Cruise North, Makivik’s most recent venture, showcases Inuit culture and the spectacular scenery and wildlife of the Arctic. The company operates adventure cruises to northern communities and remote locations, starting in St. Johns, going up the coast of Nunatsiavut, through Hudson Bay and Nunavik, up the coast of Baffin Island and through the Northwest Passage.

Cruise North offers enormous potential and also complements corporate objectives to build a sustainable eastern Arctic tourism business. In coordination with First Air, Cruise North operates between 6-8 expeditions a year and brings as many as 600 passengers throughout the summer season for 10-day tours of the Arctic. Cruise North also runs many programs designed to benefit the people of Nunavik, including the Inuit Youth On-Board Trainee Program and the Arctic Clean-Up Mission.
