Silver Wind: 13-Night from Iqaluit - September 13, 2026

Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. A guided drive around the islands is the best way to appreciate their beauty.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Wind means a quicker disembarkation in Lower Savage Islands, Canary Islands - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Walking along the island paths reveals sheer cliffs, lava formations, and panoramic ocean vistas.
