Gibbs Fjord, Nunavut

Canada

Introduction to Port

Port Gibbs Fjord, Nunavut stands apart from other cruise ports because its landscape doesn't just frame a voyage—it dominates it. Massive, vertical walls of Sillem Island rise like a natural fortress, 4,000 feet tall, looming over dark, glacial-fed waters between Gibbs and Clark Fjords and transforming every approach into a dramatic encounter with geology in motion. Signature experiences here blend adventure with intimate wonder: zodiac safaris along ice-carved rivers, guided shore walks across ancient bedrock where you can hear the ice melt and the wind in the crevices, and optional vantage moments that reveal the scale of the Arctic above and below the waterline. The destination set centers on Gibbs and Clark Fjords, offering glacial perspectives, tidewater glaciers, and secluded inlets rich with Arctic birdlife and quiet coves that feel almost untouched by time. The fleet features ice-class hulls and expedition-ready designs that balance stability and agility in narrow fjords, paired with nimble tenders and Zodiacs that bring you close to icebergs and shorelines while keeping comfort and safety a priority. Onboard services fuse rugged exploration with refined travel: panoramic observation decks and heated lounge spaces for relax and reflection, onboard naturalists and photo specialists who lead lectures and hands-on workshops, Arctic-inspired dining that highlights fresh regional ingredients, and wellness amenities that keep you warm after chilly excursions. Gibbs Fjord is more than a stop; it’s a gateway to a landscape where the grandeur of nature dwarfs the ship and invites guests to slow down, watch, listen, and capture the essence of Canada’s Arctic coast.
