5 Enriching Expeditions in Spectacular Locations

©Jen Derbach

Your personal voyage of discovery Explore and learn about new lands and people as you experience the rich culture and fascinating landscapes we sail to. Take the road less travelled and enrich your perspective during visits to communities, natural habitats, and historic sites that can be otherwise difficult to reach.

Our expeditions are designed to be flexible and allow us to make the best of Mother Nature’s conditions. We often make landfall at new places and are able to share new discoveries and local knowledge with you. Your voyage will be marked with thoughtful discussions, expert interpretation, and the spirit of discovery.

Get off the ship, get into a Zodiac! Cruise among icebergs; search for marine mammals; visit an Inuit hamlet; wander remote coastline… simply enjoy the freedom of being out on the water daily! Our goal is to get you off the ship, as often as possible.

Zodiacs free us from the dependency on ports, piers, and other man-made infrastructure. These safe, stable, versatile boats that take you where ©Dennis Minty the action is.

6 Learn from passionate experts Why would an esteemed Canada Research Chair, for example, travel with us on a working vacation? It’s simple: they can’t resist the opportunity to engage, excite, educate, and enlighten you! Make the most of every learning opportunity, aboard and ashore, in geology, botany, marine biology, archeology, photography, cultural history, and more!

Our hand-picked experts are as excited as you are to be on board. Join them on deck searching for wildlife, share daily meals for personal indepth conversations, participate in workshops, attend presentations, and learn on the land. The Adventure Canada team has a deep love for discovery, learning, exploration, and ©Antje Springman growth, and are at your service.

Experience local culture and traditions From Arctic communities to the fishing villages of old New France, to the outports of Newfoundland and Labrador, we embrace local music, dance, food, language, and traditions, everywhere we go!

Expedition travel isn’t just about what you see, or where ©Michelle Valberg you go. It’s who you meet and get to know.

©Dennis Minty

Wildlife encounters Daily excursions with expert guides put you where you are most likely to see wildlife: whales and seabirds in Atlantic Canada; muskox, seals, and polar bears in the high Arctic. Whether viewing on deck, in the Zodiac, or learning during our presentation series, you’ll come away with an appreciation for the fine creatures that inhabit our world. Our best practices ensure the safety and integrity of the wildlife we have the privilege to view.
