Unique new Canadian river cruises

For an unforgettable Canadian wilderness safari in northern Canada, take the journey of a lifetime on the historic Yukon River with The Great River Journey. This unique Canadian river cruise experience comes from a partnership between aboriginal groups, private enterprise, and the Yukon government is a one-of-a-kind cruise experience with frequent landings to view wildlife and explore the rugged landscape, visit historical or geological points of interest, or rest and relax. Passengers will also be given the rare opportunity for an aerial view of this majestic waterway with a one-hour trip by floatplane from Steamboat Island to accommodations near Fort Selkirk, a heritage site.

Historic adventure, contemporary luxuries

The Great River Journey is an exclusive eight-day safari from Whitehorse, the provincial capital, to Dawson City, the famed destination of prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush. Small groups of 10 will travel the 600 kilometres through the traditional lands of several First Nations peoples, many of whom will be working as hosts and guides during the voyage. Overnight stays in small, private wilderness lodges offer first class luxury. Fine cuisine and traditional foods are served throughout the journey.
