Lassen Sie sich von dieser 16-tägigen Kreuzfahrt an Bord der Le Champlain von Island bis nach Kanada durch die prächtige Landschaft Grönlands erzaubern. Sie gehen in Reykjavík an Bord, der nördlichsten Hauptstadt der Welt, gelegen auf dem 64. Breitengrad.
Zunächst fahren Sie durch den schmalen Prins Christian Sund, der den Süden Grönlands von Ost nach West durchzieht. Berge mit spitzen Gipfeln, Felsen, Wasserfälle und Treibeis bilden eine wunderschöne wilde Landschaft, in der sich Bartrobbenkolonien tummeln.
Nach einer Fahrt vor dem atemberaubenden Gletscher Kujalleq laufen Sie Augpilatok an. Das kleine Inuit-Dorf mit rund einhundert Einwohnern ist mit seinen bunten Häusern typisch für diese Region am Ende der Welt.
Die Le Champlain fährt weiter in Richtung Kanada und legt in L'Anse aux Meadows an, einer archäologischen Wikinger-Fundstätte aus dem 11. Jahrhundert im Norden der Provinz Neufundland, die zum UNESCO-Welterbe zählt. „The Rock“ macht seinem Beinamen alle Ehre: Hier scheinen die Berge in das klare Meer hinabzustürzen, während sich die Fjorde ihren Weg ins Landesinnere bahnen. Das unwirtlich anmutende Gebiet war dennoch einer der ersten Orte der Neuen Welt, die in Europa Bekanntheit erlangten. St. John’s, die Hauptstadt der Provinz, ist eine der ältesten englischsprachigen Städte Nordamerikas. Sie schmiegt sich in eine wunderschöne Naturkulisse und lädt zum Bummel durch die steilen Gassen zwischen den bunten Häusern der Altstadt ein.
Die Inselgruppe Saint-Pierre und Miquelon ist ein reizvolles Stückchen Frankreich vor der Küste Kanadas. Sie entdecken die lebhafte Insel Saint-Pierre, ihre kleinen Häuser mit bunten Fassaden und den natürlichen Hafen, in dem in der Vergangenheit so manches Fischerboot Unterschlupf fand. Miquelon, die zweite Insel des Archipels, bietet weitläufige Landschaften mit hügeligen Wiesen, Teichen und Felsklippen in dem von Seehunden bevölkerten nordatlantischen Ozean.
An der Mündung des Flusses Saguenay liegt Tadoussac. In diesem Nationalpark befindet sich ein einmaliger Aussichtspunkt für die Beobachtung von Walen, die sich hier vor Beginn des Winters zur Nahrungsaufnahme versammeln.
Nach einem Aufenthalt in der dynamischen und weltoffenen Stadt Montreal fahren Sie weiter auf dem Sankt-Lorenz-Strom, einer wunderbaren Wasserstraße in einer außergewöhnlich schönen Natur.
Ihr Schiff fährt weiter den Sankt-Lorenz-Strom hinauf, eine erstaunliche Wasserstraße umgeben von außergewöhnlich schöner Natur, bevor Sie Toronto erreichen. In der kosmopolitischen Stadt endet Ihre Reise.
Wir sind Gäste dieser extremen Regionen, wo Klima- und Eisbedingungen das Sagen haben. Der Reiseverlauf, die Anlandung an bestimmten Orten und die Beobachtung der Tierwelt kann nicht garantiert werden und variiert von Tag zu Tag. So wird jede Kreuzfahrt mit PONANT einzigartig. Der Kapitän und der Expeditionsleiter setzen alles daran, Ihre Erfahrung so reich wie möglich zu gestalten, unter Einhaltung der Sicherheitsregeln und der AECO-Richtlinien.

Expedition programmes include activities such as landings in tender or local boats (sometimes with "wet landing"), moderate walks to more active hikes, all accompanied by your expedition team of naturalist guides.
Ports of call, visited sites, and landings will depend on weather conditions, position of ice, winds and the state of the sea. These can force a change of plans at any time. The Captain and the Expedition Leader may at any time cancel or stop any activity, or even modify the itinerary.

Île-aux-Marins
L'île-aux-Marins is one of the unmissable sites in the archipelago. Lying 10 minutes by boat from Saint-Pierre, this charming island is a testimony to the past and more particularly the boom era of cod fishing. The former fishermen’s cottages are still to be found near the vast stretches of stones that were used to dry the fish.
When you arrive, your guide will introduce the region before taking you to the centre of the island: there you will hear the story of the island, how it was abandoned in the 1960s and the recent resurrection of the ghost town thanks to local associations and visitors to the islands. You will learn more about the traditional homes on the island, and how daily life and artisanal fishing was organised at the end of the 19th and the early 20th century.
You will walk to the lighthouse at Pointe Leconte, built in response to the high number of shipwrecks and maritime tragedies that occurred around the island. During your walking tour, you will also see the public washhouse that gives an idea of the harsh lives of women and the many tasks and responsibilities that befell them, the cemetery dating from 1875, the Calvary and the Cenotaph.
Your visit will conclude at the former school. After the island was deserted because of economic difficulties and the modernisation of industrial fishing, plus the lack of infrastructure and work, the closure of the school was the final blow. The building is now a museum, which you will visit before taking the local boat back to Saint-Pierre.

Culinary heritage of the Magdalen Islands
Renowned for its stunning scenery and rich cultural history, the Magdalen Islands archipelago can also claim a fine culinary heritage, constantly renewed by passionate artisans, like the dairy, smokehouse and the brewery that await you here.
First stop: the Pied-de-Vent dairy, a delicious example of Madelinot perseverance and craftmanship. In just a few years, the artisans working here have successfully developed cheeses that are popular all over the country. Their secret is their great love for their terroir combined with a savvy blend of tradition and modernity, as you will discover during your visit of the farm, followed by a tasting.
Then, after coming along the lovely Chemin de la Pointe Basse, scattered here and there with typical painted houses and farms – with small closed porches, consoles and corbels, verandas but also painted or stained cedar shingles which are reminiscent of the Acadian and French origins of their first inhabitants -, you will discover the Fumoir d’Antan. Now an eco-museum dedicated to herring smoking, this typical smokehouse brings to life this last vestiges of what was a very important industry in the past. It has been used for three generations to smoke herring, mackerel, salmon and scallops; you will find out all about its history before tasting some specialities.
Then go along the northern coast of the island and the aptly named Cap-Hérissé, which is home to spectacular sheer and rugged cliffs that have been sculpted by the sea, before your final port of call: the À l’abri de la Tempête brewery. Here, local ingredients reign supreme. The brewers started using locally malted barley, then moved on to harvesting and using fresh flowers, marine algae and herbs from the area, to brew unique full-flavoured beers that you will have the pleasure of tasting.
-
There are no difficulties involved with this excursion. Participants must have a minimum age of 18 to take part in this visit.
Gesamtpreis inkl. Steuern- und Gebühren : € 120
Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Acadian culture & heritage
From the cider works to the designers’ workshop, via the Sea Museum and Cap Hérissé, discover the various faces of the Magdalen Islands and its inhabitants.
Le Verger de Poméloi orchard is planted on the heights of the Magdalen Islands, overlooking the sea, and will plunge you into a kingdom ruled by the apple. Éloi Vigneau has been passionate about agriculture since his teenage years and started to plant his first apple trees in 1990 as part of an experimental project. From year to year, he followed the growth of the saplings in the local climate, as they faced the wind and sea air. 18 years later, he runs a small cider works and distillery producing excellent beverages while respecting the environment.
Then you will head for the Sea Museum. The permanent exhibition, called Laboureurs du Golfe, recounts the archipelago’s history, which is of course connected to the evolution of maritime practices. Objects and photographs tell stories of fishermen and shipwrecks, the development of ships and lighthouses, seal hunting, etc.
Not far from there is the Atelier Côtier workshop, a creative space coupled with a store where “8 friends and 1 dog have fun making beautiful things”. Here, the sand of the islands is transformed into singular sculptures, and the landscapes inspire the creation of design or decoration objects, clothing or jewellery.
To finish, you will head to the north of the island to admire the incredible jagged cliffs of Cap Hérissé.

There are no particular difficulties with this excursion. We recommend you wear comfortable clothing.

Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Exploring Tadoussac on foot
Possessing one of the world’s lost beautiful bays, flanked by its large hotel with its characteristic red roof, Tadoussac is a picture-postcard village. Walk around this superb territory located at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence River and the Saguenay fjord.
Life goes by peacefully in this village of 800 souls lulled by the whisper of the waves and the salty air. While the history of the village of Tadoussac goes back to the arrival of Europeans on the American continent, the site itself was occupied by native communities from prehistoric times. Moreover, the origin of the word “tadoussac” finds its roots in Indian vocabulary. Tadoussac experienced the fur trade from the 17th to the 19th century, then the timber industry, before becoming a popular holiday destination.
Discover the North Coast’s typical plant species in Le Jardin de la Grève shoreline gardens. You will then visit the Chauvin Trading Post, a recreation of Canada’s very first fur trading post, with an exhibition focused on first contacts, the trading post and trading.
You will visit the Grand Hôtel Tadoussac, a superb wooden building overlooking Tadoussac Bay and the Saint Lawrence River.

L'île-aux-Marins is one of the unmissable sites in the archipelago. Lying 10 minutes by boat from Saint-Pierre, this charming island is a testimony to the past and more particularly the boom era of cod fishing. The former fishermen’s cottages are still to be found near the vast stretches of stones that were used to dry the fish.
When you arrive, your guide will introduce the region before taking you to the centre of the island: there you will hear the story of the island, how it was abandoned in the 1960s and the recent resurrection of the ghost town thanks to local associations and visitors to the islands. You will learn more about the traditional homes on the island, and how daily life and artisanal fishing was organised at the end of the 19th and the early 20th century.
You will walk to the lighthouse at Pointe Leconte, built in response to the high number of shipwrecks and maritime tragedies that occurred around the island. During your walking tour, you will also see the public washhouse that gives an idea of the harsh lives of women and the many tasks and responsibilities that befell them, the cemetery dating from 1875, the Calvary and the Cenotaph.
Your visit will conclude at the former school. After the island was deserted because of economic difficulties and the modernisation of industrial fishing, plus the lack of infrastructure and work, the closure of the school was the final blow. The building is now a museum, which you will visit before taking the local boat back to Saint-Pierre.

Culinary heritage of the Magdalen Islands
Renowned for its stunning scenery and rich cultural history, the Magdalen Islands archipelago can also claim a fine culinary heritage, constantly renewed by passionate artisans, like the dairy, smokehouse and the brewery that await you here.
First stop: the Pied-de-Vent dairy, a delicious example of Madelinot perseverance and craftmanship. In just a few years, the artisans working here have successfully developed cheeses that are popular all over the country. Their secret is their great love for their terroir combined with a savvy blend of tradition and modernity, as you will discover during your visit of the farm, followed by a tasting.
Then, after coming along the lovely Chemin de la Pointe Basse, scattered here and there with typical painted houses and farms – with small closed porches, consoles and corbels, verandas but also painted or stained cedar shingles which are reminiscent of the Acadian and French origins of their first inhabitants -, you will discover the Fumoir d’Antan. Now an eco-museum dedicated to herring smoking, this typical smokehouse brings to life this last vestiges of what was a very important industry in the past. It has been used for three generations to smoke herring, mackerel, salmon and scallops; you will find out all about its history before tasting some specialities.
Then go along the northern coast of the island and the aptly named Cap-Hérissé, which is home to spectacular sheer and rugged cliffs that have been sculpted by the sea, before your final port of call: the À l’abri de la Tempête brewery. Here, local ingredients reign supreme. The brewers started using locally malted barley, then moved on to harvesting and using fresh flowers, marine algae and herbs from the area, to brew unique full-flavoured beers that you will have the pleasure of tasting.

Le Verger de Poméloi orchard is planted on the heights of the Magdalen Islands, overlooking the sea, and will plunge you into a kingdom ruled by the apple. Éloi Vigneau has been passionate about agriculture since his teenage years and started to plant his first apple trees in 1990 as part of an experimental project. From year to year, he followed the growth of the saplings in the local climate, as they faced the wind and sea air. 18 years later, he runs a small cider works and distillery producing excellent beverages while respecting the environment.
Then you will head for the Sea Museum. The permanent exhibition, called Laboureurs du Golfe, recounts the archipelago’s history, which is of course connected to the evolution of maritime practices. Objects and photographs tell stories of fishermen and shipwrecks, the development of ships and lighthouses, seal hunting, etc.
Not far from there is the Atelier Côtier workshop, a creative space coupled with a store where “8 friends and 1 dog have fun making beautiful things”. Here, the sand of the islands is transformed into singular sculptures, and the landscapes inspire the creation of design or decoration objects, clothing or jewellery.
To finish, you will head to the north of the island to admire the incredible jagged cliffs of Cap Hérissé.
