The Fabled Transit

A rare and monumental voyage through history

From the 16th century onward, the quest for the Northwest Passage was an unrelenting obsession for many adventurers and explorers. Since 1576, when the swashbuckling Frobisher made the first attempt, ship after ship searched for the fabled northern route to the Orient. Three hundred years later, Roald Amundsen triumphantly succeeded. Beginning where Amundsen's triumph concluded, you participate in a journey that only a few ships have accomplished since.
