About Canada
Canada is the world's second-largest country and a natural fit for milestone travelers who want accessible wilderness, layered history, and vibrant cities. Small-ship and river cruises on the St. Lawrence, the Great Lakes, and Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coasts avoid the herded big-ship experience. U.S. visitors enjoy a familiar currency system, no language barrier in most regions, and short flights, while still feeling profoundly abroad.

Ports overview
Canada's cruise ports are defined by rivers, lakes, and seas rather than ocean liners. The St. Lawrence River and Saguenay Fjord form an inland waterway to the heart of Quebec; the Great Lakes offer a freshwater itinerary; Atlantic and Pacific coasts provide expedition-style sailing. Most ports are walkable or offer easy shuttles, and small-ship lines dominate.
Cruise season
May to October. June through September for warm weather and reliable whale sightings; late September into October for spectacular fall foliage in Quebec and the Maritimes. Some expedition departures to Labrador and the Arctic run July-August.
