Adventure Canada began its highly anticipated 2025 season with the departure of the Ocean Endeavour from Aberdeen, Scotland, on June 3, 2025. This voyage not only marks the start of the company’s exploration season but also signifies the beginning of the vessel’s farewell tour. The Ocean Endeavour is set to embark on a memorable ten-night journey through the British Isles, offering guests the opportunity to experience some of the most captivating and remote destinations in the region before the ship is retired from the fleet.

The Ocean Endeavour’s first sailing of the season follows the “Scotland Slowly” itinerary, a popular route that allows travelers to take their time exploring Scotland’s rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. This journey is ideal for those seeking a deeper connection with the Scottish landscape and its diverse islands. Throughout the expedition, guests will have the chance to visit a variety of picturesque islands, including Islay, Iona, Staffa, Skye, St. Kilda, Stornoway, Papa Stour, Foula, Fair Isle, and Kirkwall. Each island offers its own unique charm, from historic sites to untouched landscapes and vibrant local wildlife.

Scotland’s natural beauty will be a highlight of this voyage, with guests experiencing its sweeping coastlines, dramatic cliffs, and serene beaches. The islands visited are home to a wide range of wildlife, including seals, seabirds, and Scotland’s iconic Highland cattle, providing the perfect backdrop for those with a love for nature. In addition to the breathtaking scenery, the expedition offers a chance to explore ancient archaeological sites, charming villages, and experience the area’s rich Gaelic culture, making this voyage a truly immersive adventure.

After completing this British Isles leg of the journey, the Ocean Endeavour will head to Iceland in late July, continuing its final season of Arctic exploration. This will be the last opportunity for guests to travel aboard the Ocean Endeavour in the Arctic before the vessel heads to Canada in early August. The ship will then set off on expeditions to some of the most remote and breathtaking locations in the world, including the High Arctic, the Northwest Passage, and the Labrador Peninsula, as well as Newfoundland.

The Arctic voyages offer guests a chance to explore some of the planet’s most pristine and awe-inspiring environments. Highlights include visits to Baffin Island, Cambridge Bay, Bellot Strait, Grise Fjord, and Beechey Island. These destinations are home to vast glaciers, towering icebergs, and polar wildlife, including polar bears, walruses, and migratory birds. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the raw beauty of the Arctic, witnessing its immense wilderness and incredible wildlife in an environment that remains largely untouched by human activity.

In addition to Arctic expeditions, the Ocean Endeavour will sail along Canada’s eastern coastline, offering travelers an opportunity to explore Newfoundland and the Labrador Peninsula. Notable destinations on this route include Gros Morne National Park, Torngat Mountains National Park, Nain, and Hebron. These areas are known for their dramatic landscapes, including fjords, mountains, and deep forests, and are home to rich cultural histories and indigenous communities. The voyages will give guests a chance to learn about Canada’s heritage while experiencing the awe-inspiring natural beauty of its remote regions.

The final journey for the Ocean Endeavour in 2025 will be an 11-day circumnavigation of Newfoundland. This special voyage will take guests around the island, visiting coastal villages, historic sites, and natural wonders. One of the highlights of this final journey will be a visit to Saint-Pierre, a French overseas territory that lies just off the coast of Newfoundland. This last sailing promises to be a fitting conclusion to the Ocean Endeavour’s storied career with Adventure Canada, offering guests a final opportunity to explore one of North America’s most captivating regions.

As the Ocean Endeavour prepares for retirement, Adventure Canada is looking forward to the arrival of two new vessels: the Ocean Nova and the Exploris One. These ships will join the fleet in time for the 2026 summer season, taking over the Arctic and Atlantic itineraries previously sailed by the Ocean Endeavour. The new ships will be designed to accommodate more guests, provide greater flexibility, and offer an expanded range of voyages, ensuring that Adventure Canada can continue to meet the growing demand for expedition cruises.

The Ocean Nova and Exploris One will be equipped with the latest technology, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally friendly travel experience. These ships will allow Adventure Canada to increase the number of voyages offered, with 14 new cruises already planned for 2026. This fleet expansion will enable the company to offer more opportunities for guests to explore remote destinations, including more Arctic expeditions and voyages to Greenland, the Canadian East Coast, and other breathtaking regions.

Adventure Canada’s commitment to sustainability remains at the core of its mission. Both the Ocean Nova and Exploris One will adhere to strict environmental standards, minimizing their impact on the fragile ecosystems they visit. By integrating eco-friendly technologies and sustainable practices, Adventure Canada is dedicated to preserving the pristine beauty of the places it explores while offering unforgettable travel experiences.

The addition of these new vessels marks an exciting new chapter for Adventure Canada. With the Ocean Nova and Exploris One, the company will continue to deliver extraordinary voyages to some of the most remote and unspoiled parts of the world. These ships will provide guests with even more opportunities to explore the Arctic’s frozen landscapes, the rugged beauty of the Canadian East Coast, and the vibrant cultures and wildlife that make these destinations so special.

In conclusion, Adventure Canada’s 2025 season is both a farewell to the Ocean Endeavour and a launchpad for the future with the addition of the Ocean Nova and Exploris One. As the company prepares for a new era of expedition cruising, travelers can look forward to even more opportunities to explore the world’s most pristine destinations. Whether navigating the Scottish Isles, journeying through the Arctic, or uncovering the beauty of Canada’s remote coastlines, Adventure Canada remains committed to offering unforgettable, sustainable travel experiences that foster a deeper connection with nature and the world’s most extraordinary places.
