Canada’s East Coast Expedition Cruise

We’ll visit many of the East Coast’s most scenic points of interests to discover wildlife, fascinating landforms, and vibrant living cultures. From the iconic sand dunes of Sable Island where the famed ponies roam freely to the large bird colonies at Bird Island and the Bald Eagles and resident deer at Anticosti Island, we’ll marvel at the variety of marine and land wildlife as we explore on foot and by Zodiac.

We’ll delve into many cultural highlights. On Prince Edward Island, we contemplate the history of Confederation. On the rugged Magdalen Islands archipelago, we’ll explore Acadian culture. And at St-Pierre and Miquelon, we consider the vestiges of France’s once formidable North American territory.

The landscapes and seascapes include some of Eastern Canada’s most iconic places; Gaspé’s Percé Rock, Newfoundland’s famed Gros Morne National Park, and Francois’s spectacular fjord. Our autumn visit coincides with the spectacular fall colours of the Martimes.

Our expedition vessel is the beautiful S/V Klara, a three-mast schooner, purposefully designed and built for expedition cruising. Reminiscent of iconic fishing vessels like Bluenose (a symbol of Nova Scotia), she is a true sailing ship that combines vintage charm with modern amenities. Welcoming a maximum of 36 guests aboard, this recently refurbished vessel provides comfort and a feeling of warmth during our journey.
