Andy27 Posted May 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I and my wife will be taking a cruise this summer, some of the ports of call are: Sydney/Nova Scotia, St. Pierre and St. John's/Newfoundland. Would you recommend booking excursions at any of these ports, if so which ones do you think are the best for nature and scenery? Thank you.

My TA on Veendam from Lisbon to Boston is also visiting these ports. I have been to St. John's Newfoundland before and I enjoyed the ship's excursion that took us to the farthest eastern point and the telegraph building there. Sorry, I can't recall the name but in any case it was worth my time and money. After the tour we enjoyed walking in downtown Saint John's and did some shopping. Super friendly locals there -- you will love it! As for Sydney and St. Pierre, I'm in the same boat as you (pun intended 😉 ) doing my research!

There is a step on step off trolley in St. John's which is pretty cheap and gets you to all the sites. It has changed a little since I was in St. John's in 2016 (price doubled to $10) but it also seems to go further. The highlight for me was Signal Hill but the Quidi Vidi Village is supposed to be good too. https://www.metrobus.com/thelink/schedule.html Edited June 4, 2019 by chefestelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
