The Ten-Day Coastal Adventure Features the Best of Eastern Canada's Wildlife and History
National Geographic Traveler recently released its tenth annual
'50 Tours of a Lifetime,' a curated list of the best-guided trips offered by today's top adventure tour operators around the globe. This year's collection includes
Adventure Canada's Mighty Saint Lawrenceexpedition cruise, an incredible voyage that begins in historic Québec City and travels down seaway to the French territory of Saint-Pierre. Travellers will search for beluga and blue whales in Saguenay Fjord, hike Anticosti Island, photograph the famous red cliffs of the Magdalen Islands, and discover the rich geological and natural histories of the region. The expedition departs June 14, 2015.
"It is a great privilege to be included in National Geographic Traveler's 50 Tours of a Lifetime in 2015," said
Cedar Swan, CEO of Adventure Canada. "We've worked hard to curate an incredible team that will enhance the rich natural landscape and history that played such a key role in formation of Canada. We're thrilled to help shine the spotlight on Quebec's Maritime region and we look forward to connecting our guests to the people, culture, and natural wonders of this region for years to come."
Sailing down the nation's historic waterway, the 198-passenger Ocean Endeavour
introduces guests to the best of la belle province. Accompanied by an expert team of expedition leaders - as well as renowned naturalists, historians, artists, and photographers - travellers will discover seldom-visited coastal communities by Zodiac, accessing remote areas unreachable by car or large cruise ship.
Featured activities include visits to bird nesting colonies, whale-watching, trekking through national parks, sampling French wine and cheese in Saint-Pierre, and learning about the region's French and aboriginal heritage. Adventure Canada also debuts its new photography programming aboard the Mighty Saint Lawrence expedition, including interactive workshops with Fujifilm photographers Billy Luong and
Dan Bailey.
