Sailing cruise along the coast of Quebec
|
|
Cruise aboard the Caledonia on these sailing tours along the coast of Quebec. Affectionately known as la belle province ("the beautiful province"), Quebec is where this historic journey takes place. You begin in the winding cobbled streets of Quebec City, flanked by 17th and 18th-century stone houses and churches, graceful parks and squares, and countless monuments. Unique for its geography, its history and its culture, which together have forged its bold and exuberant identity. The cuisine is also one of Québec's treasures, allowing you to soak in the ambiance while enjoying a croissant and a steaming café au lait. Cruising the gateway to the New World and the second largest river in Canada,
marvel in all the mighty St. Lawrence River which never ceased to fascinate the intrepid explorers, sailors, and colonists who came to know it. Voyage highlights include French Culture, Culinary Experiences, Saguenay Fjord, Untouched Island stops, Kayaking fjords carved out of a glacial valley, Galleries and Museums
and Abundance of Wildlife.

Caledonia, a 245’ square-rigged barquentine, is the largest sailing ship built in Canada in the last 100 years. She is the only sailing Expedition Cruise Vessel of its size offering shipboard coastal adventures in North America. One great advantage of sailing on a smaller ship is the flexibility to change where you go to accommodate new opportunities. Caledonia can accommodate up to 76 guests and a crew of 20 for much more personal service. On a smaller ship you can visit out of the way ports and travel directly to sites of interest rather than seeing the usual big tourist ports. Guest speakers will be aboard to provide insight into the people, places and history of our ports of call. The itinerary is flexible, if there is an opportunity to witness some spectacular wildlife or attend a festival that requires a change to the regular itinerary, your crew can accommodate it. As a working sailing ship, guests are invited to participate in the handling of sails. The professional crew are available to demonstrate and teach a few skills to those who are interested.
