Cruise to circumnavigate Newfoundland
|
|
Cruise the most colourful and animated province in Canada: Newfoundland and Labrador! June is an immensely popular and rewarding time for birding, whale watching and iceberg viewing. On this circumnavigation you will bask in the splendor of the natural riches, breath in the fresh sea air and share a yarn with friends along the way. With over 300 different species of birds recorded, Newfoundland and Labrador is an ornithologist’s dream. It’s the home of eagles, hawks, falcons, gannets, ospreys, and puffins – to name just a few. Not only can North Atlantic’s largest gatherings of American bald eagles be found here, but Newfoundland and Labrador has also been referred to as the Seabird Capital of the world, with numbers reaching between thirty-five and forty million annually. The province also has the world’s largest population of Humpback Whales, the most frequently spotted and easily identified of all the whale species in the region. Twenty species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises ply Newfoundland and Labrador’s
waters and hug the coastline. Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the greatest iceberg theatres in the world. The east coast of Labrador to Newfoundland’s southern shore is widely known as Iceberg Alley. Icebergs are a common sight along the coast from March until July. But perhaps Newfoundland and Labrador’s greatest treasure is the warmth of its people, which you will discover as you cruise the shores of this island province.
