Are you ready for an adventure that will make history? We’re about to sail across the top of the world, to explore the fabled Northwest Passage and set foot on places few people have ever been. For decades, Canada’s high Arctic remained terra incognita, a fascinatingly dangerous obsession that drove explorers to commit to three years of hardship on wooden ships with icy decks in an environment that could break ships as well as the resolve of even the most resolute sailors.
It’s easier and infinitely more comfortable today, but it still takes commitment and only a handful of ships attempt the journey each year. It will take a full three weeks for Seabourn Cruise Line’s new Seabourn Venture to complete this inaugural voyage from Greenland to Alaska through Arctic Canada. And navigation still depends on tides and ice, so our advance itinerary promises only that each day will be a Northwest Passage Experience.
