11-Nights Discover Newfoundland & Labrador from $13,695

Explore a Slice of Far-East Canada Where Wildlife & Raw Landscapes Reign

Canada’s most easterly province of Newfoundland and Labrador is indeed a realm of new-found discovery for nature travelers. Its rugged northern landscapes, profuse wildlife, rich history and cultural heritage combine to create a wealth of surprises for adventurers seeking a nature encounter beyond more well-trodden destinations. Here, the world’s largest summer population of humpback whales plies the waters off the Avalon Peninsula, and 35 million seabirds, including huge colonies of Atlantic puffins, nest on the cliffs of myriad islands. Traditional fishing villages dot the coastline and a glacier-scoured landscape showcases rocks from the earth’s mantle and oceanic crust. From the 400-year-old capital of St. John’s, steeped in maritime heritage, to far-flung bays filled with marine life, Newfoundland and Labrador offers new realms for exploration.
