Gulf of St. Lawrence Cruise
8 Days ~ 7 Nights
Newfoundland - Quebec

Discover some of Canada's most majestic scenery as you cruise to ports specifically chosen for their stunningly rich gifts of history and natural beauty. Enjoy a tour of Signal Hill in St. John's, which houses exhibits of Marconi's historic, first-ever transatlantic wireless message, received on the hill in 1901. Known as the Gateway to Newfoundland, Port Aux Basques has a rich maritime history and was a fishing station for the French, Portuguese and Basques as early as the 16th century. More than just a relay station for the ferry, it has both traditional architectural beauty and natural wonders. Nearby in the Codroy Valley, the Grand Codroy River plays host to the greatest variety of birds in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Thousands of migratory birds make the area their home during the spring and fall migration period. The deepwater port of Gaspé is notable for having been the first stop of Jacques Cartier, in 1534, to claim the land for France. The town is proud to have a magnificent stretch of water in Gaspé Bay, and offers Quebec's wildest and most appealing scenery. Take in the sights and sounds of the charming French community of St. Pierre & Miquelon, France's oldest remaining overseas territory. Rimouski's main tourist attraction is the Musée de la Mer, Pointe-au-Pere (Museum of the Sea), which is centered on the Empress of Ireland disaster, that commemorates the most lethal shipwreck in the 20th century after the Titanic tragedy. Browse the local shops for antiques and treasures, or go whale watching on the Saguenay Fjord, one of the longest in the world. Every stop will bring new memories that will last a lifetime.
