The only passenger ship that has transited the Northwest Passage commercially is Crystal Serenity, in 2016.

The deepest-drafting passenger ship in active service is Queen Mary 2, at 10.3 metres (33 ft 10 in). That's why she can't enter many smaller cruise ports — she physically cannot sit at their berths.
