Baffin Adventure
The 8 day Baffin Adventure in July and August has
a particular focus on spending time at uninhabited
landing sites known for their extraordinary wildlife,
and visits national and territorial parks around the
southern part of Baffin Island by zodiac speed
boats. A flight from Montréal reaches Kuujjuaq
but the exact itinerary remains flexible and is
governed by the state of the weather and the
movements of the ice. Natural highlights of the
cruise include finding polar bears summering on
Akpatok Island and tracking herds of musk oxen
across the islands of Quaqtaq and Diana. Cultural
experiences include the scrimshaw bone carving
of Cape Dorset, known as the world centre for
Inuit art, and Iqaluit, the capital of the territory of
Nunavut, while geological wonders include the
Penny Ice Cap, dating back to the Ice Age.
LYUBOV ORLOVA
This 100 metre ship, renovated in 2006, has a
crew of 63 and can carry up to 122 passengers.
The atmosphere is casual on board, typified by
the ‘open bridge’ policy which means that unless
otherwise advised guests are welcome to visit the
captain’s bridge, day or night to learn about the ship
and talk to the officers. All cabins feature two beds,
private washroom facilities and an external window.
Meals are served three times a day in the restaurant
and refreshments are available at any time. The
well-stocked library offers you a place of relaxation
and a chance to brush up on what to expect at
your next destination, talks on the culture, flora and
fauna of the region are given in the lecture theatre
and there is also a friendly and relaxing bar.
