Key facts
Overview
A journey shaped by conditions, not a script.
Adventure Canada's Newfoundland Circumnavigation sails round-trip from St. John's aboard Ocean Nova, tracing the island's entire coastline. The route reaches remote outports accessible only by sea, seabird colonies on the Avalon and Bonavista peninsulas, and L'Anse aux Meadows — the only confirmed Viking landfall in the Americas (UNESCO). Onboard musicians, storytellers, and naturalists sail with the voyage. This is Atlantic Europe in expedition dress: dramatic coast, deep history, and a culture shaped by the sea.
Round-trip St. John's — full Newfoundland circumnavigation.
L'Anse aux Meadows Viking site (UNESCO), conditions permitting.
Remote outports and seabird colonies along the Atlantic edge.
Onboard cultural programming — music, storytelling, naturalists.

Planning note
Cabin choice matters as much as itinerary.
Deck height, window size, ship movement, dining style, and guide ratio all shape the expedition. We compare those details before recommending a departure.
