DETAILS Non-technical project proposal description English: **PLEASE NOTE: All information provided in this application is in addition to the information submitted in application 124679. All activities and other information provided in the original application (other than those items noted below) are still valid for the current year** Between the dates of 15 August - 16 September 2017 Crystal Cruises LLC (hereafter CCLLC) plans to transit the Northwest Passage with MS CRYSTAL SERENITY, who will be carrying an estimated 900-950 guests, 655 crew and approximately 20 expedition staff. Dates within Nunavut are as follows: 2017: 28 August - 03 September (Clearance in at Cambridge Bay / Clearance Out at Pond Inlet) In addition to one stop in the Northwest Territories (Ulukhaktok), the vessel also plans several stops in Nunavut (including the community visits in Pond Inlet and Cambridge Bay as noted above) before proceeding on to Greenland and then to the U.S. Two Canadian Ice Pilots, both very experienced in the Canadian Arctic, and the Northwest Passage in particular, will be aboard to assist the ship’s Master. The vessel will be joined in Ulukhaktok by an ice-breaking escort vessel, the RRS SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON (hereafter ERNEST SHACKLETON), who will escort her through the NW Passage as far as Nuuk, Greenland. Aboard the ERNEST SHACKLETON will be an additional Canadian ice pilot plus approx. 44 support crew and operations staff. For the 2017 voyage the expedition company has changed from Expedition Voyage Consultants Ltd. (EYOS) to Arctic Kingdom Inc. For the 2017 voyage the company has applied to the Canadian Wildlife Service for permits to visit bird sanctuaries on Prince Leopold and Bylot Island. For any visits to protected migratory bird sanctuaries, all passengers will be accompanied by members of Crystal Cruises expedition staff, which includes team leaders, multiple Inuit guides, polar bear monitors, and a number of naturalists and expert lecturers. The proposed activities during these visits include zodiak cruising in the ocean surrounding the Bylot Island Migratory Bird Sanctuary (at the Cape Hay location) and Prince Leopold Island (along the South East cliffs). Visitors to Prince Leopold Island may make landfall in the bay to the West of the South East spit for a short time to launch kayaks (weather dependent) and then return to the water in kayaks. Crystal Cruises would like to offer a select number of guests the opportunity to visit Prince Leopold Island by helicopter (Please see attached document detailing the information for this proposed activity). These guests would land at the research camp and make a short hike out to a viewing spot before returning to the helicopter. Crystal Cruises shore staff will provide interpretation of the sites and ensure that all passengers adhere to strict look but do not touch and leave no trace policies. Crystal Cruises has hired Arctic Kingdom, a Canadian company with 18 years of experience working in the Canadian Arctic, to provide the shore staff for this expedition. Their staff have years of experience traveling in protected areas around the Arctic and are familiar with and will abide by all guidelines any governing agencies have for visits to these sites. Site visits are planned to be between a half day and a full day in length, will take place between August 15th and September 16th, 2017, and may be shortened or cancelled due to bad weather or environmental conditions. The MS Crystal Serenity itinerary has remained the same as was submitted in project application 124679. We have included the two additional bird sanctuary locations on the project map. Please refer to the previous application for full outline of the ships route through Nunavut. French: ** VEUILLEZ PRENDRE NOTE DE CECI : Toutes les informations fournies dans cette demande s'ajoutent à celles soumises dans la demande no. 124679. Toutes les activités et autres informations fournies dans la demande originale (autres que les points ci-dessous) restent en vigueur pour l'année en cours**. Entre les dates du 15 août au 16 septembre 2017, Crystal Cruises LLC (ci-après dénommé « CCLLC ») prévoit traverser le Passage du nord-ouest sur le MS CRYSTAL SERENITY qui transportera entre 900 et 950 passagers, 655 membres de l'équipage et environ 20 membres du personnel d'expédition. Les dates au Nunavut sont les suivantes : 2017 : du 28 août au 3 septembre (formalités d'arrivée à Cambridge Bay formalités de départ à Pond Inlet) Outre un arrêt dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest (à Ulukhaktok), le navire fera plusieurs escales au Nunavut (notamment la visite des communautés de Pond Inlet et de Cambridge Bay notée ci-dessus) avant de continuer sa route vers le Groenland et les États-Unis. Deux pilotes de glace canadiens, tous deux dotés d'une expérience considérable de l'Arctique canadien et particulièrement du Passage du Nord-Ouest, seront à bord afin d'assister le capitaine. Le navire sera rejoint par un brise-glace escorteur, le RRS SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON (ci-après dénommé « ERNEST SHACKLETON »), qui escortera notre navire lors de sa traversée du Passage du Nord-Ouest jusqu'à Nuuk, au Groenland. Un pilote de glace canadien supplémentaire ainsi qu'environ 44 membres de l'équipage et personnel des opérations se trouveront à bord du ERNEST SHACKLETON. Pour le voyage de 2017, nous avons changé de compagnie d'expédition, passant d'Expedition Voyage Consultants Ltd. (EYOS) à Arctic Kingdom Inc. Pour le voyage de 2017, la compagnie a communiqué avec le Service canadien de la faune afin d'obtenir les permis pour visiter les refuges ornithologiques des îles de Prince Leopold et Bylot. Lors des visites dans les refuges ornithologiques protégés, tous les passagers seront accompagnés par des membres du personnel d'expédition de Crystal Cruises, notamment les chefs d'équipe, de multiples guides Inuits, des surveillants d'ours polaires ainsi que d'un certain nombre de naturalistes et de conférenciers experts. Les activités proposées pendant ces visites incluent une expédition en Zodiac dans l'océan autour des Refuges d'oiseaux migrateurs de l'Île Bylot (à cap Hay) et de l'Île Prince Leopold (près des falaises sud-est). Les visiteurs de l'Île Prince Leopold pourraient toucher terre à l'ouest de la pointe sud-est pendant une courte période afin de mettre des kayaks à l'eau (si la température le permet), pour reprendre ensuite la mer en kayak. Crystal Cruises aimerait offrir à un nombre limité de passagers la possibilité de visiter l'Île Prince Leopold par hélicoptère (veuillez consulter le document joint pour des informations détaillées sur cette activité proposée). Ces passagers atterriraient au camp de recherche et feraient une courte randonnée jusqu'à un point d'observation avant de retourner à l'hélicoptère. Le personnel à terre de Crystal Cruise fournira une interprétation des sites et s'assurera que tous les passagers adhèrent aux règles stipulant de ne toucher à rien et de ne laisser aucune trace de leur passage. Crystal Cruises a embauché Arctic Kingdom, une entreprise canadienne avec 18 ans d'expérience dans l'Arctique canadien, afin de lui fournir le personnel à terre pour cette expédition. Leurs employés ont des années d'expérience de voyages sur des aires protégées de l'Arctique ; ils connaissent très bien toutes les règles que pourraient avoir les agences gouvernementales lors des visites sur ces sites, et ils les respecteront. La visite de ces sites devrait durer entre une demi-journée et une journée entière, et aura lieu entre le 15 août et le 16 septembre 2017. Elle pourrait être raccourcie ou annulée en cas de mauvaises conditions climatiques ou environnementales. L'itinéraire du MS Crystal Serenity demeure le même que celui soumis dans la demande de projet 124679. Nous avons simplement ajouté les deux refuges ornithologiques sur la carte du projet. Veuillez vous référer à la demande précédente pour consulter le trajet détaillé du navire au Nunavut.
