Exploring the rugged beauty of Newfoundland on a small ship expedition with Frontier Canada—Francois, one of the province’s hidden gems
Kent, UK, 2025-Feb-05 — /Travel PR News/ — To celebrate the launch of Frontier Canada’s “Where to Next?” series, running every Thursday on Facebook and Instagram, the specialist tour operator is offering an exclusive 20% saving on Adventure Canada’s 13-night Newfoundland Circumnavigation small-ship expedition.
The journey begins in the vibrant capital of St. John’s, where colourful houses cling to the cliffs of The Battery—a dream for photographers and a perfect farewell to civilisation before heading into the wilds of the Happy province. Like travelling in a time capsule, L’Anse aux Meadows tells of Viking explorers—the site is the only verified Norse settlement in North America—while at Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park, the Earth’s mantle lies exposed, the crust pushed to the surface hundreds of millions of years ago. Further south is the remote outport of Francois, its 68-strong community tracing its ancestry back to the 1700s. Nestled in a dramatic fjord, with no roads leading in, its isolation is part of its charm, along with its lively kitchen parties. A final twist: the ship docks in Saint-Pierre, this tiny slice of France, marking a delightful cultural detour before heading back to St. John’s harbour.
Even easier to reach in 2025, WestJet will increase St. John’s previous service to London (Gatwick) from three-times weekly to four-times weekly from April 28 to October 25. SAVE £870pp: 13-night Circumnavigate Newfoundland Adventure Canada small ship expedition with Frontier Canada from £5,875pp (two sharing), including two nights in St. John’s, cruise accommodation, guided activities, all meals, port and park fees, and return flights.
Celebrating a special anniversary? Upgrade to a deluxe cabin suite complete with forward-facing picture windows for unobstructed views and private bath with full tub. SAVE £1,870pp: 13-night Circumnavigate Newfoundland Adventure Canada small ship expedition with Frontier Canada from £11,655pp (two sharing), including two nights in St. John’s, cruise accommodation, guided activities, all meals, port and park fees, and return flights.
