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.
Step ashore by Zodiac onto one of the Arctic's most haunting historical sites — the abandoned 1924 RCMP outpost on Devon Island. Walk among the ghostly remnants of Canada's most remote police post, where officers were stationed to assert sovereignty over the High Arctic.
Lace up and follow an expert polar naturalist up Devon Island's sweeping tundra ridgelines for breathtaking panoramas over Lancaster Sound — one of the world's great Arctic seascapes — while discovering ancient marine fossils hidden underfoot.
Devon Island is home to free-roaming muskoxen — shaggy, prehistoric-looking giants that have survived here since the Ice Age. Join a specialist wildlife guide for a dedicated small-group search across the tundra for muskox herds, Arctic fox, snowy owls, and seabirds.
Paddle a sea kayak at the very threshold of the Northwest Passage, weaving silently between ice floes and bergy bits in Lancaster Sound — a once-in-a-lifetime perspective on the High Arctic that no Zodiac can replicate.
Devon Island's sea cliffs host thousands of nesting thick-billed murres, black-legged kittiwakes, and glaucous gulls. A dedicated polar naturalist guides you to the prime vantage points for unobstructed, world-class wildlife photography.
Before or after landing, sit with a dedicated polar historian for a private, illustrated deep-dive into the epic and tragic history of the Northwest Passage — from Franklin's doomed expedition to the RCMP sovereignty patrols that used Dundas Harbour as their Arctic anchor.
