Canada in the Fall
As the colours of the gorgeous Canadian landscape turn to famous fall hues of brown, yellow and red, Borealis takes you on an incredible journey timed to offer you a chance to immerse yourself fully in the autumnal splendour of one of the world’s most beautiful countries.
In less than three weeks, you’ll sail between a collection of destinations picked for their natural beauty, with forest, trails and natural parks within reach for opportunities to go ‘leaf peeping’ and experience Canada at its breathtaking best. The centrepiece of this one-of-a-kind itinerary is three memorable days of discovery in Quebec province. The city of Gaspé is your gateway to the forested valleys and cliffs of Forillon National Park, while the rugged scenery of Manicouagan Uapishka Biosphere Reserve surrounds Baie-Comeau, and begs for exploration. There’s also a day in classical Quebec City, where the icons of the UNESCO-listed Old City, such as the grand Château Frontenac and Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec await. For another display of spectacular fall foliage, take a tour to the Laurentian Mountains – one of the best places to observe Canada’s natural beauty.
Elsewhere in Canada, there are two visits to the state of Newfoundland, brimming with old world charm and the beauty of picturesque countryside and coastlines. At St John’s, the views on offer from Signal Hill are not to be missed, especially at this time of the year, and Cape Spear – Canada’s easternmost point – is a short journey away. Meanwhile, a visit to Corner Brook is a chance to follow in Captain Cook’s footsteps and explore the city’s stunning shores; or opt to tour to the vibrant, UNESCO-listed Gros Morne National Park. In Nova Scotia, Sydney is perfectly placed for explorations of the Cape Breton Highlands and, if all that’s not enough, you’ll take a journey along the Saguenay River and appreciate fjord-like landscapes from your ship, plus visit Port Saguenay for tours to the beautiful Saguenay Fjord National Park. Before returning to Liverpool you will have the chance to visit Belfast, Northern Ireland’s capital, for one last day of exploration and learn about the city’s deep maritime connection.

Travelling to Europe
Rules may have changed since you last travelled to European Union countries and Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The following are useful guidelines which will help you prepare for your next adventure. Note that these new rules do NOT apply when travelling within the United Kingdom or to the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland. You do require government issued ID when travelling by air though.
Names - It is very important that all passenger names are exactly as per your passport although we do not require middle names.
Passport - Your passport must meet two requirements to travel to an EU country and to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It must be: Less than 10 years old on the day you return home (please check the "date of issue") and valid for at least 3 months after the day you return home (please check the "expiry date").
These rules do not apply to travel to Ireland where you can continue to use your passport as long as it’s valid for the length of your stay.
Visa - If you’re a tourist, you do not need a visa for short trips to most EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. You’ll be able to stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. Different rules will apply to Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Romania; if you visit these countries, visits to other EU countries will not count towards the 90-day total. Travel to Ireland will not change and stays there will not count towards the 90-day total.
European Travel Information & Authorisation System (ETIAS) - Towards the end of 2022, it is likely that non EU citizens will be required to apply online for an authorisation to visit most European countries. The current details suggest there will be a charge of €7 per person and the authorisation will be valid for all trips made to the EU in a three year period from issue. We will advise you of confirmed details prior to your tour’s departure.
Border Control - At border control, you may need to show proof of your return journey - your travel documentation issued by us will be sufficient for this. You will also need to use separate lanes from EU, EEA and Swiss citizens if manual checks are required.
Healthcare Cover - You should always get appropriate travel insurance with healthcare cover before you go abroad which covers pre-existing conditions. You should understand the terms and conditions of your travel insurance and be happy with its cover for healthcare and travel disruption. Newmarket sell a comprehensive travel insurance policy. Ask our travel consultants for more information.
You should also apply for a UK Global Heath Insurance Card (GHIC) which lets you get urgent state healthcare in Europe at a reduced cost or sometimes for free. Note GHIC is only valid in EU countries and not in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
