Itinerary

Québec City
Quebec City is nestled beside the majestic St. Lawrence River, where enchanting old stone houses cozy up to great religious institutions built from the same stone. The old city is a sheer delight for history buffs. Walk along the streets of Old Quebec, which is lined with magnificent churches, fragrant gardens, and chic boutiques and will lead you to the Musée de la Civilization. Here you will see four centuries of life and the emotions of the settlers who developed this area remarkably and clearly evoked.

Saguenay Fjord (Tadoussac)
The villages along the Saguenay Fjord can be reached by road, but the best way to experience this magnificent waterway is from the water. Where the St. Lawrence and the Saguenay meet is one of the most popular whale-watching spots in Canada. The thriving natural conditions in the estuary support a permanent colony of a thousand whales. Beautiful views of the length of the fjord are found at Cap Trinite, a cliff that rises above the channel, with a 33-foot statue of the Virgin Mary surveying the scenery from the lowest ledge.

Percé
Percé is a small, charming village on the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec. Famous among its points of interest is Percé Rock, a natural tourist attraction stretching its fifteen hundred foot length just offshore. A compelling presence, altering its appearance as the light changes, the rock exercises a potent fascination on all who see it. It can be reached on foot at low tide, the best way to appreciate the grandeur of the cliffs, which are nearly 300 feet high in places. A broader perspective on this marvel can be achieved from the top of Mount Sainte-Anne.

Îles de la Madeleine, Quebec
In 1755, French-speaking Acadians inhabited the islands, while another segment of the population come from survivors of the over 400 shipwrecks on the islands. The few fishing families who make their home this remote archipelago have taken to painting their cottages in a bright and beautiful array of primary hues. As well as the charming ancient villages, the islands are home to some of the most relaxing beaches in Canada, celebrated for their fine sand and sheltered position. The islands’ beaches provide habitat for the endangered Piping Plover and the Roseate Tern.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
The pastoral Prince Edward Island is known for its world famous, lush golf courses and sandy beaches. Green Gables, an old farmhouse immortalized in Lucy Maud Montgomery’s cherished 1908 novel, Anne of Green Gables, is high among the list of favorite places to visit. Experience state of the art exhibits at Founders Hall, an interactive museum that describes the history of Canada. The true architectural jewel of downtown Charlottetown is the majestic St. Dunstan's Basilica. Adorned by three copper spires visible virtually anywhere in the city, the church adds to the Victorian splendor of the downtown core.

Baddeck
The picturesque village of Baddeck is situated on the shores of the beautiful Bras d'Or Lake in the heart of Cape Breton Island. In 1885, Alexander Graham Bell and his family arrived by boat from the Strait of Canso and fell in love with Baddeck. They returned the next year to Baddeck to build a vacation home on Beinn Bhreagh, where Alexander Bell conducted much of his scientific work. Today the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site contains a unique exhibit complex where models, replicas, photo displays, artifacts, and films describe the fascinating life and work of Alexander Graham Bell.

Halifax, Nova Scotia
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 colorful history of Samuel Cunard, a Nova Scotia native, who founded the Cunard Steam Ship Company to carry the royal mail and along the way established an ocean dynasty.
