Hapag-Lloyd's Hanseatic to Cruise Northwest Passage, Kamchatka

 
Hapag-Lloyd’s Hanseatic will explore the rarely traveled Northwest Passage and Kamchatka this year. The Northwest Passage itinerary will depart Kangerlussaq, Greenland, on Aug. 16 for a 24-day voyage to Nome, Alaska.

Planned highlights include a visit to a former whaling base in Herschel Island; a landing in Cambridge Bay on Victoria Island, including a visit to the wreck of the Maud, in which Roald Amundsen conquered the Northwest Passage; Zodiac landings in Peel Sound, the Franklin Strait and Larsen Sound; and a stop in Barrow, Alaska, the most northern city in the world.

This voyage takes guests along the “Pacific Ring of Fire” to Japan’s northern islands, through the Kuril Islands and along the Kamchatka coast.

The 19-day cruise will be bilingual, from Nome to the Chukchi Peninsula, Kamchatka, the Kuril Islands, the Japanese islands of Hokkaido and Sakhalin and Yokohama, Japan.

Highlights of this cruise include the following optional shore excursions: a helicopter flight over the Kamchatka volcanoes, a visit to the remote fishing village of Meynipilgino, a drive up to the Avacha Volcano in Kamchatka, and a walk around Atlasova, an uninhibited island with the biggest active volcano of the Kuril Islands. Fares start at $12,240 per person, double occupancy shore excursions are offered at an additional price,
