This will / is already having global economic political, social and environmental implications. Sounds like something my idiot (almost to be) son in law would say.

It's settled science, that global warming is causing all the extra ice. (do I need it?)

They are not the only ones. Crystal Cruises “Serenity” is, right now, in the Beaufort Sea above Alaska. It left Seward, Alaska 2 weeks ago and plans to be in New York City on Sept.16th. The 32 day passage through the Northwest Passage is hardly going to be roughing it as this deluxe ship is quite posh(*)! The thing that I do wonder about is if the outdoor pool and spas are getting much use?
While the special preparations for the trip include systems to detect ice, two Canadian ice pilots and an escort ship in case of trouble, some skeptics and conservationist criticize this effort. With up to 1,600 passengers, an emergency evacuation would be a nightmare even with a required $50k insurance on each passenger. The conservationist decry the voyage as being harmful to the delicate environment that the passengers signed up to see!
Lets see if this mild gamble pays off. FYI: (*) Posh was (apocryphal) an acronym for the best accommodations on round trips from England to India [Port Out, Staboard Back] to stay in the shade. With a west-east transit through the Arctic, I wonder if the sunnier, starboard cabins went first?

They will get iced in and require assistance by an ice breaker and an International multi million dollar expenditure before its over.
Remember 6 months ago on the other end of the planet?

Their boat will become a permanent landmark on an iceberg that congeals around it, just like the Russian “research” ship that got crushed in the Antarctic ocean.
