Book flights to Cambridge Bay

Cambridge Bay is located on the southeastern coast of Victoria Island, Nunavut, Canada. The traditional Inuinnaqtun name for the area is Iqaluktuuttiaq, meaning "good fishing place," and for good reason - the Ekalluk River, which flows nearby, is famous for its giant char. The community is the administrative and service centre for the Kitikmeot Region, and is also a major stop for ships travelling through the Northwest Passage. Cambridge Bay offers visitors the chance to experience the culture of the Inuit people, go fishing, or go wildlife watching - polar bears, muskoxen, and caribou are all found in the area. Because of its location north of the Arctic Circle, Cambridge Bay experiences a polar climate with long, cold winters and short, cool summers.
