Travel Tips: Getting to St. Pierre & Miquelon
Your Arrival:
You should plan on meeting us at the WANDERBIRD between 6 and 9 PM on the evening before your cruise departure date. You may stay aboard the WANDERBIRD, as our guest the night before your cruise departs, but plan on finding dinner in town. The first meal we serve aboard will be breakfast on the morning of departure. We will serve cold drinks, tea & coffee that evening and you may want to explore the small community, and pick up any alcohol or last minute items.
