The comedian boards a Russian cruise ship to make an eight-day trip through the Northwest Passage and visit the sites where explorers have lived and died. Stopping off on Beechey Island, where Victorian naval officer John Franklin was stranded for two years, Billy moves on to Gjoa Haven, a settlement on King William Island where Roald Amundsen stayed 50 years after Franklin's expedition. He then heads south to Dawson City, the site of a gold rush in the late 19th century
