Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Glide by inflatable Zodiac deep into the dramatic fjord walls of Croker Bay, landing on ancient glacial ice for a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic moment. The thundering calving glacier and towering bergs make this the definitive High Arctic bucket-list experience.
Step ashore on one of Earth's largest uninhabited islands and hike pristine High Arctic tundra with a specialist naturalist, spotting musk ox, Arctic fox, and rare migratory birds against a backdrop of rust-red cliffs and glacial valleys. Devon Island is a true wilderness that almost no traveler ever sets foot on.
Join an exclusive, photographer-led Zodiac circuit of Croker Bay's icebergs, fjord walls, and wildlife hotspots — framing shots that most photographers will never have the chance to take. This is the High Arctic as a living, light-drenched studio.
Paddle a sea kayak through mirror-calm Arctic waters hemmed in by cliffs that soar hundreds of metres overhead, drifting silently past bergy bits and listening for the splash of ringed seals. Kayaking in the High Arctic is among the most serene and exclusive experiences on the planet.
Engage directly with Inuit cultural interpreters who share traditional navigation methods, tool-making, and oral histories rooted in thousands of years of Arctic survival — a profoundly human counterpoint to the wilderness grandeur of Croker Bay.
Navigate by Zodiac to the towering seabird colonies of Devon Island's cliffs, where hundreds of thousands of thick-billed murres, black-legged kittiwakes, and northern fulmars fill the air in a spectacle that rivals any wildlife encounter on Earth.
