A different kind of river cruise

Take an historic 600-kilometre path through wilderness territory in Canada’s far north that is unlike any other river cruise. The Great River Journey is a new take on a centuries old water route for fur traders and prospectors looking to strike it rich during the Klondike Gold Rush. First Nations peoples, private business, and the provincial government of Yukon Territory have worked together to bring select groups of travelers aboard a 45-foot vessel appointed with luxury amenities to enjoy a unique and exciting cruise.

Captivating journey

This safari from Whitehorse to Dawson City follows a route through arctic terrain that is simply stunning. Travelers will be able to leave the vessel to investigate wilderness areas as well as historical and geological attractions along the way. Creatures to watch for include bears, bison, deer, and moose. A guide will help to broaden the group’s understanding of the areas explored and a portion of the trip will be made on a floatplane for an aerial view of the route.

Rest and relaxation with a northern touch

Yukon’s pristine wilderness environment is a natural playground for outdoor activities. There are places to cycle, fish, canoe, kayak, fish, or ride horses. Travelers may also opt to enjoy the view at Miles Canyon or partake of the mineral waters at Takhini Hot Springs. There are many opportunities for fun and leisure with something to suit every taste.
