Canada's East Coast Wildlife Special 11 days
Aboard: Akademik Ioffe
The islands of Canada’s Atlantic coast feature a rich and diverse culture, found in small fishing communities and remote outposts. The area is well known for its Celtic traditions, and its music and cuisine are celebrated the world over. Historically, this is one of the most fascinating places in North America. The region also offers a staggering abundance of wildlife, including prolific birdlife, numerous seal and whale species and we even encounter the fabled wild horses of Sable Island. As we cruise towards the mouth of the St Lawrence River we hope to see the great baleen whales such as the humpback, minke and blue whale, as well as grey and harp seals. Kayaking, biking and stand-up paddleboarding included!
This sailing is also ideal for families with family pricing and special young explorer activity, social and entertainment programmes - please ask for details.
Note: All bookings on voyages that operate domestically within Canada, are subject to a compulsory 5% goods and services tax (GST). This will be added to the cruise price on the confirmation invoice.
