Q) What is an expedition cruise in Canada?
A) An expedition cruise is a small-ship voyage designed for adventure and discovery. Unlike traditional cruises, these trips focus on exploring remote and pristine regions such as the Canadian Arctic, Newfoundland and Labrador, or the Northwest Passage, with expert guides leading wildlife encounters and shore landings.
Q) When is the best time to take an expedition cruise in Canada?
A) The best time for Canadian expedition cruises is from June to September, when the ice recedes in the Arctic and wildlife is most active. During this period, you can enjoy milder weather, longer daylight hours, and the chance to see whales, polar bears, and seabirds.
Q) What wildlife can I expect to see on a Canadian expedition cruise?
A) Depending on your route, you may see polar bears, beluga whales, walruses, caribou, arctic foxes, and a variety of seabirds. In coastal regions such as Newfoundland, you may also spot humpback whales, puffins, and icebergs drifting by.
Q) Are expedition cruises suitable for all travellers?
A) Yes, expedition cruises welcome travellers of all ages who have a sense of adventure and an interest in nature and culture. Activities vary in intensity, and many ships provide flexible options for guests with different mobility levels.
Q) Where do expedition cruises in Canada depart from?
A) Common embarkation points include Toronto, Ottawa, and St. John’s (Newfoundland) for Atlantic and Arctic routes, as well as Vancouver for Pacific and Alaska sailings. Your Canada Expert can help arrange connecting flights and hotel stays.
Q) Can I combine an expedition cruise with other parts of Canada?
A) Absolutely! You may wish to combine your expedition cruise with land-based adventures such as visiting Banff and Jasper, exploring Quebec City, or enjoying Vancouver and Victoria before or after your voyage.
