12 hamlets expect cruise visits this season now that temporary ban has expired

There’s going to be more traffic in the waters around Nunavut this summer as international cruise ships return to the territory’s shores.

They’re back after a two-year sailing ban on passenger ships and pleasure crafts in Canadian Arctic waters — put in place in March 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the region — expired at the end of February.
