Ellesmere Island & North Greenland Cruise

At the edge of the map, where sea ice drifts beneath luminous skies, lies a place where natural beauty and human history converge. On Ellesmere Island and North Greenland: Journey to the Top of the World, you’ll travel farther north than on any other Adventure Canada voyage.

Here, at the southern entry to the polar sea, Kane Basin, Smith Sound, and the Nares Strait unfold in a world of drifting ice and layered histories. Beginning in Qausuittuq (Resolute), sail through Tallurutiup Imanga, a thriving Arctic sanctuary where whales and seabirds flourish. Cross into Greenland to visit the Inughuit community of Qaanaaq, navigate the powerful channels between Greenland and Ellesmere Island, and step ashore on Tartupaluk (Hans Island)—a place of shared care and enduring Inuit connection.

Along the way, walk the sweeping tundra of Devon Island, reflect at Beechey Island, and experience the stillness of landscapes few have ever witnessed. For the curious traveller, this is a rare opportunity to experience the High Arctic where geography, culture, and story meet, revealing the heart of the North—profound, humbling, and alive.
