Ocean Victory, Greenland & Wild Labrador: A Torngat Mountains Adventure ex Kangerlussuaq to St. John’s

Greenland & Wild Labrador: A Torngat Mountains Adventure ex Kangerlussuaq to St. John’s

Day 1: Kangerlussuaq, Greenland – Cross the Arctic Circle
After your charter flight from Toronto, transfer by Zodiac to your expedition vessel. Begin your voyage sailing through Kangerlussuaq Fjord, a 190‑kilometre corridor of mountains and glaciers gleaming in reflected light. Cross the Arctic Circle as you head seaward. The air is sharp and bright, the sense of beginning unmistakable.

Day 2: Kangerlussuatsiaq Fjord (Evighedsfjorden) – Take a Zodiac Cruise at the Foot of a Glacier
Kangerlussuatsiaq means “the rather big fjord,” while its Danish name – Evighedsfjorden – translates as “the fjord of eternity.” Both capture its vast, unending presence. Explore by Zodiac beneath calving ice and sheer cliffs. Waterfalls thread down the rock face, and floating glacial ice drifts all around in a myriad of blue, white, and silver hues, catching and scattering the light.

Day 3: Nuuk – Where Arctic tradition meets modern life
Colourful homes and bold modern architecture rise where sea meets stone, framed by the rugged silhouette of Sermitsiaq or Saddle Mountain – the city’s striking natural backdrop. In Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, Inuit culture shapes daily life – from galleries and song to the scent of country food and the laughter that fills the harbour air. Wander through a city that embodies both tradition and transformation, a living expression of the contemporary Arctic.

Day 4: At Sea – Davis Strait – Stories on the open water
Cross the Davis Strait, a storied stretch of ocean connecting Greenland and Labrador. While whales and seabirds trace your course, life aboard turns to learning and exchange. Inuit cultural educators, scientists, artists, and historians share knowledge, stories, and laughter that deepen understanding of the Arctic and its peoples. Reflection and discovery flow together on this day at sea.

Day 5-8: Torngat Mountain Range, NL, Canada – Land of Spirit and Stone
Enter Torngat Mountains National Park, a vast, untamed landscape where sheer peaks rise from deep fjords and tundra stretches to the horizon. Inuit hosts guide your exploration of this ancestral homeland, sharing stories that root the land in millennia of knowledge and connection. The Torngats are one of the least accessible places in Canada, protected and co-managed by Inuit to preserve both their natural and cultural heritage. From the possibility of spotting polar bears along the coast to hearing the wind move through glacial valleys, every moment here feels profound – a reminder of the power, beauty, and spirit that define the Arctic.

Day 9: Hebron – ponder poignant history
Step ashore at Hebron, a former Moravian mission where the past lingers powerfully. In the 1950s, families here were forced to relocate, leaving deep scars still remembered today. Visit the preserved church, hear stories from descendants, and reflect at the commemorative plaque marking both loss and continuity. Meeting those who continue to return to hunt, fish, and honour their heritage makes Hebron a living story of displacement, memory, and return.

Day 10: Nunatsiavut Community – Experience an Inuit Hamlet
Come ashore in a Nunatsiavut community, where the spirit of the Labrador coast comes vividly to life. Here, history, art, and daily life intertwine, revealing stories of resilience, pride, and connection to land and sea. Walk through a community where tradition and modern life coexist – where voices rise in song, artisans share their craft, and every conversation offers insight into Inuit self-governance and cultural renewal. Framed by striking coastal hills and ancient rock formations, this visit offers a powerful sense of place and a deeper appreciation of Inuit Labrador.

Day 11-12: The Labrador Coast – Fishing grounds and rugged shores
Along the Labrador coast, sheer headlands give way to quiet coves and forested valleys that reach toward the sea. For centuries, Inuit, Innu, and settler communities have lived within this landscape of contrasts – its beauty matched only by its demands. During the great cod fishery, harbours once filled with schooners, salt fish, and the rhythm of seasonal life. Today, cultural sites and small outports echo those stories, revealing how people and sea have long sustained one another. Guided hikes and Zodiac excursions invite you to trace these same shorelines, where every turn offers a glimpse of Labrador’s raw power and enduring spirit.

Day 13: L’Anse aux Meadows – Where Vikings landed and worlds met
At the tip of Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula lies L’Anse aux Meadows, the only authenticated Norse site in North America and a UNESCO World Heritage treasure. Step back a thousand years to when Norse voyagers made landfall here, marking the first known meeting between Europeans and the Indigenous peoples of this continent. Wander among grassy mounds and reconstructed sod dwellings that bring the past to life, and trace the stories unearthed by archaeologists – guided by the sagas and the clues preserved in the earth.

Day 14: Northeast Newfoundland – Where sea and story converge
Follow the Labrador Current along Newfoundland’s rugged northeast coast, where fishing villages cling to headlands shaped by wind and tide. It’s cold waters once supported the greatest fishery in the world, king cod, drawing settlers to carve out lives along the rocky shores. These coastal communities, though ever adapting, still carry the imprint of their sea-going heritage. Out at sea, whales surface and seabirds wheel overhead, drawn by the nutrient-rich flow. Here, wild landscapes and enduring traditions meet, revealing a shoreline defined as much by people and history as by the restless sea itself.

Day 15: St. John’s, NL, Canada – A Harbour of stories
Cradled by steep hills and guarded by the dramatic Narrows, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador’s spirited capital, is one of the world’s great natural harbours and one of North America’s oldest cities. Brightly painted row houses climb the slopes beside Signal Hill, where the Atlantic stretches endlessly beyond. In its winding streets and lively waterfront, history and creativity thrive side by side, filling the air with music, laughter, and the unmistakable spirit of Newfoundland.

The Ocean Victory, launched in 2021, is one of the most modern small expedition vessels at sea. Purpose-built for discovery, it combines comfort, capability, and a deep commitment to sustainability – an ideal platform for Adventure Canada’s small-ship journeys to some of the world’s most remarkable places. Its innovative X-BOW® hull delivers smoother, quieter crossings and greater stability, while its ice-strengthened design ensures safe passage into areas few ships can reach.

On board, travellers are welcomed into bright cabins, panoramic decks, and inviting spaces designed to spark conversation, laughter, and learning. Shared meals, engaging presentations, and quiet moments of reflection as icebergs drift past create a sense of community and curiosity. The Ocean Victory offers a rare combination of comfort, connection, and environmental care.

Founded in 1987, Adventure Canada was created to bring travellers to Canada’s “blank spaces”, those areas whose remoteness alone made them special. Over the last fifteen years, along with our guests, we have discovered that there is so much that is extraordinary about the places we travel, from the landscape, wildlife and culture to the history, art and archeology that is unique to every destination. It is our belief that there is so much to see “beyond the binoculars” that drives us to delve deeper into our favourite places with every expedition and continually seek out new destinations.

We travel by small expedition ship, the best suited mode of transportation for remote exploration. The number of passengers on our voyages run between 45 and 100, depending on the ship we choose. We believe that these small vessels are superior, as they not only allow us to gain access to places not accessible by larger vessels, but our fleet of Zodiac landing craft permit us to visit some of the most remote places imaginable – the key to expeditionary travel.
