Set Sail in 2027: Adventure Canada Expeditions Open Bookings for Polar and Celtic Routes

Published on November 22, 2025

Adventure Canada has announced its full lineup of 2027 small-ship expeditions, offering travelers a rare chance to explore some of the world’s most remote and culturally rich coastlines. These carefully curated routes will operate aboard the expedition vessel Ocean Victory, a modern ship designed for navigating icy waterways and rugged northern environments.

The 2027 collection includes brand-new itineraries in Greenland and along the Celtic shores, as well as the company’s signature Arctic programs. For international travelers seeking meaningful exploration, these routes offer deep cultural encounters, pristine natural landscapes, and experiences guided by experts and local knowledge keepers.

New Routes Designed for Curious Travellers

Adventure Canada has introduced two new voyages for 2027. Both are crafted to highlight natural wonders, local culture, and off-the-beaten-path landscapes.

1. East Greenland: Stories of Ice and Light – 14 Days

This itinerary explores the dramatic fjords, colourful settlements, and immense ice systems of Eastern Greenland. Travellers sail from Scoresby Sound toward Nuuk, witnessing towering cliffs, drifting ice, and wildlife that thrives in one of the planet’s most untouched environments.

Guides will share stories from the region’s Indigenous communities, allowing visitors to understand Greenlandic traditions, heritage, and daily life. The long daylight hours of the Arctic summer offer extended viewing of glaciers and ice formations, making this journey ideal for photographers and nature lovers.

2. Ireland & the Celtic Shores – 9 Days

The second new itinerary traces the green and rugged fringes of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It begins and ends in Troon, Scotland, offering an accessible gateway for travellers arriving from around the world.

This voyage is designed for culture-seekers who enjoy coastal villages, ancient sites, and live traditions. Travellers can expect encounters with seabirds, dramatic cliffs, island communities, and centuries-old music and storytelling. The route blends European charm with the leisure of a small-ship journey, making it perfect for travellers new to expedition cruising.

Returning Favorites for 2027

Adventure Canada is also bringing back several well-loved expeditions. These classic journeys highlight the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, and remote coastal areas with deep historical and environmental significance.

Scotland & the Faroes

An early-season voyage showcasing windswept islands, volcanic cliffs, and rich maritime heritage.

Heart of the Arctic

A journey that brings travellers into regions shaped by glaciers, wildlife, Arctic communities, and vast expanses of wilderness.

Baffin Island & Greenland

This itinerary explores the realm of the midnight sun, where bright skies illuminate icebergs, fjords, and seabird colonies.

The Northwest Passage

Adventure Canada continues to operate both “Into the Northwest Passage” and “Out of the Northwest Passage” routes, giving travellers two ways to experience one of the world’s most storied maritime corridors.

Greenland & Wild Labrador

A late-season voyage offering access to the Torngat Mountains, Indigenous homelands, and dramatic coastlines carved by ancient ice.

Ocean Victory: A Modern Expedition Ship

All 2027 itineraries take place aboard Ocean Victory, a ship designed for remote exploration. It carries around 175 guests, ensuring an intimate and personalised travel experience. Every cabin offers ocean views, and many include private balconies.

The ship uses an innovative bow design that improves stability in rough seas and reduces fuel use. It also features technology aimed at minimising environmental impact, aligning with the company’s commitment to responsible and respectful travel.

For travellers who value sustainability, small-group experiences, and expert-led exploration, Ocean Victory offers a comfortable yet adventurous base for Arctic and North Atlantic travel.

Why These Journeys Matter for Global Travelers

Adventure Canada’s 2027 expeditions are more than scenic cruises—they’re immersive travel experiences shaped by nature, culture, and community engagement.

Cultural Immersion

Travellers learn from Inuit guides, local specialists, and community hosts. This creates a bridge between visitors and the traditions, languages, and histories of northern peoples.

Wild Landscapes

From iceberg-studded fjords to remote mountain ranges, these journeys give a front-row seat to some of the planet’s most pristine environments.

Wildlife Encounters

Depending on the route, guests may see whales, polar bears, walrus, seals, seabirds, and migrating species that thrive in cold-water ecosystems.

A Slower, Deeper Way to Travel

With small groups and flexible itineraries, travellers have time to absorb landscapes, connect with communities, and explore coastlines that larger ships cannot reach.

A Perfect Time for Advance Planning

Adventure Canada is offering early-booking savings for most 2027 voyages, making it an ideal time for travellers to plan their next major journey. With routes covering northern Europe, the Arctic, Greenland, and remote Canadian coastlines, the 2027 season invites adventurers to explore far beyond typical tourist paths.

For global travellers searching for meaningful experiences, these expeditions offer a blend of adventure, cultural exchange, and the joy of discovering remote corners of the world—one small ship journey at a time.
