15 DAY CRUISE NORTHWEST PASSAGE
|
 |
 |
|
| |
| |
|
Explore the historic Northwest Passage on this 15 day arctic adventure cruise.
This voyage starts with a monumental voyage along one of Greenland's longest fjords, 168km out to
Davis Strait
as you cross into the Arctic Circle. Turning the corner, you'll head north, with stops along the Sisimuit
|
coast,
as you encounter colourful houses set on the treeless tundra, meet the friendly Greenlanders and share
in their culture. Arriving in Ilulissat, you'll marvel at the vast icefields, cruise among
the icebergs in the shadow of a glacier and visit the vibrant fishing community here. At Karat
Fjord, you will hike through the tundra, engaged by the grand vistas, diminutive flora, and
serendipitous encounters with the local wildlife. Moving on to Upernavik, you will reach the
farthest north the Vikings are known to have travelled, and you will challenge the community
to a soccer game, which we invariably lose.
Aug. 19- Sep. 02, 2012, quad starts $6,995.00 pp

THE CRUISE SHIP CLIPPER |
|
|
|
| |
| |
 |
The 122-passenger Clipper Adventurer, among the very few vessels
in the world specifically constructed for expedition voyages to the far reaches of this remote
land. Her icestrengthened hull permits her to glide easily and safely through ice-strewn waters
that are not acces-
sible to conventional cruise vessels. She has advanced
|
communications and navigation equipment, and newly
installed, state-of-the-art Sperry Gyrofin stabilizers. The majority of shore
landings are undertaken using Zodiacs. Zodiac embarkations involve descending
gangway stairs with double handrails and stepping into the Zodiac from a small
platform at water level (assistance is provided). The travelling style is casual,
with open dining room seating and no formal dress requirements. Woolly sweaters,
rubber boots and a sense of adventure are the only necessities! The open-bridge
policy offers a superb view for birding or wildlife sighting and a chance to interact with the crew.
