DAY 4: Îles de la Madeleine, Quebec
A cluster of wispy islands isolated in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, the Îles de la Madeleine are home to
miles of dunes, grassy hills, and dazzling red
sandstone cliffs. Local experts will guide us by
Zodiac across this landscape of caves and sea
arches, stopping along the way in colorful fishing
villages as we learn about Acadian culture. Weather
permitting, we will end the day with a bicycle ride.
(B,L,D)
DAY 5: Gros Morne National Park
Graced by cliffs, fjords, and a sweeping alpine
plateau, Gros Morne National Park has been
designated a UNESCO World Heritage site for its
spectacular geology. Go on a variety of walks with
our naturalists along waterfalls, marine inlets, and
forested trails. Learn about the forces that shaped
this land and the ancient serpentine rock that
illustrates the phenomenon of plate tectonics.

DAY 6: L’Anse Aux Meadows
In the World Heritage site of L'Anse aux Meadows,
walk among 11th-century Norse ruins and
reconstructed sod huts and learn the saga of the
Vikings in North America--nearly 500 years before
Columbus arrived. (B,L,D)
DAY 7: Exploring Eastern Newfoundland
Wild, rugged, and often accessible only by sea,
Newfoundland's east coast is dotted with tiny
fishing villages tucked into coves. Explore these
stunning shores by Zodiac and kayak, and gain
insights for our experts into the island's people and
wildlife. (B,L,D)
DAY 8: St. John’s / Disembark
Sail through the harbor narrow in the early morning
as we approach St. John's, the picturesque capital
