of a lifetime for you.
