Southeast United States Cruise
8 Days ~ 7 Nights

Immediately you will notice a shade of blue in the sea and sky that exists nowhere else. Halifax, Gateway to Atlantic Canada, is where one of the rare Victorian gardens in Canada is designated a National Historic Site. On the hill overlooking the harbor is the Citadel, where the earliest roots of Canadian military defense are exposed. In downtown Halifax, the waterfront's crown jewel is the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, whose collection includes the 1913 hydrographic vessel CSS Acadia. Delight in a visit to the oldest standing Roman Catholic Church on Cape Breton Island (1828) that now houses a collection of early Sydney artifacts. In the heart of Cape Breton is the beautiful Bras d'Or lake, an inland sea and a sailor's paradise. You will visit the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, where a large collection of artifacts related to Alexander Graham Bell's research-books, photographs and copies of material from his personal archives-can be found. Observe fascinating shipwrecks in the harbors of Îles de la Madeleine, where the fishermen have painted their cottages in a bright and beautiful array of primary hues. The Codroy Estuary is considered one of, and perhaps the most, important areas in the province of Newfoundland for migratory birds. Savor French culture in the tiny villages of St. Pierre & Miquelon, and watch for whales migrating to Greenland that are visible off the coasts. Once ashore in St. John's, at Signal Hill National Historic Site, don't miss Cabot Tower; the soldiers in period dress perform 19th century marching drills. This is the site where, in 1901, Guglielmo Marconi made communications history by receiving the first trans-Atlantic wireless radio signal. From brilliant historical displays to exciting cuisine, you will fill your days with endless wonder on this last, undiscovered cruise destination in North America.
