Splendor of Canada Cruise
11 Days ~ 10 Nights
Nova Scotia – Quebec – Prince Edward Island
The 10-night Splendor of Canada Cruise encompasses a vast array of quaint island towns and natural wonders that lets you truly experience, up close, this rich maritime region. From the old city walls of Quebec City, where the streets are lined with magnificent churches, fragrant gardens and chic boutiques, to one of the most popular whale-watching spots in Canada at Saguenay Fjord. The dramatic landscape of the Gaspé Peninsula awaits you, known as the “Birthplace of Canada” since it was the first stop of Jacques Cartier, in 1534, to claim the land for France. The remote archipelago of Îles de la Madeleine sports cottages in a bright and beautiful array of primary hues, beaches that provide the habitat for the endangered piping plover and the roseate tern, and a delightful sense of French culture. Gaze upon the red sandstone cliffs of Prince Edward Island, known for the vivid colors of its gently rolling landscape, and visit Green Gables, an old farmhouse immortalized in Lucy Maud Montgomery’s cherished 1908 novel, Anne of Green Gables, which is high among the list of favorite places to visit. Halifax, Nova Scotia’s capital, is an historic community featuring the Halifax Citadel, where the city’s role is made clear as a key naval station in the British Empire circa 1800. Stroll down Spring Garden Road, a lively neighborhood with intriguing boutiques set among a mildly Bohemian street scene. The waterfront’s crown jewel is the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, where one can learn the history of this province’s shipbuilding heritage. Fill your days with exploration and discovery and come away with a newfound appreciation of this spectacular area. |
