Activity options vary depending on destination and operator. Activity level is determined by the range and intensity of activities you choose to participate in. Discuss with your Trip Planner which options are best for you.
Welcome to St. John’s, the historic and lively capital of Newfoundland. As the ship departs from the harbor, Signal Hill stands tall, overlooking the world-famous Narrows. Colorful houses in the Battery district create a picture-perfect scene. Keep an eye out for whales and seabirds as you begin your journey!
Discover Saint-Pierre, one of the last remaining French territories in North America. Stroll through the town’s colorful streets, where charming shops and homes reflect its rich history and unique character.
Enjoy authentic French cuisine, fine wines, and stylish boutiques. Be sure to visit local cafés and bakeries, where freshly made pastries and sweets are always a favorite. Just a short sail from Newfoundland, Saint-Pierre offers a true taste of Europe in the heart of the Atlantic.
The First Nations community of Miawpukek became a permanent settlement sometime around 1822. Before then, it was one of many semi-permanent camps used by the Mi'kmaw people—who had traditionally traveled nomadically throughout the east coast of Canada.
Since its establishment as a reserve in 1987, Miawpukek has successfully bridged traditional knowledge and contemporary practice. You'll receive a formal welcome from local leaders and have a chance to explore this special community.
The wild and windswept coast of southern Newfoundland is home to a few remaining outport communities. Experience the warm hospitality and adventurous spirit of Francois, Newfoundland—a quaint and picturesque fishing village, with colorful homes and buildings that offer visitors a glimpse into Newfoundland's coastal lifestyle.
Explore the town, and hike to stunning lookout points and waterfalls. A day in Francois stimulates your soul and reminds you of the importance of good neighbors, stories, and music.
After a day of adventure, head to the community hall for an oversized kitchen party with treats, drinks, and dancing. Rediscover a bit of your own spirit, through the essence of Newfoundland's culture in this charming and resilient community.
There are many choices of unique bays and coves to explore via Zodiac or land excursions. Along the coast, the geology is outstanding, and the plant life is gorgeous. You’ll be on the watch for wildlife, too. You’ll make the most of every chance to explore this beautiful and remote coast.
Gros Morne National Park's Tablelands, a six-hundred-meter plateau, forms one of the world’s best examples of the exposed mantle. Normally found below the Earth’s crust, the mineral-rich rocks support very little life, making the Tablelands an eerie landscape.
You'll offer various walking and hiking options here. Views of Bonne Bay are spectacular. Gros Morne’s interpretation centre is excellent and the town of Woody Point is a delight to explore.
The Red Bay Basque Whaling Station became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2013. Basque whalers operated out of the Red Bay harbor in the 1500s: North America’s first export industry.
The interpretation center at Red Bay is excellent. Here you find tools, personal items, and navigational instruments recovered from the wreck of the whaling ship San Juan. The ship was lost in a storm in 1565 and found centuries later submerged in the harbor. You'll visit nearby Saddle Island to learn the history of the whaling industry.
L’Anse aux Meadows, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the only authenticated Norse settlement in North America. The archaeological remains found here in 1960 date to approximately 1000 CE. Amazingly, the location was first established by a close reading of the Viking sagas.
Today, a superb interpretation center and several reconstructed Norse-style sod buildings make L’Anse aux Meadows a must-see for any visitor to Newfoundland and Labrador.
The northeast coast of Newfoundland is known for the dozens of picturesque villages that dot its rocky shores, and you’ll find a harbor in one of these unique communities. Look forward to a characteristically warm Newfoundland welcome upon arrival. Photographers have their work cut out for them, capturing all the special charm of classic island communities and stunning coastlines.
