Where Is Safarigal?
Day 14
August 17th, 2026 Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canada Cambridge Bay is our final port in Canada. We were due to arrive at 1:00 PM so I was surprised when I woke up this morning to see we were already there. The town looked a lot more developed than Gjoa Haven. The captain…
Day 13
August 16th, 2026 Jenny Lind Island, Nunavut, Canada I wonder if anyone has done research on how the islands around here were named. Many were obviously named for British royals and dignitaries, but I am intrigued as to how a Swedish opera singer made the cut. Anyway…
Day 12
August 15th, 2026 Gjoa Haven, Nunavut, Canada We had a lazy morning watching the Arctic go by from the warmth and comfort of the Constellation Lounge. I decided it was time to try out the pain au chocolat from Seabourn Square for my mid-morning snack. I was pleased to…
Day 11
August 14th, 2026 Northwest Passage In the morning they announced that there were bow head whales on our starboard side. I was very excited. I have never seen one before – which could be related to the fact I have never been in this region before. They tend to hang…
Day 10
August 13th, 2026 Northwest Passage Blaney Bay Our Image Masters Zodiac ride set off at 6:30. It was already a bright sunny morning. The ship was right next to an amazing glacier. We weren’t the first off the ship, the kayak leaders were already out checking weather…
Day 9
August 12th, 2026 Philpot’s Island and Devon Island Today we had our first Zodiac rides (well apart from when we embarked on the ship) and our first wet landing. As only 100 people are allowed on shore at any one time, and to prevent crowding in the mudrooms while we…
Day 8
August 11th, 2026 Pond Inlet, Baffin Island, Nunavut I had looked up Pond Inlet and had failed to find much that would make it exciting for tourists, or even folks on expeditions. It had been a mystery to me as to what adventure could lay ahead for us there. All was…
Day 7
August 10th At Sea (Baffin Bay) I went up to the Constellation Lounge to do some work this morning. This is the equivalent of the Observation Bar or Commodore Club on other ships. It is where I like to hang out and work on sea days. Horrors, by 9:00 AM all of the…
Day 6
August 9th, 2026 Sisimiut, Greenland Our final port in Greenland was Sisimiut, with a population of 5,500 it is the 2nd most populated city in Greenland. The town itself is built on several rocky outcrops so getting around involved quite the work out. We decided to do…
Day 5
August 8th, 2026 Ilulissat, Greenland Last month Brian and I were watching YouTube videos about the ports we will be visiting. The first video that came up was one of a giant iceberg collapsing. We dismissed this as being AI generated, and moved on to the next video….
Day 4
August 7th At Sea (Baffin Bay) They should always give you a sea day on your first day of a cruise. It gives you time to work out where you put everything when you unpacked in haste the previous night, sort your cabin out, and get an idea of what the ship is like….
Day 3
August 6th, 2026 We had an early morning. We had to leave our suitcases outside our hotel room door by 6:00 AM. I demanded that they be left outside way before 6:00 as I didn’t want them to miss the boat. The next time we will see them is in our cabin, but by that…
