ITINERARY
Day
1: St. John’s, NL, Canada
Welcome
to St. John’s—Newfoundland’s historic,
vibrant capital. Sailing out of the port of St. John’s,
Signal Hill keeps watch as we exit the world-famous Narrows. The
charming houses of the Battery are always a hit with shutterbugs. Watch
for whales and seabirds as we sail!
Day
2–3: The Northeast Coast
The
northeast coast of Newfoundland is known for the dozens of picturesque
villages that dot its rocky shores, and we’ll find harbour in
one of these unique communities. We look forward to a
characteristically warm Newfoundland welcome upon our arrival.
Photographers will have their work cut out for them, capturing all the
special charm of classic island communities and stunning coastlines.
Day
4: L’Anse aux Meadows
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 centre and several reconstructed Norse-style sod
buildings make L’Anse aux Meadows a must-see for any visitor
to Newfoundland and Labrador.
Day
5: Red Bay
The
Red Bay Basque Whaling Station became a UNESCO World Heritage site in
2013. Basque whalers operated out of the Red Bay harbour in the 1500s:
North America’s first export industry. The interpretation
centre at Red Bay is excellent. Here we 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 harbour. We'll visit nearby Saddle Island to
learn the history of the whaling industry.
Day
6–7: Gros Morne National Park & Woody Point
Gros
Morne National Park's Tablelands, a six-hundred-metre plateau, form one
of the world’s best examples of exposed mantle. Normally
found below the Earth’s crust, the mineral-rich rocks support
very little life, making the Tablelands an eerie landscape. We will
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.
Day
8–9: Southern Coast
The
wild and windswept coast of southern Newfoundland is home to a few
remaining outport communities. Visits here are often a highlight of our
journey. 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. We’ll be on the watch for
wildlife, too. We’ll make the most of every chance to explore
this beautiful and remote coast.
Day
10: Miawpukek (Conne River)
The
First Nations community of Miawpukek became a permanent settlement
sometime around 1822. Before then, it was one of many semi-permanent
camping sites used by the Mi'kmaw people—who had
traditionally travelled nomadically throughout the east coast of
Canada. Since its establishment as a reserve in 1987, Miawpukek has
successfully bridged traditional knowledge and contemporary practice.
We will receive a formal welcome from local leaders and have a chance
to explore this special community.
Day
11: Saint-Pierre, France
Explore
Saint-Pierre, a last bastion of France’s colonial territories
in North America. The colourful and charming shops and residences of
the town of Saint-Pierre reveal its unique historical character. French
food, wine, clothing, and culture are all on offer here. The sweets at
the local cafes and bakeries are in high demand. Saint-Pierre offers a
taste of European living, just a short sail from the coast of
Newfoundland!
Day
12: St. John’s, NL, Canada
On
the final day of our expedition, we sail back through the Narrows and
into St. John’s harbour. We will say our farewells and the
expedition team will be on hand to assist you with luggage and
transportation arrangements.
