Six Bays of Newfoundland
8 Days ~ 7 Nights
The 7-night Six Bays of Newfoundland
Cruise offers expansive views of largely untamed wilderness filled with
abundant wildlife, magnificent coastal scenery, and a proud, hardy people.
Explore the historic old seaport and capital of St. John's. While in Corner
Brook, discover Gros Morne National Park, a World Heritage Site, with
its fjords, mountains and spectacular ocean scenery; it offers unexcelled
opportunities for sightseeing. Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve is one
of the best and most accessible places in the world to see nesting seabirds,
all of which can be approached on foot, as close as 32 feet away. Known
as the Gateway to Newfoundland, Port Aux Basques has a rich history; this
was a fishing station for the French, Portuguese, and Basques as early
as the 16th century. For railroad enthusiasts, the Port Aux Basques Railway
Heritage Centre offers displays of various rail cars with diesel engines
recalling the story of the Newfoundland railway. Stroll the narrow streets
and quaint shops of charming St. Pierre on a tiny archipelago that is
still governed by France. Travel back in time with a visit to the Musée
Heritage, where more than a century of island life is re-created for you.
For a truly astonishing experience of the isolation and sheer beauty François
has to offer, visit the Friar, a 680-foot rock projection that provides
a bird's eye view of Francois and Chaleur Bay. As you set out in search
of these splendid works of man and nature, immerse yourself in the wonderful
culture unique to this part of the world.
