The cruise at a glance

The Olsen Way Highlights

This voyage takes you off the beaten track to remote destinations, where you can gain an insight into the local way of life while capturing unspoilt scenery and elusive wildlife. Your cruise has been timed to encounter the world's largest population of humpbacks off Newfoundland, which you can search for with the help of wildlife charity ORCA. You may also be lucky enough to spot a polar bear climbing the rocky islands of Nunavut. Geological wonders await your discovery, too, from Iceland's geysers and waterfalls to Greenland's glaciers and icebergs. Elsewhere, you can uncover societies shaped by emigration, such as Nova Scotia with its Scottish heritage and the Viking archaeological site of L'Anse Aux Meadows.

Highlights

Whale breaching out of the water

Marine mammals of the Arctic Waters with ORCA

Join your on board ORCA team on deck as they go in search of whales and other marine mammals, as they provide assistance on how to spot different cetacean species. Grab your binoculars and look out for pilot whales as you cross the Atlantic, or as you near Newfoundland & Labrador, you may have the opportunity to see humpback whales as the area is known to have the world’s largest population. 

Traditional Newfoundland and Labrador fishing stages.

Irish heritage in Newfoundland


In the early 1800’s, thousands of immigrants from the southeast of Ireland settled in Newfoundland and Labrador. Spend time with local multi-award winning fiddler Kelly Russell as he plays, and tells stories of his life; before taking a tour to Logy-Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove – a town just ten minutes from St. John’s, to learn the famous story of Irish emigrant fisherman Luke Ryan who wanted to build a fishing room in 1818.
