  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 3

    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.

  3. Day 4

    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.

  4. Day 5

    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.

  5. Day 6

    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.

  6. Day 8

    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.
