Send them on a Global Warming Research ship. Make sure it is a
sailing vessel, so that they don't have to worry about carbon
credits.
Better yet, send them south by galley.

They could always explore the Northwest Passage, which is opening up
for the first time since Viking days:

"Before the Little Ice Age, Norwegian Vikings sailed as far north and
west as Ellesmere Island, Skraeling Island and Ruin Island for hunting
expeditions and trading with the Inuit groups who already inhabited
the region."

And they won't need a lot of extra gear, as they know that Global
Warming is melting the ice caps.

They could recreate the famous Franklin Expedition.
