Mighty Cruise Ships: Ocean Endeavor: Voyage to the Northwest | Season 2 Episode 5 (Full Episode)

Editorial Summary

The Ocean Endeavor conducts a twelve day expedition through the Arctic, traveling from Greenland to the Canadian high Arctic. Led by expedition leader Shosana Jacobs and Captain Dennis Raja, the voyage involves navigating through moving ice, thick fog, and shallow waters. The crew utilizes specialized equipment, including Zodiac boats for passenger transport and advanced sonar and radar for ice navigation. The itinerary faces several challenges, including mechanical flight delays, grounded customs agents in Canada, and massive ice flows that block planned routes. Despite these obstacles, the crew implements alternative plans to ensure passengers experience significant wildlife sightings, such as polar bears and whales. The expedition also includes cultural encounters, such as tasting narwhal, and historical explorations of Beachy Island, the site associated with the tragic Franklin expedition. The journey concludes with passengers reflecting on the extreme environments and the successful management of the unpredictable polar elements.
