Before you board
A warm welcome.
An open horizon.
We’ll bring the stories and local knowledge. Bring a little curiosity—and a layer for the sea breeze.
When should I visit?
Icebergs are usually seen from mid-May to late June; whales from mid-June through August. Nature sets the schedule, and sightings are never guaranteed.
What should I bring?
Wear layers, non-slip shoes and a waterproof outer layer. Bring your camera with a secure strap. Early-season days can call for a hat and mittens.
What’s on board?
Open viewing decks, a heated cabin and washrooms. Drinks and light snacks are available to purchase, with Newfoundland music adding to the experience.
What about the weather?
High winds may mean a rescheduled departure. Book early in your visit to leave room for a weather change, and check with the crew before travelling.
A moment worth remembering
“Fun, informative, and the views were spectacular.”
