Canadian Arctic, Greenland & Iceland

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Canadian Arctic, Greenland, and Iceland form one of the world's most dramatic high-latitude travel corridors, spanning vast tundra, towering icebergs, glaciers, and remote fjords. The Canadian Arctic is home to indigenous Inuit communities, polar wildlife including polar bears, narwhals, and Arctic foxes, and the legendary Northwest Passage. Greenland, the world's largest island, draws adventurers with its enormous ice sheet, dramatic coastline, and ancient Norse and Inuit heritage. Iceland anchors the route with its volcanic landscapes, geothermal hot springs, the Northern Lights, and a well-developed infrastructure that makes it a gateway for exploration further north.

Self-Launched Canadian Arctic & Northwest Passage Expedition

This is the self-launched equivalent of Exodus's 20-day Canadian Arctic: Wildlife, Helicopters & the Northwest Passage cruise. The honest truth: this is one of the hardest itineraries in the world to replicate independently. The Northwest Passage, Baffin Island fjords, and High Arctic landings are almost exclusively accessible via expedition cruise — no public transport, no budget hostels, no shared buses exist up here. However, a self-launched traveller can piece together a comparable Arctic experience using independent expedition cruise operators (who offer significantly better cabin-class value), open booking small-ship voyages, and by flying into Reykjavík and Iqaluit independently rather than paying for a charter flight package. We've based costs on the most affordable cabin tier (triple/quad share berths) on comparable small-ship Arctic operators such as Albatros Expeditions, Oceanwide Expeditions, or Quark Expeditions, booked directly or via early-bird deals. Savings come from skipping the Exodus mark-up on the charter flight package, booking your own Reykjavík accommodation, and selecting open-booking departures on partner vessels rather than Exodus-exclusive charters. All cost estimates are approximate.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.
