We
begin our cruise adventure in: Boston, Massachusetts
There
is no better way to get a sense of the revolutionary struggle that changed our
nation's destiny than with a stroll along Boston's Freedom Trail. Farther a field;
Lexington Green, where the minutemen and redcoats first skirmished, and bewitching Salem.
You might want to come in a couple days early if you haven't been here before! It's
history class brought to life. Visit the Old North Church, Paul Revere's home, the
USS Constitution!
St. John, New Brunswick, Canada
How does a river run backwards? Find out as you watch the phenomenon of the
"Reversing" Falls Rapids, created by powerful high tides of the Bay of Fundy. Visit
the lively Old City Market (circa 1876) and the picturesque resort town of St.
Andrews-by-the-Sea. Saint John is the largest city in New Brunswick, Canada. Located
at the mouth of the Saint John River, on the Bay of Fundy.
Saint John Harbour was first entered probably in 1524 by Gomez (A Spaniard) and named Rio
De La Buelta. Earlier still Basque, Breton and Norman Fisherman are believed to have
made voyages to the Bay of Fundy in the early 1500s. History records that the French
explorers Sieur de Monts and Samuel De Champlain, arrived at the mouth of what is now the
St. John River on June 24, 1604, feast day of St. John the Baptist and named the River in
the Saint's honour. Portland Point, near where H.M.C.S. Brunswicker is located, is an
important historic landmark on the east side of Saint John Harbour. It was here that the
first permanent French settlement in that part of Acadia now known as New Brunswick was
made.
Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada
For ocean scenery at its best, nothing rivals Nova Scotia's south shore. Here
find craggy coastlines, fabled Peggy's Cove and the striking German village of Lunenburg,
so meticulously restored it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Back
in Halifax the ramparts of the Citadel and a museum commemorating the Titanic await
your inspection! The entire Halifax region delights with its impressive array of
entertainment, museums, galleries, historic sites, fine restaurants, and colorful gardens.
Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
Named the most beautiful island in the world by Condé
Nast Traveler magazine. Two must-see attractions beckon you ashore: the
scenic Cabot Trail, winding between spruce-covered mountains and rocky headlands; and the
Fortress of Louisbourg, where costumed soldiers, bakers and blacksmiths recreate daily
life in the 1700s. This historic community is a mainstay of the legendary Cape
Breton region, and boasts several buildings and landmarks that date as far back as 1786.
Learn about the tumultuous history that helped forge this early settlement into the city
that is today at the Cape Breton Centre for Heritage and Science. Strolling along the
Oceanfront Esplanade will lead you to numerous statues and plaques that celebrate Sydney’s
rich cultural heritage, while the nearby Cossit and Jost Houses are historical museums
that will take you back in time. Sydney River—just south of central Sydney—is a rich and
vibrant shopping district.
Charlottetown,
Prince Edward Island, Canada
PEI may be Canada's smallest province, but it's big on history and attractions.
Charlottetown was named for Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III. It is here that
the famous Conference of 1864 was held which resulted in the creation of the Canadian
confederacy. Learn all about it on a walking tour of Charlottetown, the provincial
capital. Or cast your vote for shopping, a lobster luncheon or a tour of the
picturesque farm that inspired Anne of Green Gables.
Quebec City, Quebec,
Canada
A tree-lined "Champs-Elysées," the lilt of French, a grand château on the river.
Is this Canada, or is it France? Oui, it is both---a bastion of French
culture in North America where impassioned Québécois hold dear their history, language and
culture. It's pure Old World Europe right smack in North America, the heart and soul
of francophone culture in the New World, and it's got a boisterous and down-to-earth
population proud to show it all off.
In short, it's hard not to be completely wowed by the place. Perched atop a cliff
that swoops down to the St Lawrence River, Québec City is the only walled city on the
continent north of Mexico. Nearby: Montmorency Falls, higher than Niagara.
Montréal, Quebec, Canada
Originally called Ville-Marie ('City of Mary'), the city takes its present name from
Mont-
Royal,
the triple-peaked hill located in the heart of the city, whose name was also initially
given to the island on which the city is located. The "joie de vivre" is palpable
and contagious in this vibrant, culturally diverse and cosmopolitan city of two million
inhabitants. Whether sipping a cappuccino at an outdoor café, gambling at the huge Casino
de Montreal complex or exploring historic Old Montreal, you can't escape without
experiencing the excitement and energy that pervade the entire city. Part French, part
English, totally intriguing. Among Montréal's enticements: the cobblestone
streets of lamp-lit Vieux Montréal, where the city began as a French colony in 1642;
heavenly Notre-Dame Basilica; endless festivals and street fairs in Place Jacques-Cartier.
