Sable Island Cruise
From: $2,500 CAD
Out in the open Atlantic, just beyond Nova Scotia’s curve, lies a slender crescent of sand shaped by wind, water, and time. This is Sable Island—a world apart, where wild horses roam free, grey seals gather by the thousands, and rare birds like the Ipswich sparrow make their only home on Earth. Long known to mariners as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, Sable’s story is one of survival, science, and resilience—its dunes and sea winds whispering the tales of centuries past.
Our voyage begins in colourful St. John’s, Newfoundland, before setting sail into open waters rich with seabirds, whales, and dolphins. In collaboration with Parks Canada, we’ll have the rare privilege of exploring this remarkable national park with care and respect. Step ashore by Zodiac (weather permitting) to wander shifting dunes, watch horses crest the ridges, and listen to the music of the sea. Learn from naturalists and historians who bring to life Sable’s human and ecological heritage—from shipwrecks to life-saving stations to today’s conservation efforts.
The journey concludes in Saint-Pierre, France’s last foothold in North America—a cultural gem of cobbled streets, cafés, and island charm. Thoughtfully paced and ethically guided, this expedition offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience one of the planet’s most extraordinary and fragile landscapes.
