Explore the wild coastlines of Baffin Bay and the mythical region of Thule, at the heart of the Far North. As you sail along, you will discover spectacular polar landscapes, including mountains shaped by glaciers, broken-up ice floes and brash ice, and endless tundra where you could be lucky enough to spot polar bears. Not to mention the majestic, UNESCO-listed Disko Bay, renowned for the largest icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere. But the essence of this journey lies in meeting the Inuit communities of Greenland and Canada and experiencing authentic, unforgettable moments as they share with you their ancestral way of life, underpinned by resilience and wisdom. 

  • Explore Baffin Bay and the High Arctic region of Thule, a mythical territory of the Far North and one of the most difficult to access.
  • Discover the landscapes (Arctic Cordillera, pack ice, drifting icebergs, brash ice, etc.) and the wildlife (opportunities to glimpse or observe polar bears, cetaceans, musk oxen, seabirds, etc.).
  • Activities: opportunities for dinghy outings and shore visits with your naturalist guides, kayaking, visits to traditional villages, encounters with the Inuit communities, etc.
