Pasages, Arctic expedition vessel in Northwest Passage, Canada
The Pasages is an expedition vessel that sails through icy waters between the Atlantic and Pacific, following the northern coast of North America through the Arctic Archipelago. The ship provides various cabin types, from basic to comfortable accommodations, allowing passengers to remain aboard during extended journeys through remote regions.
The vessel continues the maritime tradition that began in 1906 when Roald Amundsen completed the first full ship passage through these northern waters. This historic achievement opened the route for later expeditions and established these Arctic waters as a navigable seaway.
The voyages connect visitors with Inuit communities throughout Nunavut, where residents share their traditions and daily practices through demonstrations and direct interaction.
Expeditions operate from August through September, making them suitable for travelers planning visits during the Arctic summer season. Visitors should prepare for limited accessibility and variable weather conditions, as the region remains extremely remote.
Aboard the ship, passengers participate in research projects by collecting data about marine life while observing polar bears, seabirds, and other marine mammals in their natural habitat. This collaboration contributes to scientific understanding of Arctic ecosystems.
