Cruising Nunatsiavut
"Hop on..hop off"
Nunatsiavut, "Our Beautiful Land," offers an opportunity to experience unique aboriginal culture and breathtaking Arctic scenery. Find yourself in this 'place
of spirits' - home to the Inuit and their predecessors for thousands of years.
The new Kamutik W ferry service links the small, remote communities of Nunatsiavut during the summer months with a 5 day return trip; Happy Valley – Goose Bay to Nain.
Passengers have a choice of accommodations and can stay on for the whole five days or get off in a community on the way north and rejoin the ferry on the southward journey.
