This ten-day voyage usually takes place in late September, on a 90 passenger ship. The cruise begins in St. John's, North America's oldest port. Passengers will be accompanied by a team of naturalists, historians, photographers, musicians and local area experts. These special guests will educate you about where you are and what you're seeing, the cultural and geological history of this remote part of the world. From St. Johns the ship travels to Fogo Island, Battle Harbour, Gros Morne National Park, Bay of Islands and around the southern coast of Newfoundland. The trip ends with a sunset cruise past the cliffs of Cape St. Mary's.
