 Maritime - New England Cruise
Fogo Island Inn
Tuesday,  Sept 22 (or Wednesday 23) ​to Friday, September 25
​(before Halifax, night of September 25)

Join us for two or three nights in advance of our cruise

This is one of the most unique hotels in the world,
philosophically, socially, geographically and architecturally. Come and experience!

Fogo Island Inn sits on an island, off an island, at one of the four corners of the Earth. Situated along Iceberg Alley, all 29 suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto the wildest and most powerful ocean on the planet. Furnished with handmade quiet luxuries, they serve as a welcome refuge from the numbing uniformity of modern times. The island’s still-wild world has caribou to track, hills of berries to forage, nature trails to explore and countless birds and sea life to behold. This award-winning Inn is operated as a social business, is a community asset and 100% of the operating surpluses are reinvested into the community.

Fogo Island Inn's dining room was named among the top three "Best New Restaurants" in Canada by enRoute magazine. The Kitchen Collective is responsible for the Inn’s 48-seat dining room, 35-seat lounge and, for on- and off-site catering. The team finds inspiration in the ocean’s bounty, from ingredients grown on the island, and from Fogo Island’s time-honoured outport cooking traditions. Everything coming out of the kitchen is handmade – sausage, bread, baked goods, bacon, and mustards. The menu changes with the wind and the waves and the seven seasons: a culinary mission that respects and celebrates the profound gift of place that is Fogo Island.

Specific details to be confirmed


Most days, Phil Foley’s shed functions as an everyday workshop. However, it is also set up to entertain company when the opportunity suits, with ample seating and various knick-knacks and gewgaws hanging from the walls. 

So, what exactly is a ‘shed party’?  “It's the same as a house party, only it's in a shed,” laughs Foley, who has catered to a number of noteworthy guests over the years, including dignitaries from Ireland and a Mayor of Toronto.

Shed Party is CAD 1800 per party (i.e. if for 10 of us, it's CAD180 per person; if for 20 it's CAD90 per person.)
