Introduction to Port

Saglek Fjord on the remote northern coast of Newfoundland and Labrador offers a cruise port unlike most, turning a busy harbor stop into an intimate Arctic immersion with dramatic basalt cliffs, glacier-fed waters, and a sense of vast wilderness that remains remarkably uncrowded. Its signature experiences invite guests to move at the pace of the landscape: zodiac excursions that glide along the fjord's glassy surface to glimpse seabird colonies and curious marine life, guided shore visits with Indigenous hosts who share traditional knowledge and stories of the land, and optional short hikes that reveal sweeping coastal panoramas. Destinations along the itinerary emphasize pristine coastlines and nearby Indigenous communities where culture, history, and nature intersect in a living landscape. The expedition fleet features ice-strengthened hulls, enhanced maneuverability for shallow fjords, and onboard observation lounges and bow cameras that put the drama of every approach in clear view. Onboard services cater to explorers with naturalist-led talks, hands-on photography workshops, and dining that highlights local Arctic flavors while prioritizing sustainable sourcing, accompanied by a knowledgeable crew ready to assist with landings and wildlife etiquette. In short, Saglek Fjord delivers an unplugged, high-value Arctic experience that blends nature, culture, and modern expedition comfort in a way few ports can.
