Cruise Around Baffin Island

This remote island in the Arctic Ocean is home to polar bears, arctic fox, arctic hare and a slew of whale species, among others. Take a cruise aboard an ice ship and explore the spectacular, iceberg-strewn fjords. Then hike the otherworldly tundra littered with moss-covered rocks and short, colorful plants. From the ship’s deck, keep an eye out for polar bears lounging on icebergs and Bowhead Whales—which are on the U.S. endangered animal list—summering in Isabella Bay.
