Why travel to Northwest Passage
The legendary ice-clogged waterways of the Canadian High Arctic have enthralled explorers ever since John Cabot first attempted the transit in 1497. It was not until 1903-06 that Roald Amundsen, the same man who would go on to beat Scott to the South Pole in 1911, became the first to complete a full transit from east to west. However, it was undoubtedly Sir John Franklin’s doomed 1845 expedition that captured the collective imagination.

Northwest Passage
Our Destination Expert’s top tip
Be prepared for the shifting ice to dictate every day as it has done since man first sailed through these waters.
Originally the NW passage was a trade route from Europe to China. The Spanish Empire wanted to reach China and the Far East by a western route as Portugal took charge of the eastern route around Cape Of Good Hope. The Northwest Passage is 7,000km shorter than the current shipping route through the Panama Canal. That’s about two weeks saved in travelling time.
The narwhal whales are found in NW passage, also known as a narwhale (Monodon monoceros), is a medium-sized toothed whale that possesses a large unicorn “tusk” from a protruding canine tooth.
