A second ship-based trip with Mark to Baffin Island, Canadian High Arctic NOW TAKING BOOKINGS
Dates: 12 - 27 August 2014 (94 passengers)
An exclusive two-week Arctic adventure!
12 - 27 August 2014
Our first Baffin Island trip sold out within a week, and so we've chartered the same ship to continue as far north as we can. Very few trips go to this wildlife-rich icy wilderness. No expedition cruises combine visits to such enigmatic islands as Baffin, Devon, Prince Leopold and Ellesmere. For this unique adventure - which will be a one-off - we have put together a special itinerary to see as much of the region as we possibly can - northern Baffin and beyond, local Inuit culture and, most of all, the fabulous wildlife.
