As the luxury cruise liner Crystal Serenity embarks on her second historic transit through the Northwest Passage, a team from the Fisheries and Marine Institute (MI) of Memorial University of Newfoundland is once again preparing for the important roles they’ll play onboard its escort ship during the 32-day voyage.
The escort ship will take the Crystal Serenity through the passage, providing logistics support, research capabilities and ice-breaking assistance as necessary.
