Exciting news for those planning a trip to the Happy Province, WestJet is set to launch new direct flights from London Gatwick to St. John's, Newfoundland in May. One of the highlights of Frontier Canada's 2024 collection is the 11-night Newfoundland Circumnavigation Adventure Canada Cruise. This new addition docks in Francois, a car-free remote outpost that can only be accessed by boat or helicopter. Imagine hiking through the surrounding hills and experiencing the warm hospitality of the community kitchen parties, where you can meet the friendly locals and immerse yourself in their culture. The Bonavista Peninsula, L'Anse Aux Meadows, Gros Morne National Park, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and the First Nations community of Miawpukek are just a few of the other highlights awaiting you.
Frontier Canada's Worth The Wander social media campaign is currently shining a spotlight on all of Atlantic Canada. For fans of Anne of Green Gables, the musical is returning to Prince Edward Island's Charlottetown Festival in June. And in 2024, we'll be celebrating the 150th birthday of the novel's author, Lucy Maud Montgomery. The province offers inspirational literary tours that take you to historic and inspirational sites. In neighboring Nova Scotia, the southwest region will come alive with Acadian culture during Yarmouth's nine-day Acadian World Congress in August. Why not combine a visit to both provinces with a tailor-made, bespoke fly-drive? Follow #WorthTheWander on Facebook and Instagram for more updates on Atlantic Canada.
Summer is the perfect time to visit Ottawa, the capital of Canada.

For those seeking wildlife adventures and remote exploration, Frontier Canada has something special in store. Explore Nunavik's uninhabited Gyrfalcon Islands in Ungava Bay, a Quebec experience that begins this summer. Guests of Ungava Polar Eco-Tours will spend six nights hiking, fat-biking, and boating their way around this undiscovered region, accompanied by knowledgeable Inuit guides. While spotting polar bears is undoubtedly thrilling, the region offers encounters with a diverse range of wildlife, including seals, musk ox, and beluga whales. And let's not forget the magnificent Northern Lights displays that illuminate the night sky. 2024 is an opportune time to witness these breathtaking phenomena, especially during the Solar Maximum when solar activity is at its peak.
Lastly, mark your calendars for April 8th, when a total solar eclipse will pass over central and eastern Canada. Ontario's iconic Niagara Falls is one of the ultimate viewing points, offering over three minutes of totality starting at 3:18 p.m. This celestial event is not to be missed! While hotel availability is limited, Frontier Canada urges travelers to secure their bookings now. Remember, the path of totality also includes other parts of Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. Tailor-made itineraries are available upon request, so you can make the most of this extraordinary experience.
