Travel through Inuit Nunangat alongside Inuit
Journey through the ice, water, and lands of Inuit in the company of northern hosts who share their stories, art, and traditions. Experience the living culture of the Arctic as you visit vibrant communities, sample country food, and gain a deeper understanding of the enduring connection between Inuit and the nuna (land).

Sail to the southern entry of the polar sea
Venture farther north than on any other Adventure Canada voyage, navigating Kane Basin, Smith Sound, and the Nares Strait. Here, drifting ice, luminous skies, and immense landscapes forge moments that define the spirit of true exploration.

Experience living culture across borders
Across Nunavut and northern Greenland, Inuit culture flows freely—woven through family ties, traditional knowledge, and the rhythms of the land and sea—unconfined by the borders of nations.

Explore one of Canada's richest marine sanctuaries
In Tallurutiup Imanga, whales and seabirds thrive amid striking cliffs and sweeping valleys. Step ashore on Devon Island, the world’s largest uninhabited island, where glaciers meet the sea and traces of Inuit life whisper through the stone and tundra.

Stand on Tartupaluk (Hans Island)
Few travellers will ever stand upon this small, windswept island in the Nares Strait. Once the focus of a symbolic sovereignty dispute, Tartupaluk now embodies shared care for the North—and honours the enduring Inuit connections that unite these northern shores.
