Top Sights & Attractions for Cruises to Corner Brook

Explore Newfoundland’s little known yet astonishing Viking past. Your journey of pure discovery ventures to the legendary islands of Cape Breton, Saint Pierre and the Isles de la Madeleine. For a quintessential Newfoundland snack, treat yourself to some toutons, which are fried-dough pancakes topped with molasses. If you have a larger appetite, head to one of the restaurants serving up freshly caught cod or a seafood dish that comes marinated or glazed in maple syrup.

When your cruise ship docks in Corner Brook, you’ll be greeted by friendly locals who offer a warm welcome and advice on what to do. Free transportation is available at the port to transport visitors to the city center. Stand at the most easterly point in North America at Cape Spear, where you’ll enjoy scenic vistas of the surrounding ocean and hills. Enjoy the view from atop a craggy cliff, or visit the romantic Cape Spear Lighthouse, which is the oldest surviving lighthouse in the entire province. You might even see icebergs and whales in the distance, too. For amazing views of the ocean and a dose of Newfoundland history, head to St. John’s most popular landmark, the Signal Hill National Historic Site.

Ships dock in the heart of town, at piers 10 and 11 alongside Harbour Drive. After a few pints at the pub, you might have a hard time understanding the accents or local slang. "Now the once," for example, means "a little later in the day." As the locals say, the cruise dock is within five minutes walking distance of everything you'll want to see or do downtown.

Explore this picturesque French fishing enclave to visit a local island and learn the importance of the historic cod fisheries here, and explore the fascinating L’Arche Museum.

St. John’s is one of the oldest settlements in all of North America. The first European to visit the province of Newfoundland was Italian explorer John Cabot in 1497. In the following years, both the British and French established a number of colonies in the area, including St. John’s. Due to its prime location and important fishery, the city was a battleground between the English and French. In 1792, the British finally acquired control over St. John’s, and it remained a British colony until it became a part of Canada in 1949. Perhaps because it's located on an island, one surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Labrador Sea and Gulf of St. Lawrence, St. John's has kept itself a charming mix of old and new.

Come to St. John's, Newfoundland for the whales, puffins and icebergs. Stay for the rollicking Irish pubs, delectable cod tongues, toe-tapping Celtic tunes and funky craft shops. The capital of Canada's Newfoundland and Labrador province, St. John's is a quirky kind of place, in a friendly, lovable way. You're in for a toe-tapping good time if you head to historic downtown St. John's. You'll find over two dozen pubs, clubs and bars on George Street.
