Franklin D. Roosevelt was so awestruck by Campobello Island's soft, yet bracing air that he made the island a summer retreat for his family. In honor of FDR's memory, the Roosevelt Campobello International Park preserves all the natural beauties his family knew.

Cruising along the magnificent shoreline of Prince Edward Island, you'll come to the captivating town of Charlottetown. Visit Green Gables, literary home of Lucy Maud Montgomery's charming tale Anne of Green Gables. Delve into the past at the Fortress of Louisbourg, on Cape Breton Island, the largest historical reconstruction in Canada.

Immerse yourself in history, literature, and the natural wonders that this region has to offer. . . the adventure awaits.

Itinerary

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 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.

Eastport, Maine
Eastport is the easternmost port in the United States, and is terrifically photogenic; the very picture of what a small New England town should look like. With legions of fine old homes over-looking a distinctive Victorian brick downtown and the fair waters of the bay beyond. The waters of Passamaquoddy Bay and Cobscook Bay converge in Eastport generating some of the highest tidal ranges in the United States, alternately filling and draining the smaller bays beyond. For several hours the incoming tide actually roars through these “Cobscook Reversing Falls”.

Campobello Islands, New Brunswick
Campobello Island is a Canadian island located in the Bay of Fundy and lies just off the shore of the most eastern town in the United States: Lubec, Maine. Campobello Island was the beloved island of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt who eventually made it their summer home. Their magnificent 34-room residence is the centerpiece of the Roosevelt Campobello International Park, preserved as a memorial and as a symbol of the close relationship between Canada and the United States. In honor of their memory, the Roosevelt Campobello International Park preserves all of the natural beauties the Roosevelt family knew.

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
Established in 1753 as the first British Colonial settlement in Nova Scotia, Lunenburg is one of Nova Scotia’s most historic and appealing villages. Many of its downtown buildings possess a distinctive style with ornamental brackets and pointy towers complimenting the brightly painted designs. A growing number of art galleries and crafts shops make for a rewarding browsing experience. The breath-taking Lunenburg waterfront is the home of the world-class Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, with aquarium exhibits and a replica of the Bluenose, Canada’s most- recognized and most-storied ship (check out your Canadian Dime).

Louisbourg, Nova Scotia
Don’t miss the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, on Cape Breton Island, the largest historical reconstruction in Canada. The French began building the fortress in 1719 to serve as the first line of defense against the British in their struggle for North America. Even though the fortress walls we destroyed after the battle of 1758, today the reconstructed fortress allows one to step back in time and watch the re-enactment of everyday life and work from centuries ago.

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.
