> WHEN YOU GO

Get there: Air Canada and WestJet offer daily, non-stop flights from Toronto to St. John’s. Do this trip: Offered in late spring and early autumn, Adventure Canada offers a rare opportunity to circumnavigate Newfoundland, approaching this huge island on a 10-day voyage in the best way possible — from the water, aboard the comfortable Ocean Endeavour. The expedition cruise provides excellent opportunities to spot wildlife, from whales to moose, but culture is primary, with music and stories that define this distinctive part of Canada carrying from shore to ship, and jam-sessions often stretching long into the evening. Cabins begin at $3,995 per person. Do your research: newfoundlandandlabrador.com
