Whats the difference between "Into the Northwest Passage" and "Out of the Northwest Passage"?

The Northwest Passage has been a sought-after route for centuries, offering breathtaking scenery, incredible wildlife, and cultural experiences in Canadian and Greenlandic communities.

Adventure Canada offers two distinct ways to experience it, each sailing the Passage in a different direction and at a different time of the season. Into the Northwest Passage sails east to west, earlier in the season, with milder temperatures, vibrant tundra colours, abundant birdlife, rich Inuit community visits, and excellent wildlife viewing in Lancaster Sound. Out of the Northwest Passage sails west to east later in the season, reaching farther north with dramatic fjords and glaciers, snow‑covered landscapes, more time along Greenland’s coast, and the chance to see the Northern Lights.
