Cruise Services

We have experienced hosts in numerous Newfoundland and Labrador ports.  We use our local knowledge to secure the most interesting venues and to obtain the best available coaches and buses for visiting cruise lines.

The shore excursion crew from the Queen Mary II enjoy meeting our Captain Cook just outside the port of Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada.  Cook spent 5 summers surveying Newfoundland and learning the skills that made him a great explorer.  He went on to discover Hawaii and Australia.  He also circled the Antarctic.

Wildland Tours hosts cruise ships in major Newfoundland and Labrador ports like St. John’s, Corner Brook, and St. Pierre, France.  Wildland Tours also works with expedition ships as they visit the dozens of small ports along the coast.  From the Torngat National Park in northern Labrador to Bonavista to St. Brides, Wildland Tours has worked in about two dozen Newfounland and Labrador ports.

The cruise dock of the new world’s first city (St. John’s, NL, Canada).  Nobody knows if St. John’s was visited by the Norse but there are records of port calls going back to 1500. 

Corner Brook is a popular port of call for vessels on a Fall Colors itinerary.  The nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Gros Morne and the area’s mountainous scenery add to the highlights of a Corner Brook visit. 

We always try to find Newfoundland dogs for our guests.  Sometimes we also meet Labrador huskies and Labrador retrievers - two other breeds that share the name of our province.
