Canada’s oldest city doubles as the bustling capital of Newfoundland, where multigenerational fishing fleets and centuries-old waterfront attractions meet a growing metropolitan area catering to gas and oil magnates. When not dining at a five-star seafood house by the sea, tourists will be found at historic sites like Cape Spear, the easternmost point of North America and home to the oldest lighthouse in the province.

Natural attractions abound here, too. The Grand Concourse, a system of hiking paths connecting St. John’s to its leafy suburbs, lures visitors in need of a quiet stroll past fragrant flower gardens and peaceful streams. The Johnson GEO Centre draws rock hounds for a fascinating look at North America’s geologic makeup. Cruise passengers can look toward the sea for more unforgettable sights, as St. John’s is a favorite meeting place of migrating whales; passing humpback, mike and sperm whales make great photo opportunities.
