The cruise at a glance

The Olsen Way Highlights

Visiting destinations picked for their natural beauty, you will have opportunities to go ‘leaf peeping’ as the colours of the Canadian landscape turn to the famous fall hues of brown, yellow and red. With five days in Québec province, you can capture the changing colours at the Jacques-Cartier and La Mauricie national parks. There will also be a scenic cruise along the Saguenay River so you can appreciate fjord-like landscapes from the comfort of Borealis. Corner Brook is well-placed for you to explore the woodland trails surrounding the town; while St John’s, renowned for its friendly locals, offers the chance to ramble Newfoundland’s coastal trails or visit Cape Spear lighthouse.

Highlights

Colorful Autumn forest in La Mauricie National Park, Quebec, Canada

Fall Colours – an incredible natural phenomena

 

This exploration of Canada has been created to perfectly coincide with the landscapes changing to the famous fall colours of brown, red and yellow. Known locally as ‘leaf peeping’ season, the forest canopies will be awash with fiery colours in what is truly a magical natural phenomena. For the best views and to walk among the crunchy leaves, be sure to tour to one of the National Parks which surround the cities. You'll be jonied on board by Marlis Butcher, the first visitor to all 48 Canadian national parks, who will introduce guests to some of the parks you will encounter on the cruise.

Cruising the Saguenay River

 

Borealis will traverse the Saguenay River at the most beautiful time of year. Take your place on deck to see the woodlands and forests that flank the river banks in the most beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow. Alternatively you can join your entertainments team in the Observatory for scenic cruising commentary.

Cultural heritage

 

Canada has a rich culture, with French influences in the Quebec region of the country; and Irish and Scottish in Newfoundland. In Quebec City, settlers originally came to build a fur trade, but the Iroquois believed the French were bringing illnesses with them; so King François I sent Jacques Cartier to Canada - where he established a French presence that still thrives today. Many Newfoundlanders are of Irish descent as they originally came to Canada in the 17th century for the fish trade. Irish immigrants arrived during the Great Potato Famine in the 1800’s, and settled in St. John’s, where there were many opportunities for work. As a result, Irish culture is found in abundance in some parts of the province and it has been dubbed the "most Irish place outside of Ireland”. You'll be joined by Dale Wells on this cruise, who works at the historic L'Anse Aux Meadows site; so will be able to tell guests about the history of the area and what life is like living in Newfoundland.
