ICEBERGS AND ARCTIC COASTLINES
Further north, Ilulissat and Uummannaq deliver some of the
journey's most memorable Arctic scenes. Guests can admire
Ilulissat's famous ice fjord, explore traces of ancient Inuit
settlements and take in the striking coastal landscapes of
Uummannaq Fjord.
INTO THE CANADIAN HIGH ARCTIC
In Pond Inlet and the Canadian High Arctic, the expedition
spirit comes to the fore. Guests can kayak among polar
landscapes, set out by Zodiac, or grab their binoculars and
scan the landscape for the many species of migratory birds
that flock to the region.
CULTURE ALONG THE ST. LAWRENCE
After the stark beauty of the Arctic, eastern Canada brings
a different rhythm. Historic ports, national parks and
maritime communities lead to Québec City, where Old
Québec, Château Frontenac, Dufferin Terrace and the city's
fortified streets offer a rich blend of French heritage and
North American history.
EXTEND YOUR VOYAGE WITH 5 NIGHTS IN PERU
Immerse yourself in the ancient Incan civilisation of the
Peruvian Andes as you spend 5 nights exploring their
sacred sites. Discover the well-preserved structures
of Machu Picchu, a UNESCO Site. Learn more about
the traditions of the Andean people, and experience
modern Peru in Lima and Cusco.
FROM ISLAND COLOUR TO THE PANAMA CANAL
The journey then turns south, trading ice and rugged
coastlines for the turquoise waters of The Bahamas and the
lush landscapes of Jamaica. San Salvador Island, Man of War
Bay and Port Antonio offer beaches, markets, waterfalls
and relaxed island culture before the ship sails through
the Panama Canal—a landmark passage that connects the
Caribbean with the Pacific and opens the way to
South America.
SOUTH AMERICA'S PACIFIC EDGE
Along the western coast of South America, Lima, Iquique
and Valparaíso reveal layers of colonial history and coastal
scenery. From Peru's museums to Chile's colourful hillsides,
this stretch of the voyage showcases South America's
culture and character.
CHILEAN FJORDS AND WILDERNESS
In southern Chile, the expedition returns to dramatic
wilderness. From Puerto Chacabuco to Garibaldi Fjord,
guests encounter the glacier-carved landscapes of the
Chilean fjords, where towering ice, snow-dusted peaks and
sheltered waterways come into view.
ANTARCTICA: THE BREATHTAKING FINALE
After rounding Cape Horn and crossing the Drake Passage,
Antarctica becomes the voyage's unforgettable conclusion.
Here, icebergs glimmer in quiet bays, glaciers calve into the
sea and wildlife may appear in remarkable moments, from
seals resting on ice to whales surfacing in cold waters. Shore
landings, kayaking and journeys by Special Operations
Boat bring guests closer to a destination that has inspired
explorers for centuries.
GREENLAND'S INUIT HERITAGE
The voyage begins in Nuuk, Greenland's capital, where
colourful harbourfront houses sit beneath rugged
mountains and Inuit heritage is brought to life through
local museums, art and storytelling.
