Following the unveiling of its 2027 voyages aboard Ocean Nova earlier this month, Adventure Canada has now announced its expedition line-up on Ocean Victory, with eight itineraries—including two new expeditions—that explore various points across the Northwest Passage, the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, and the Celtic nations of the North Atlantic.
The two new-for-2027 expeditions aboard Ocean Victory are “East Greenland: Stories of Ice and Light,” a 14-day exploration of Greenland’s eastern coastline from Kangertittivaq (Scoresby Sound), where few ships visit, to the capital city of Nuuk; and the nine-day “Ireland and the Celtic Shores: Wildlife, Culture & Coastal Wonder,” which starts and ends in Troon (Glasgow), circling Ireland, with stops at various islands and along the Welsh coast. These two voyages round out Adventure Canada’s new trips for 2027, which also include two new voyages aboard Ocean Nova—“Ellesmere Island and North Greenland: Journey to the Top of the World,” which goes further north than any previous Adventure Canada expedition, and “High Arctic Expedition: Where Art Meets Land,” a Group of Seven-inspired voyage.
“Complementing our previously announced Ocean Nova line-up, these journeys carry our spirit of exploration forward, with each inviting a deeper relationship with place—where stories, landscapes, and communities meet,” says Cedar Swan, CEO of Adventure Canada. “This holds especially true with our two new expeditions for Ocean Victory—one that traces the ice-carved fjords of East Greenland, and the other the green, music-filled coasts of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Together, they capture the essence of the North Atlantic: vast yet intimate, wild yet profoundly human.”
The two new voyages include:
- “East Greenland: Stories of Ice and Light” (July 20–August 2, 2027) – Sail from Iceland to Greenland’s wild east coast on an expedition that immerses travelers in the raw beauty, deep culture, and powerful stories of the Arctic. This new 14-day voyage traces a path through towering fjords, glacier-carved valleys, and Inuit communities that have thrived amid one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. Featuring Adventure Canada’s trademark combination of adventure, education, and connection, guests explore by Zodiac, walk on the tundra, and learn from Inuit cultural educators and Arctic experts who bring to life the landscapes’ past and present.
- Trip highlights:
- Explore Iceland’s rugged Westfjords by Zodiac and on foot, where the mountains drop straight into the sea and puffins and guillemots wheel over basalt cliffs.
- Sail through Kangertittivaq (Scoresby Sound), the world’s largest fjord system, exploring this seldom-visited landscape by Zodiac and on foot while learning about Inuit life here, connecting past to present in ways no map can capture.
- Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the world’s northernmost communities, where local hosts share stories of their community and connection to the natural world.
- Journey through Ikerasassuaq (Prince Christian Sound), one of the world’s most dramatic waterways where the Irminger and Labrador Seas meet at Greenland’s southern tip.
- Discover traces of Norse culture at Uunartoq and Qaqortukulooq (Hvalsey), once a Norse farmstead.
- End the voyage in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital city and cultural heart of the north.
- “Ireland and the Celtic Shores: Wildlife, Culture & Coastal Wonder” (May 17–25, 2027) – Set sail on an enriching, nine-day expedition that explores the rugged beauty and living legacies of the wild coasts of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Travelling through the heart of the Celtic world where music, myth, and memory shape the rhythm of life, each port offers new perspectives, dramatic landscapes, vibrant culture, and abundant wildlife.
- Trip highlights:
- Sail roundtrip from Troon (Glasgow), tracing storied coastlines shaped by music, story, and salt air.
- Visit the Isle of Man, the world’s first entire jurisdiction designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
- Explore Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in Wales, the UK’s only coastal national park.
- Discover Clear Island (Cape Clear), Ilnacullin (Garinish Island), and the Ring of Kerry, each rich in biodiversity and cultural heritage.
- Visit Killarney National Park, another UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a gem of Ireland’s southwest.
- Explore the Aran Isles—Inis Mór, Inis Meáin, and Inisheer—bastions of Irish language and tradition.
- Experience the artistic community of Toraigh (Tory Island), home to musicians and storytellers preserving Gaelic culture.
- Visit the Giant’s Causeway, where 40,000 interlocking basalt columns rise from the sea in mythic formation.
