The cruise also will feature naturalists, marine biologists, an undersea specialist, a National Geographic photographer and a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor. Rates begin at $13,470 per person, based on double occupancy in a Category 1 cabin. Those who book by Dec. 31 receive complimentary charter airfare from Ottawa to Kangerlussuaq, a value of $1,200 per person.
