Niche Ports of Atlantic Canada
Visit Baddeck and Bras d’Or Lake, described as a “basin ringed by indigo hills laced with marble.” Head to St. Andrews and see the former summer home of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Step aboard the tall ship Hector in Pictou. Visit France’s oldest overseas territory at Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, just miles from our shores! Explore North America’s only authenticated Viking settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador. Watch polar bears in their natural habitat in the Torngat Mountains National Park. Whether sailing into Shelburne, Yarmouth, or Lunenburg your cruise to Atlantic Canada will exceed your expectations. Its natural beauty will fill you with awe; its shops and local products will delight you; its galleries, museums, and other attractions will impress you; and the kindness of its people will fill your heart. When your ship leaves port for home, you’ll wonder why you hadn’t visited sooner.
