  1. Day 1

    New York, USA

    New York does not ease you in; it arrives in a sweep of skyline, river and restless energy. From the harbor, Manhattan’s towers frame a city built for walking, looking up and changing plans. Spend time among Central Park’s paths, Fifth Avenue’s museums and the neighborhoods that give each block its own character. Allow room for a classic meal, a Broadway curtain and the simple pleasure of watching the city move.

  2. Day 2

    Newport RI, USA

    Newport rewards visitors who look beyond its famous mansions. This Rhode Island harbor town pairs Gilded Age grandeur with working waterfronts, historic lanes and Atlantic views. Tour The Breakers, the Vanderbilt summer home, then follow the Cliff Walk past oceanfront estates and crashing surf. Downtown, independent shops and seafood restaurants line streets shaped by centuries of seafaring trade. Allow time for a harbor sail or a visit to Fort Adams, where the coastline opens wide.

  3. Day 2

    Cape Cod Canal, USA

    Transit the Cape Cod Canal and watch New England’s coast redraw itself. This 17.4-mile waterway cuts across Cape Cod’s narrow neck. It links Cape Cod Bay with Buzzards Bay, avoiding the longer route around the peninsula. Opened in 1914, it remains one of the region’s defining engineering works. From the deck, look for the Bourne and Sagamore bridges, shore paths, and tidal currents that shape every passage.

  4. Day 3

    Boston, USA

    Boston rewards visitors who like their history close at hand and their cities easy to explore. From the waterfront, follow the Freedom Trail to landmarks of the American Revolution, including Faneuil Hall. Beacon Hill’s brick streets, the Public Garden and North End cafés reveal distinct sides of the city. Make time for harbor views and New England seafood; Boston’s pleasures are as tangible as its past. Its museums and universities give the compact city a lively, modern edge.

  5. Day 4

    Saint John NB, Canada

    Saint John is Canada’s oldest incorporated city, set where the Bay of Fundy meets the Saint John River. Its harbour has shaped the city for centuries. At Reversing Falls, the river battles the world’s highest tides. Walk Uptown’s brick streets, browse the historic City Market, and take in the waterfront. Here, maritime history and dramatic tides are part of the everyday view.

  6. Day 6

    Halifax, Canada

    Halifax rewards visitors who begin on foot, where the harbourfront’s historic warehouses, boardwalk and seafood restaurants meet. Climb to the star-shaped Halifax Citadel for broad harbour views. At the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, exhibits trace Nova Scotia’s seafaring past and Halifax’s connection to the Titanic. Beyond downtown, Peggy’s Cove pairs a working fishing village with a lighthouse set on wave-worn granite.

  7. Day 7

    Sydney NS, Canada

    Sydney is the working harbour at the heart of Cape Breton Island, where Gaelic, Acadian and Mi’kmaq histories meet. Walk the waterfront to see the Big Fiddle, then browse downtown shops and cafés along Charlotte Street. Beyond town, the reconstructed Fortress of Louisbourg brings 18th-century French colonial life into striking focus. Use Sydney as a base for Cape Breton’s coastal roads, where ocean views and small communities invite an unhurried day.

  8. Day 8

    Prince Edward Island, Canada

    Charlottetown is a compact capital with a claim to Canadian history: delegates met here in 1864 to discuss Confederation. Brick storefronts, leafy streets and a working waterfront make its centre easy to explore on foot. See Province House, where the conference began, then browse Victoria Row’s boutiques and cafés. Beyond town, red-sand beaches and pastoral lanes reward a longer outing. Come for history; stay for Prince Edward Island’s pleasures.

  9. Day 9

    Madeleine-Magdalen Islands, Canada

    The Magdalen Islands rise from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, closer to Prince Edward Island than mainland Quebec. Red cliffs, long beaches and fishing villages keep the sea in view. Explore historic La Grave on Île du Havre-Aubert, where fishers’ cottages and galleries line the waterfront. Follow the coast for smoked herring, fresh lobster and views worth a slower day ashore.

  10. Day 11

    Saguenay, Canada

    Your ship calls at La Baie, where the Saguenay River opens onto a landscape shaped by ice, forest and water. From here, the Saguenay Fjord’s steep cliffs and deep waters lead toward the St. Lawrence. Explore local history at the Musée du Fjord, or head to Chicoutimi for cafés, galleries and the Petite Maison Blanche. Return to the waterfront for wide views across the bay and a taste of Quebec’s maritime north.

  11. Day 12

    Quebec City, Canada

    Québec City is best explored on foot, where French-speaking Canada feels unmistakably distinct. Within the UNESCO-listed Historic District, stone walls, steep lanes and 17th-century façades tell the story of New France. Ride the funicular between Upper and Lower Town, then browse Petit-Champlain’s boutiques beside the St. Lawrence River. Allow time for the Plains of Abraham, where a pivotal 1759 battle changed the course of Canadian history. Come ashore ready to climb; the finest views reward a little effort.

  12. Day 13

    Montreal, Canada

    Montréal is a city of French character and North American energy, best explored on foot. From the Old Port, cobbled streets lead to Old Montréal’s grand squares, cafés and Notre-Dame Basilica. Climb or drive up Mount Royal for a broad view of the skyline and the St. Lawrence River. Then follow the city’s appetite, from market produce and bagels to inventive French-Canadian cooking. Allow time for the museums and lively terraces; Montréal’s pleasures are close together, but never feel hurried.
