Arctic Holidays

During this 16-day Canadian Arctic expedition you’ll transit the infamous Hecla and Fury Strait. Named after a pair of exploration ships that were forced to turn back when they reached the ice-choked channel, this body of water on the west coast of Baffin Island challenges ordinary vessels. The polar class icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov is purpose-built for Arctic ice conditions.
