Few destinations compare to the Arctic's ice-capped peaks, majestic fjords, picturesque fishing villages, and abundant wildlife. Summer is the best time to visit, with long daylight ideal for exploring. After a night in Montreal, fly to Kangerlussuaq to board Clelia II and set sail to discover Greenland's glaciers, tundra, and centuries-old villages. Zodiac excursions take you among icebergs and floes for an intimate look at the Illulissat Ice Fjord. Visit fishing communities and historic sites, including Red Bay and Baffin Island, part of Canada's Nunavut territory. Cruise along Labrador's coast, watching for beluga and minke whales and nesting gannets. Navigate the St. Lawrence River and St. Lawrence Seaway, concluding in the bustling city of Toronto.
