IN THE WAKE OF THE VIKINGS …
There is no place like it. Here on Canada's east coast lies an unspoiled frontier. It is home to mountains of volcanic rock, fjords and whales. Roughly 1000 years ago the Vikings settled at the tip of Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula. Corner Brook, located in Western Newfoundland, is a popular port of call for Cruise Ships following in the Wake of the Vikings. The entrance to the Bay of Islands is guarded by three large islands and you will feel like an "explorer of old" as you sail down Humber Arm to the safe haven of the Port of Corner Brook. As Newfoundland is the eastern most province in Canada, you will be one of the first people in North America to see the sun rise as your ship glides to its berth to start a new day.

IN CAPTAIN COOK'S FOOTSTEPS . . .
Corner Brook is a popular port of call for cruise ships traveling in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The area is steeped in history and the Bay of Islands was originally charted by Captain James Cook in 1767. Cook spent several weeks exploring this three armed fjord and named many headlands and coves. Corner Brook is also an ideal jumping off spot for visiting world famous Gros Morne National Park and the scenic Humber Valley. You will be captivated by the scenery and warmed by the friendliness and culture of our rugged people waiting to share their heritage with you.
