Canadian Arctic

Register

Over X incredible days, we'll sail the legendary Northwest Passage aboard a luxury polar expedition ship, exploring breathtaking fjords, glaciers, towering cliffs, and untouched Arctic wilderness.

Even better, this itinerary includes experiences that few Arctic expeditions offer, from helicopter adventures to immersive shore landings, bringing you closer to the region than ever before.

📍 Here's what makes this expedition so special:

  • Fly over the Arctic on included helicopter flightseeing for breathtaking views and exclusive access to remote locations.

  • Cruise among glaciers and icebergs in Zodiacs, with regular landings to explore the Arctic up close.

  • Visit Inuit and Greenlandic communities and discover their unique traditions and way of life.

  • Search for incredible wildlife, including whales, walruses, musk oxen, seabirds, and more.

  • Travel with an expert expedition team who'll bring the Arctic to life through guided excursions, wildlife spotting, photography tips, and fascinating presentations.

And I've managed to negotiate exclusive savings across all cabin categories, including balcony cabins. 🎉

If the Arctic has always been on your bucket list, this is an expedition you won't want to miss.

I'm so excited to be able to offer this trip – and to join you on it!

We’ll sail through the Canadian High Arctic, tracing a route of towering glaciers, dramatic fjords, and pristine wilderness, with opportunities to experience Inuit communities and encounter Arctic wildlife along the way.

We’ll meet in Reykjavík, Iceland, before flying to Nuuk and embarking on our expedition ship. From there, we’ll explore the Canadian Arctic, with stops such as Qikiqtarjuaq, Pond Inlet, Coburg Island, Beechey Island, Fort Ross and Dundas Harbour, before sailing back to Greenland for disembarkation in Kangerlussuaq. Along the way, each day brings new adventures, from Zodiac cruising and remote landings to wildlife encounters, cultural experiences and expert talks onboard.

About the Adventure

And if, like me, the Canadian Arctic has never really been on your radar before, just LOOK at these photos!

This map outlines a sample route for your journey. In the Arctic, flexibility is essential, your exact path will be shaped by weather, sea conditions, and ice. This allows the expedition team to adapt in real time, ensuring the best possible experiences, from wildlife encounters to remote landings and cultural visits in Greenlandic communities and historic UNESCO-listed regions.

Wildlife in this region is both diverse and spectacular. Greenland’s landscapes are home to roaming reindeer, walruses along the coastline, and the immense Greenland Ice Sheet. During the summer months, the surrounding waters become one of the best places in the world for whale watching, with frequent sightings of humpback, minke, fin, and Greenland whales.

📸 For photographers, this expedition delivers at every turn. From vast icescapes and dramatic fjords to intimate wildlife moments, there’s no shortage of incredible scenes to capture, whether you’re using a professional camera or your phone. To complement your own photos, you’ll also receive a professionally curated photo journal from the onboard photographer, preserving the highlights of your journey.

🚢 The Ship: Ultramarine

This adventure takes place aboard Ultramarine, a purpose-built expedition ship that’s perfectly suited to polar travel.

It's a new, state-of-the-art expedition vessel packed with features designed for comfort and adventure.

Ship highlights


✅ Friendly, professional crew: From the moment you step onboard, you’ll be welcomed by a team known for being helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm.
✅ Small ship, big access: With fewer than 200 guests, Ultramarine can reach remote shorelines, get closer to wildlife, and access sensitive areas that larger vessels can’t.
✅ Built for exploration: The ship carries two twin-engine helicopters, opening the door to experiences like heli-hiking on rugged ridges, scenic flights over ice-covered landscapes, and landings in the High Arctic.
✅ 360° viewing deck: You can move around the full deck, making it easy to head outside quickly when whales, seabirds, or other wildlife appear.
✅ Onboard comforts: Enjoy the spa and sauna with panoramic windows, plus a gym, bar, presentation theatre, two restaurants, a shop, and 24/7 reception.
✅ Daily learning: Expert presentations from the Expedition Team bring the Canadian Arctic’s wildlife, history, and culture to life.

🌱 Responsible travel
One of the reasons I’m happy to partner with Quark is their strong respect for the fragile polar environment. They are committed to protecting the places they visit, operating with care, landing only in approved areas, and following strict Arctic guidelines to minimise disturbance to wildlife and nature.

👉 If you’d like, I can also turn this into a more polished website block or a shorter, punchier version.

🍽 Meals on board

One thing I can promise: you won't go hungry!

Meal times might shift depending on landings and wildlife sightings, but you'll enjoy:

• Three delicious meals a day, with breakfasts and lunches usually buffet style, and dinners either buffet or plated.

• Snacks and treats are available all day, including an almost continuous tea/coffee station with biscuits and cakes.

• Soft drinks, wines, beer, and non-premium spirits included during meals and bar hours. (And no, these aren't the cheap and disgusting

ones-the free drinks are really good!)

• Premium spirits, wines and champagne available for an additional charge, billed to your onboard account (no cash needed)

Most dietary needs can be accommodated if you let Quark know in advance. (The only exception is kosher meals, which can't be provided.)

Cabin Example

Standard Balcony Ensuite Cabin

(photo above)

Bright, comfortable and perfect for watching the scenery as we sail – complete with private bathroom, daily housekeeping and those all-important big windows to make the most of the views. The balcony is brilliant for sitting with a cup of tea and watching the incredible landscape (and whales!) just slip by.

Total Solar Eclipse - The Perfect Excuse to Arrive Early

To make this dream trip even more incredible, it departs just a few days after the total solar eclipse in August 2026.

The eclipse won't be visible in the UK, but it will be visible in Iceland – right where our adventure begins.

✨ Why not turn this into a once-in-a-lifetime double adventure?

Arrive in Iceland a few days early, witness a rare and breathtaking astronomical event, and then step aboard Ultramarine for your Greenland expedition. Honestly, if you've been looking for a reason to visit Iceland, this is it – you can do it all in one trip.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Absolutely! You can either:

    • Share a cabin and be paired with someone of the same gender and similar age, or

    • Book your own cabin with a single supplement.

    Either way, you'll be part of our Wandering Travel Tribe group, so you'll have friends from day one.

  • Moderate fitness is plenty. You need to be able to get in and out of the Zodiacs if you want to go ashore. Some people simply choose to stay onboard and enjoy the scenery – there's no pressure to join every landing. (And don't worry about getting in/ out of the zodiacs. There are 3 people helping each time. If you can walk up/ down stairs, you can do that)

  • Me too, my lovely! I was nervous before my first trip to Antarctica, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. I used Seabands and took tablets, and there's always a qualified expedition doctor onboard. The crew are brilliant at finding calm waters whenever possible, and the ship is designed to cross the fearful Drake Passage. So even though we're the other end of the planet, it's still designed to deal with whatever we encounter with safety and stability.

  • Not at all. I only had my iPhone and a GoPro on my first trip and still came home with amazing photos. But if you do have a "proper" camera, you'll find endless opportunities to practise and improve.
