During this 15-day Active Adventure through the heart of the Northwest Passage, you will visit the islands and waterways that are synonymous with the legendary search for the northern seafaring route to Asia. En route from Resolute to Cambridge Bay, an exciting optional adventure will be offered kayaking – places are available for a limited number of experienced kayakers to take to the icy waterways on excursions from the vessel.
