Hurtigruten are offering "the ultimate 2023 full transit of the North West Passage". It's a 24 night voyage on the MS Roald Amundsen sailing from Nome, Alaska through the North West Passage and Davis Strait to Greenland, and ending at Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Prices start from £16,000 pounds for a Polar Outside cabin rising to £33,000 for an Expedition XL Suite with Balcony. And to think that the British government offered a £20,000 reward in 1850 "to any party or parties, of any country, who shall render efficient assistance to the crews of the discovery ships under the command of Sir John Franklin."

I shall have to start saving today!
