Description

PONANT brings you a 9-day itinerary to Canadian lands, aboard Le Champlain. You’ll embark on an all-new cruise, sailing along the Saint Lawrence River, between natural sites and urban landscapes.

A little piece of France located off the coast of Canada, the Saint Pierre and Miquelon archipelago has many charms. You will board your ship on the lively island of Saint Pierre, with its small houses with coloured facades and its natural harbour which sheltered many fishing boats in the past.

Further on, you will reach Percé, one of the most scenic villages of Quebec, close to a National Park famed for its natural, historical and geological heritage.

Your ship will then sail into the Saint Lawrence river, a prodigious waterway home to exceptionally beautiful nature, before you reach Tadoussac. This National Park is also an unmissable site for whale watching as the mammals gather to feed before winter.

You will also call at two emblematic cities in the province of Quebec: Quebec City, for its historic district listed with UNESCO, home to ramparts and churches, and Montreal for its liveliness and its cultural vibrancy. s

To round off your cruise, you will sail along the shimmering waters of Lake Ontario before making your way to the cosmopolitan city of Toronto, where you will disembark.

In addition, at the marine mammal interpretation centre, you can hone your knowledge of the cetaceans that regularly frequent Tadoussac bay.
