Over hundreds of years, early explorers sought to uncover the route through the Northwest Passage. Following our inaugural Victoria Strait Expedition of 2014 resulting in the find of HMS Erebus, we revisit the Northwest Passage and explore key historic sites directly connected to the Franklin Expedition. Explore the Arctic on a modern-day ice-class ship, and discover rich scenery embedded with history, glaciated waterways, windswept landscapes and incredible wildlife such as polar bears, seals, muskox and whales.
