An Inuit-owned company in Canada is starting a cruise line business to take tourists around the Arctic.
The 66-passenger ice-class ship will set sail this summer. The tours will include communities in Nunavik, the Inuit region of northern Quebec.
Money to start the Cruise North Expeditions came a compensation fund for Inuits displaced by a huge hydroelectric project.
