CANAL will organize and assist the Province and its tourism operators and service providers to generate the greatest possible volume of cruiseship activity and business in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Mandate

The mandate of CANAL is to elevate the cruiseship industry to a new level, to meet the demands of the global cruise market and position Newfoundland and Labrador as a truly unique and distinctive destination for Adventure/Ecotourism, South/North and Trans-Atlantic Cruises and for Home Porting cruises within the Province.
