Older than Jamestown and founded before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, it is the only city north of Mexico whose original fortifications remain intact. The Québec City historic district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is still home to religious orders and hospitals that date back to the 17th century. Its Place-Royale would look familiar to the explorer Samuel de Champlain, even with its modern attractions of gift... ### Day 2: Saint Lawrence River Cruising **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 3: Gulf of St. Lawrence **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 4: Charlotte Amalie **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM On a Caribbean Cruise, the capital island of the U.S. Virgin Island is often the first stop for travelers. Its easy access, use of American currency and cultural cues, as well as its reputation for safety, make St. Thomas the easy first choice. But just because it appeals to the comfortable side of travel doesn't mean that St. Thomas is basic. Just the opposite—the 80-square-kilometer (31-square-mile) island is full of superlatives. It's home to some of the Caribbean's highest viewpoints, specta... ### Day 5: Sydney, Canada **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM 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 harbor, 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. Restaurants often provide live music (expect fiddles and sea chanteys) along with meals of seafood fresh-caught in ... ### Day 6: Halifax **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM 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 harbor, plus striking public art and sights, funky shops and excellent pubs serving up folk music (and good pints). Explore the Halifax waterfront where steamships once anchored to drop off arriving immigrants at Pier 21. Savor the low-key but class... ### Day 7: Portland, Maine, USA **Arrives:** 12:00 PM · **Departs:** 10:00 PM Squint your eyes and admit it: Doesn’t that skinny, bearded hipster walking down the cobbled street look a lot like a 19th-century sea captain heading to the wharf to check his ship? Modern Portland, first settled in 1633, carries the marks of both subsets of Mainers. The restored brick buildings and warehouses of the Old Port and the fine upright houses of prosperous captains, merchants and shipbuilders make the city’s past a living part of its present. And the waterfront is a going concern, no... ### Day 8: Boston, Massachusetts **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM New England’s largest city, Boston, Massachusetts, is home to historic sights and modern neighborhoods; stores and restaurants with old-time character; and gracious green spaces as well as a beautiful waterfront. Legendary figures of the American Revolution come alive at buildings and attractions along Boston’s Freedom Trail, including the Paul Revere House and Old South Meeting House, and in Lexington and Concord just outside Boston. Pay homage to great U.S. presidents at the John F. Kennedy Pr... ## Pricing Prices shown are per person based on double occupancy in USD. | Cabin Type | Starting Price | |------------|----------------| | Inside | $2,389 | | Ocean View | $2,489 | | Balcony | $3,259 | | Suite | $4,189 | ## Cabin Options ### Inside Cabins **Standard Interior Stateroom** (Code: N) Approximately 151–233 sq. ft.
