2017 Expedition Season
Adventure Canada Announces 2017 Expedition Season in Most Beautiful Catalogue to Date
Just in time for the summer sailing season, Adventure Canada is proud to announce the launch of a new brochure, highlighting expeditions to the Canadian Arctic, East Coast and Greenland, headlined by the company’ s fabled Northwest Passage departures. Chock-full of superb images from a talented roster of award-winning photographers, the Expeditions 2016 & 2017 brochure is the leading Arctic and Maritime expedition company’ s most beautiful yet.
To embrace Canada’ s 150th Anniversary in 2017, Adventure Canada has created a sailing season which celebrates its specialty: Canada’ s most remote, pristine, and wild places.
Building on the impending 2016 season, the 198-passenger Ocean Endeavour will once again start its summer journey in Quebec City in 2017. The season begins with the Mighty Saint Lawrence voyage, one of National Geographic Traveller’ s 50 Trips of a Lifetime. Next is the Sable Island expedition, the only travel itinerary featuring the mysterious 42-kilometre sand island off the coast of Nova Scotia. The Ocean Endeavour will then circumnavigate Newfoundland before sailing north up the coast of Labrador to Greenland. Explorations of the Inuit hamlets of Baffin Island and coastal Greenland follow, as with sailing to Nunavut’ s northernmost National Parks and wildlife havens— all hallmarks of Adventure Canada’ s programming. The season finishes with two sailings of the company’ s Canadian Signature Experience, The Northwest Passage.
