River cruises in arctic summer

The rugged terrain, extreme climate, and flourishing wildlife of Northern Canada have whispered promises of adventure to centuries of international explorers and tourists. Take an arctic river cruise through the Yukon. The most western of Canada’s three territories first lured fur traders and then prospectors when the Klondike Gold Rush brought thousands a week to try their luck in the late 1800s. Today tourists looking for the unspoiled natural splendor Yukon offers can try a one-of-a-kind vacation experience on the Yukon River with The Great River Journey.

Northern Canada’s unique river travel experience

A unique partnership between aboriginal groups, private enterprise, and the Yukon government has resulted in a one-of-a-kind safari along the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Dawson City. Passengers will get to follow in the footsteps of early adventurers as they travel aboard a 45-foot deluxe river craft, then view the river from the air with an unforgettable hour of travel in a floatplane.

Spirit of adventure

Frequent stops on the Journey give plenty of opportunity to view wildlife, explore the untamed wilderness area, visit historical or geological points of interest, or try a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, or All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) riding. Overnight stays in rustic lodges built to carefully echo the ambience of Yukon’s rich past as well as delicious gourmet meals compliment the challenges encountered during the day.
