Abercrombie & Kent Founder Geoffrey Kent will host a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in 2022, and guests will have the opportunity to join him as the luxury travel company sails the fabled Northwest Passage.
The journey commences in Montreal, Canada in August 2022 and travels aboard the exclusively chartered luxury expedition vessel l’Austral from Greenland through Canada’s Arctic Archipelago to Nome, Alaska following the legendary sea route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Following in the footsteps of legendary polar explorers over 24 epic days, travellers explore iceberg-laden shores and majestic fjords, visit remote Inuit villages, soak up history in remote trading posts and seek out rare wildlife, all the while marvelling at spectacular geological wonders found only in the far north.
