Canada
Canada is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many visitors to see the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, where your group can hear and witness the glaciers cracking and shifting before your eyes. Bald eagles, whales and otters are among the species in the region that live in the region and you might have an encounter up close while using the water toys to travel along the coast.

Greenland, Svalbard and Iceland
Greenland & Svalbard are enchanting destinations where the clean clear air and hot springs will entice you onto land to go adventuring. Dog sledge across the snow and make use of the long daylight hours to fit in plenty of winter sports, then return to a delicious three-course dinner prepared by your expert onboard chef.
Wildlife enthusiasts will want to have their cameras ready when visiting Iceland, where there are Puffins, Arctic foxes and seals live in this dramatic, vividly coloured landscape created by volcanic activity.
