Arctic Canada > 12 day Northwest Passage

The quest for the Northwest Passage has occupied the minds of western civilisation for half a millennia.  The English called the hypothetical route the Northwest Passage, while the Spanish called it the Strait of Anian.  The desire to establish such a route motivated much of the European exploration of both coasts of North America. Throughout the Canadian Arctic waterways history manifests in physical geography as you pass straits, islands and peninsulas bearing the names of the men who charted this forbidden coastline.  Names like FranklinStrait, M'Clintock Channel, Gjoa Haven and KentPeninsula conjures century old tales of tragedy, hardship, determination, extraordinary feats of the human mind, body and the explorers who made them.  Join us and trace the infamous Passage that engulfed the imagination of millions and occupied navies for centuries.  Be a part of nautical history.
