We aren't just another expedition cruise. TRUE NORTH and TRUE NORTH II are purpose-built to unlock remote wilderness areas inaccessible to those bigger ships. Our adventure boats will take you in small groups to experience the wilderness up close and personal. You'll always have the opportunity to do what you want, when you want.
And if you want to see it all from the air? Most of our itineraries include our on-board helicopter for scenic flights. With daily activities including snorkelling, diving, fishing, hiking, picnics, natural history, cultural activities, and more, you get to go where other travellers simply cannot.
