This was our first time being able to tender into L’Anse aux Meadows. On a previous Viking journey, the seas were too rough for the tender boats. However, today was a very smooth ride and the weather has been wonderful! We finally hit cooler temperatures which is a favorite of mine when traveling.
L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada, is a unique site. We were able to walk on the mounds where Vikings settled in the late 10th century by nearly 500 years prior to Columbus. Leif Eriksson’s voyage to Greenland put this location on the map.
There were local park guides available to explain more about the history and life of this settlement. Further down from the mounds was Norstead. This was constructed as a reenactment settlement and locals were there to show us how the Vikings lived and worked.
Highly recommend visiting on our Viking Iconic Iceland, Greenland, and Canada cruise.
Happy and safe travels to all!
