Further information
Away from the usual routes, Canada’s sparsely populated east coast is a real insider’s tip. Newfoundland is an open book of eventful history, ranging from the indigenous people and the Vikings to European explorers. Trace the Icelandic/Greenlandic settlers as you explore the excavations at L’Anse aux Meadows independently. Afterwards, you will travel to the remote settlement of Red Bay on the opposite side of Labrador's south coast. With only about 250 inhabitants, the local museum landscape is all the more astonishing and offers you interesting insights into the whaling era. Back on Newfoundland, the small town of Woody Point welcomes you, which is the starting point for various excursions into the hinterland. Hiking in Gros Morne National Park1 between the mountains and coastline also reveals an array of varied sights with table mountains, fjords and lakes.
Havre-Saint-Pierre, a charming coastal village in the Canadian province of Quebec, is a gem for nature lovers. Located on the northern coast of the St Lawrence River, the village is an ideal starting point for excursions to the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve1, known for its impressive limestone monoliths. Enjoy the peace and beauty of the area and admire the diversity of the wildlife both in the forests and on the water. With a little luck, you might spot caribou, whales or seals.
Then a gigantic lifeline stretches before you: the St Lawrence River, North America’s mighty river system between the Atlantic and the Great Lakes at a length of almost 3,000 km (1,864 mi.). As you travel along the river, the experts on board will tell you all about the great history – from the early Woodland period and the First Nations to the current economic significance
The world’s southernmost population of beluga whales lives in the waters off Tadoussac. Where the Saguenay Fjord joins the St Lawrence River, the village of Tadoussac, with its 800 inhabitants, welcomes you. One of the oldest places in Canada, it was settled by Europeans as early as the 17th century. Colourful houses with restaurants and small shops line the main street. Surrounded by green wooded hills, the pace of life here seems to be more relaxed. The proximity to expansive nature, rolling coastlines and the river makes it a popular starting point for outdoor activities1 of all kinds.
Untouched wilderness meets savoir vivre in Quebec. Enjoy the contrasts of the French roots and Canadian sense of freedom on a city walk with tea at Chateau Frontenac1. The 80 m (262 ft) high Montmorency Falls and Ile d’Orleans1 are also something to look forward to.

Greenland
Greenland, the largest island in the world, is a multifaceted treasure trove for explorers. Imposing icebergs drifting through Disko Bay will leave you speechless, as will the contrasts of flourishing tundra and mighty mountain ranges. Inuit settlements such as Sisimiut on the west coast set cultural accents. Pure solitude, on the other hand, can be found in the seclusion of the North-East Greenland National Park, where man is only a marginal phenomenon.
