Adventure Canada, a travel agency that's based out of Port Credit, Ontario, offers cruises through Baffin Island -- located in the territory of Nunavut.
The trip's prices start at $5,295 per person and leaves from Ottawa, however Adventure Canada offers a number of other cold cruises as well. Included is the 'Heart of the Arctic Tour,' 'Arctic Safari' and 'Into the Northwest Passage.' During the Baffin Island tour, Adventure Canada journeys through large glaciers and mountains, all during a time of the year when the sun never sets in the area.
This means that passengers can always view their stunning surroundings, which include polar bears and narwhals. As the ocean currents from the Baffin Bay and Lancaster Sound are mixed on the route Adventure Canada takes, the marine life is said to be especially active.
