Newfoundland & Labrador Cruise
Visiting unique Ports of Call, and remote Coastal Villages
DAY 1: St. John’s, Newfoundland
Come and join our group today at Pearson
International Airport as you prepare to fly
from Toronto to St. John’s, NFLD. After
arriving at our hotel, the evening is yours to
explore St. John’s on your own or relax in
your hotel.
DAY 2-12: St. John’s
Departing from the picturesque port of St.
John’s we sail northward in the track of
traditional east coast fishermen to call in
at remote outpour villages, historical sites
and protected parklands. Share a laugh
with the colorful locals, and don’t forget
to spend time on deck as we share these
waters with some 22 species of whales,
dolphins and porpoises that come to chase
their food through the plankton and capelin
rich waters. Watch for breaching Humpback
whales as we cruise past the Baccalieu
Island Ecological Reserve, home to some
of the world’s largest colonies of puffins,
storm petrels and gannets. The routing for
this cruise will vary in order, to meet the
needs of our customers and wind current.
Among the places we may visit are: (B,L,D)
L’Anse aux Meadows
The UNESCO world heritage site where
Norsman Leif Ericson is thought to have
founded “Vinland” in 1000AD. As we
explore the reconstructed sod huts and
Norse ruins, we’ll see evidence that the
Vikings discovered North America 500
years before Columbus. (B,L,D)
Red Bay
An ideal natural harbour, and the site of
five Basque whaling stations that operated
between 1540 and 1610. Red Bay National
Historic Site has the world’s only wooden
chalupa, a preserved early Basque whaling
boat. (B,L,D)
Battle Harbour
One of the oldest and most picturesque
communities along Labrador’s south coast.
Once a bustling fishery, it is now abandoned
and silent. Beautifully restored, it provides
Quality Tours You Deserve
a marvelous place to wander and reflect on
how life has changed in such a short period
of time. (B,L,D)
The Wonderstrands
The endless miles of sandy beach are
described in the Viking Sagas. The remote
islands and islets around Man of War
Point are a favoured spot for wildlife, and
the sheltered waters provide numerous
opportunities for zodiac cruises and hikes
on shore. (B,L,D)
Makkovik
Rich in natural and cultural heritage, Makkovik
is surrounded by many offshore islands,
large, deep bays and several major rivers.
We explore the town’s rich combination of
Inuit and settler traditions.The Inuit people,
who have occupied the region for thousands
of years, have a cultural heritage intertwined
with the land and sea. (B,L,D)
Nain
Set on the shores of a scenic inlet, Nain is
the most northerly inhabited community in
Labrador. We take in a cultural performance
and visit with local artisans as our chefs
stock up on fresh seafood from the local
fishery, including scallops, salmon and
Arctic Char. (B,L,D)
Hebron
We sail past the dramatic heights of
towering rock at Mugford Tickle on our
way to Hebron. Inhabited by indigenous
peoples at least 6,000 years ago, Hebron is
the site of a Moravian mission station first
constructed in 1833. The scenery here is
spectacular, as we explore the abandoned
buildings and hike out into the hills.
Torngat Mountains National Park
Reserve
The north coast of Labrador, where the
Torngat Mountain Range raises to more
that 1,800 metres (almost 6,000 feet), is
among the wildest and most magnificent
coastlines in North America. We marvel at
the cascading waterfalls and ancient burial
grounds that dot the shoreline, and take to

Killiniq
Killiniq and the Button Islands mark the
entrance to the Hudson Strait. The ocean
here is rich in nutrients, attracting marine
mammals including polar bears, seals and
several species of whales. Killiniq is the site
of an abandoned Maravian mission and,
until quite recently, was a thriving Inuit
village. It is deserted now save for the many
polar bears that spend their time waiting to
the winter ice to return.
