Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Glide by Zodiac to the thundering face of the South Croker Bay tidewater glacier — one of the Arctic's most dramatic ice walls. A rare front-row encounter with Devon Island's ancient ice in one of Canada's most remote bays.
Sea-kayak through iceberg-studded waters at the foot of the South Croker Bay glacier — a genuinely world-class Arctic paddle available only to those who venture this deep into Nunavut. One of the planet's most remote kayaking experiences.
Scan Devon Island's tundra and icy bay waters from a Zodiac with a dedicated wildlife naturalist — polar bear, narwhal, Arctic fox, and thick-billed murres all frequent Croker Bay. A bucket-list wildlife encounter at 75°N.
Join a working team of Arctic scientists to collect real glaciological and ecological field data on Devon Island — contributing to active research while exploring terrain no tourist trail could replicate. Croker Bay's most intellectually immersive experience.
Hike the stark, moon-like tundra of Devon Island — Earth's largest uninhabited island and one NASA uses as a Mars analogue — with an expert guide who reads the landscape through Inuit history, geology, and climate science. Extraordinarily remote and hauntingly beautiful.
Work alongside a professional expedition photographer on the ice-fringed shores and Zodiac waters of Croker Bay, mastering Arctic light, glacial composition, and wildlife technique in one of the most visually spectacular environments on Earth.
