Overview
Nain, the northernmost permanent settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador, is a truly unique cruise destination accessible only by sea or air. As the administrative capital of Nunatsiavut, the self-governing region of the Inuit of Labrador, a visit here offers a profound and immersive cultural experience. Situated on a small inlet of Unity Bay, with a harbor protected by numerous islands, the town is a base for exploring a landscape where the treeless tundra meets the vast, ice-choked waters of the Labrador Sea.
Established by Moravian missionaries in 1771, Nain is a community where ancient Inuit traditions coexist with modern life. The town is the gateway to the stunning Torngat Mountains National Park, a land of deep fjords, towering peaks, and a sanctuary for Arctic wildlife. A cruise to Nain is an opportunity to connect with the Inuit people, learn about their rich history and resilience, and witness a spectacular natural environment that has sustained them for thousands of years.
Upon arrival, you'll likely receive a welcome. Visit the Illusuak Cultural Centre, a building that tells the story of the Labrador Inuit. The center showcases their history and it serves as a gathering place.
Tip: Engage with the local guides and staff at the center.
Explore the Moravian Church, a beautiful and historic building that reflects the town's origins as a mission settlement. The church's history is deeply intertwined with the community's and offers a glimpse into the past.
Tip: Look for local music performances while discovering the Historic Moravian Church.
Take time to browse the shops and craft stores. From intricate soapstone carvings and traditional woven items to jewelry and other handicrafts, these items reflect the artistic traditions and natural materials of the region.
Tip: Purchasing crafts directly supports the local economy and provides you with a meaningful, handmade souvenir.
Join a guided tour or hike with an expert to get a feel for the landscape. Discover the flora of the treeless tundra and gain a perspective on the town from the hills.
Tip: Wear sturdy, waterproof hiking boots, as the terrain can be uneven and potentially boggy.
Keep an eye on the water from the shore or from your ship. Depending on the time of year, you may be able to spot seals, and a variety of seabirds.
Tip: Bring binoculars to enhance your chances of spotting wildlife from a distance.
The area serves as the administrative capital of the self-governing Nunatsiavut Government. Learning about this political structure provides context for understanding the community's past and its role in protecting the land.
Tip: The Illusuak Cultural Centre is a great resource for learning about the Nunatsiavut government and its initiatives.
