After seeing the polar bears and beluga whales in the Hudson Bay, we decided to visit them (and hopefully musk ox, narwhals and other whales) on a cruise aboard the Scenic Eclipse. We love this cruise in that it visits the west coast of Iceland and both the east and west coasts of Greenland on a small expedition ship which holds a maximum of 228 guests. We have space held on both 2026 and 2027 with significant discounts if booked by Oct 31, 2025 and plan to escort the 2026 sailing.
