Your day-to-day plan
Day 1
Boston
Arrive in Boston Logan International Airport and transfer independently to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to explore the city.
Day 2
New England & Canada cruise
It is the day of your departure from Boston on your New England & Canada cruise. Boarding starts from approximately 12:00pm and your cruise departs at 15:00pm. Make sure that you are out on deck to wave goodbye to the city!
*This is a sample itinerary that may vary by sailing date.
Day 3
Rockland
The quintessential coastal New England town, Rockport in Maine, boasts historic homes and shops. Known as the “Lobster Capital of the World,” it’s a mecca for foodies with a taste for fresh, local seafood.
Day 4
Halifax
Located on a rocky inlet on the Atlantic Ocean, Halifax—Nova Scotia’s provincial capital—is defined by its maritime geography. It's a spirited mix of world-class history and nautical-themed museums alongside bunkers and fortresses that guarded the harbour, plus striking public art and sights, funky shops and excellent pubs serving up folk music (and good pints).
Day 5
Sydney
Sydney is the largest city on Cape Breton Island, which is linked by causeway to the rest of Nova Scotia. Sydney’s attractions start at the harbour, where visitors can shop for locally made crafts and see the world’s largest fiddle, which towers beside the port’s cruise pavilion. Some of the city’s historic houses and churches date back to the 1700s and 1800s and are open for tours.
Day 6
Charlottetown
Charlottetown is the capital of Canada’s smallest province, Prince Edward Island, as well as its largest city, though it has fewer than 35,000 residents. Despite its modest size, the city has an impressive number of Victorian houses and buildings and great parks waiting to be explored. For Canadians, it is perhaps most famous as the Birthplace of Confederation. It was here, mostly at Province House, that an 1864 conference led to the creation of the Dominion of Canada.
Day 7
Gulf of St Lawrence
A lighthouse on little St. Paul’s Island is a stark reminder of days gone by as you sail past this infamous old shipwreck site, known as the graveyard of the gulf, on your way through the Cabot Strait and into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. So huge is the gulf that half of Canada’s 10 provinces have a coastal connection to it. Perhaps that’s not surprising, considering that it’s the world’s largest estuary and is fed all the way from the Great Lakes 1,200 kilometres (750 miles) away.
Day 8
Saguenay
The quaint waterfront town of Saguenay is situated in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, a stunning region named after two standout geographical features that were formed by glaciers: Lake (or Lac) Saint-Jean and the Saguenay River, which winds through one of the longest fjords in the world.
Day 9
Québec City
Disembark the cruise as it is now time to explore Québec City. Few places in North America are as steeped in history as Québec City, Canada, the historic district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is still home to religious orders and hospitals that date back to the 17th century.
Day 10
VIA Rail to Montréal
Board the train from Québec City's famous Gare du Palais and enjoy a leisurely journey to Montréal.
Day 11
Montréal
Enjoy a free day in Montréal, one of Canada's most multicultural cities. Experience its colourful entertainment, local cuisine and friendly communities and experience world-class views from the famous Mount Royal Park.
Day 12
VIA Rail to Toronto
Say goodbye to the French side of Canada and board the train to Toronto. En route, look out for Ottawa, the capital city of Canada.
Day 13
Toronto
You have a free day in Toronto to explore this cosmopolitan city. How about taking a journey up the famous CN Tower or if you're not keen on heights then you can visit the Royal Ontario Museum.
Day 14
Fly home
Enjoy any last-minute shopping before saying goodbye to Canada. Independently transfer to Toronto Pearson International Airport for your flight back home.
