Reykjavík TO Toronto, Ontario

In the Wake of the Vikings, from Iceland to Canada
No Single Supplement
Set sail on an enchanting odyssey from Iceland to Canada, where nature reveals its boundless beauty. Fall under the spell of the unspoiled landscapes of Greenland, a wild setting with shimmering glaciers and silent fjords, before crossing the spectacular Prins Christian Sund, a legendary passage framed by dramatic scenery. In Newfoundland, L’Anse aux Meadows recalls the earliest Viking explorations, while Woody Point and the wind-battered shores reflect the raw power of the Atlantic coast.

 Havre-Saint-Pierre marks your arrival on the Côte-Nord, before the majestic St. Lawrence River carries you towards Saguenay and Tadoussac, where summer reveals the full richness of the fjord offering verdant cliffs and whale-filled waters.  Finally, Quebec City, Montreal and Toronto reveal the vibrant elegance of Canada, a land of heritage and wide open spaces.

Itinerary is subject to change according to port authorizations and government regulations. We are privileged guests in these remote lands where we are at the mercy of weather, ice, tidal and current conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed.

They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the crew will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the AECO of Greenland. ?
