Exploration along Saint Lawrence
11 nights
Le Lyrial
23 Sep '27Cruise overview
Sail on the magical waters of the Saint Lawrence, where the ocean slowly fades into the river. From the red cliffs of the Magdalen Islands to the spectacular fjords of Newfoundland, via the forests to the north of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence sprinkled with yellow birch, American beech and sugar maple trees, fall under the captivating spell of unique panoramas inhabited by wild fauna: majestic deer, elegant whales and gracious belugas. Set off to discover the Inuit and Innu cultures, and soak up the tales of those who have made these lands their home for centuries.

Itinerary
Saint Pierre
By heading almost due east from Cap-aux-Meules in Canada, it is possible to reach France in about one day’s worth of steaming! With barely 6,000 inhabitants living on tiny St. Pierre, it is the smallest French Overseas Collective. The residents of St. Pierre are predominantly descendants of Normans, Basque and Bretons and the French spoken is closer to Metropolitan French than to Canadian French. Although Basque is not spoken any longer, the influence is still felt through sport and a Basque Festival. Interestingly, this small island has two museums in part dedicated to the Prohibition. The Musée Heritage is St. Pierre’s newest museum with a focus on medical artefacts from the 19th and 20th century. Another claim to fame is a guillotine, the only one ever used in North America. In this quirky village it is easy to find the Post Office; just look for the clock tower shaped like a praying monk.
