A Journey Through Time and Tide

Trace the St. Lawrence River into the heart of French Canada, where Quebec City's fortified old town, Place Royale, and the grand Chateau Frontenac create one of North America's most romantic settings. The city is a living museum of narrow streets, stone houses, and centuries-old churches, and its cafe culture and French-inspired cuisine make it a highlight for every guest.

Continue into the Canadian Maritimes to discover Prince Edward Island's red-sand shores and Anne of Green Gables countryside, the living Celtic culture and spectacular Bras d'Or Lakes of Cape Breton Island, and the bustling harbour city of Halifax with its maritime heritage, waterfront boardwalk, and stunning public gardens. This is a region of warm welcomes, toe-tapping fiddle music, and some of the best lobster and seafood on earth.

Across the border, New England unfolds in picture-book fashion. Stroll through the elegant seaport of Bar Harbor, gateway to Acadia National Park's granite peaks and ocean-hugging carriage roads, and explore the proud maritime communities of Maine and beyond. Along the way, enjoy Holland America Line's signature gracious service, refined dining, enriching onboard presentations, and relaxing days at sea to savour the scenery.
