Day 1
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.
-
Day 3
Portland ME, USA
Portland follows the Willamette River, with the Columbia to its north and Mount Hood on the eastern horizon. Begin downtown at Powell’s City of Books, a landmark independent bookstore spanning an entire city block. Visit the Japanese American Historical Plaza beside the waterfront, or head to Washington Park’s International Rose Test Garden. Food carts, craft breweries and seasonal produce give the city its distinctive taste. Allow time for the Columbia River Gorge, whose waterfalls and trails lie east of town.
-
Day 4
Bar Harbor, USA
Bar Harbor is the gateway to Acadia National Park, where granite cliffs, spruce forests and coastal trails frame the Atlantic. Closer to town, the Shore Path follows the waterfront past elegant summer cottages and views across Frenchman Bay. Walkable streets lead to independent shops and restaurants serving Maine lobster and other local seafood. Take a boat trip for a different view of the islands, or explore Acadia’s carriage roads and mountain routes.
-
Day 5
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.
-
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.

Day 8
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.
