Travel to the Canadian High Arctic - a Region of Ancient Ice, Gigantic Icebergs and Awe-Inspiring Fjords

Explore the Canadian High Arctic on a small ship cruise, offering a unique vantage point of this remote region's towering icebergs, deep fjords, and ancient glaciers.

Key stops often include Beechey Island, known for its historical significance as part of the Franklin expedition's tragic story.
