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 through the wild Hudson Strait aboard a nimble Zodiac, weaving between dramatic granite outcrops alive with seabirds and marine mammals. This is raw Arctic wilderness at arm's reach — utterly bucket-list.
Step ashore on one of the Savage Islands' rocky outcrops to stand among thousands of nesting Arctic seabirds — murres, kittiwakes, and dovekies in spectacular concentration. A world-class ornithological encounter at the edge of the known world.
Hunt for beluga whales, harp seals, and Arctic fox along the tidal channels of the Lower Savage Islands aboard a private expedition Zodiac with a marine biologist guide. The Hudson Strait is one of the planet's great cetacean corridors.
Walk the ancient Inuit travel routes of the Lower Savage Islands with an expert Arctic historian, uncovering tent-ring sites, cache cairns, and the extraordinary survival story of the Qikiqtani people in one of Earth's harshest environments.
Join a professional Arctic expedition photographer for a dedicated Zodiac session timed to the golden Arctic light — capturing seascapes, wildlife, and the haunting beauty of the Savage Islands at the very edge of photography's most coveted frontier.
Discover the billion-year geological story written into the Lower Savage Islands' Precambrian bedrock with an expedition geologist, then take to the Zodiac to trace glacial striations and ancient ice-melt channels carved into the island coastlines.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
