Silver Wind: 14-Night from Iqaluit - August 16, 2026

With roughly 6 hours hours in Lower Savage Islands, Canary Islands - arriving at 7:00 am and departing at 12:30 pm - you'll want to be strategic.

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

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Wind means a quicker disembarkation in Cape Dorset, Canada - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.
