Atlas Ocean Voyages Unveils Exciting New Canadian Arctic Expedition for 2026
Atlas Ocean Voyages has announced a thrilling new polar journey known as the Canadian Arctic Discovery, scheduled for a remarkable 17-night expedition that will set sail on September 21, 2026. Passengers will embark on the adventure from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, concluding their journey in St. John's, Newfoundland. This voyage provides a unique opportunity to explore the pristine and remote areas of the Canadian Arctic and Labrador, characterized by rugged wilderness, rich cultural encounters, and memorable wildlife experiences.
The itinerary is packed with exciting expedition activities such as Zodiac safaris in the striking Disco Bay and Button Islands, which serve as crucial habitats for polar bears, walruses, and whales. Guests can expect scenic ice cruising, as well as chances to observe black bears in Nachvak Fjord. Furthermore, visitors will have the chance to engage deeply with the diverse cultures of communities like Sisimiut and Qikiqtarjuaq, connecting with local artisans representing a variety of heritages, including Greenlandic and Inuit, alongside Basque and French traditions.
Among the voyage’s highlights are ancient Inuit customs, a visit to the historic Basque whaling station in Red Bay, and the distinctive allure of the islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. Wildlife enthusiasts can anticipate frequent sightings of polar bears, migratory seabirds, and seals during remote landings and Zodiac cruises. Furthermore, travelers will have the opportunity to explore the remnants of the Moravian mission in Hebron, along with the stunning geological features of the UNESCO-designated Gros Morne National Park. A variety of Captain’s Choice days will also be integrated into the itinerary, providing for spontaneous landings in the wild and untouched Arctic regions.
The experience is poised to be a showpiece of Atlas Ocean Voyages’ polar offerings, and those interested in this Arctic getaway can begin planning their trips, as limited availability for the 2025 Arctic season still exists with another enticing Arctic voyage aboard World Voyager scheduled from Kangerlussuaq to Reykjavik for 10 nights, commencing August 19, 2025.
Additionally, Atlas Ocean Voyages is proud to welcome seasoned Expedition Leaders for its 2025 Arctic season. Jonathan Zaccaria, a specialized French spectrometry engineer turned polar guide, is set to lead with over a decade of expertise in polar expeditions in both Antarctica and the Arctic aboard World Voyager's voyages this summer. Zaccaria's remarkable career took off at the celebrated Dumont d'Urville Station, where he gained invaluable experience, including numerous Antarctic over-winterings.
In parallel, Ekaterina Uryupova, hailing from Siberia, will also take charge of the expedition team. With a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences, Uryupova brings extensive research and fieldwork knowledge from both polar regions, specializing in marine biology and climate science, as well as engaging in environmental advocacy with organizations such as APECS and PYRN.
