Baltimore is a major city in Maryland with a long history as an important seaport. Fort McHenry, birthplace of the U.S. national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” sits at the mouth of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Today, this harbor area offers shops, upscale crab shacks and attractions like the Civil War–era warship the USS Constellation and the National Aquarium, showcasing thousands of marine creatures.

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Boston, USA

Arrive: Mon 09 September 2024 at 08:00 / Depart: Mon 09 September 2024 at 20:00

Welcome to an American city where history truly does come to life. Be sure to visit Bunker Hill Monument, Paul Revere's House, the Old North Church, Quincy Market and the mansions of Beacon Hill. Then wander Boston Common, the oldest public park in the U.S.

Day 4 - Bar Harbor, Maine, USA

Arrive: Tue 10 September 2024 at 09:00 / Depart: Tue 10 September 2024 at 17:00

This coastal attraction has retained much of its charm since its glory days of the 1900s, when America's elite vacationed here in opulent summer cottages. Surrounding the rock-bound harbour is the world-famous Acadia National Park where the opulence of nature is on display.

Day 5 - St. John, New Brunswick, Canada

Arrive: Wed 11 September 2024 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 11 September 2024 at 16:00

Although Champlain landed here in 1604 and named the town, it wasn't settled until 1783 by Loyalists fleeing the colonies during the American Revolution. Canada's Maritime Province of New Brunswick is intriguing, with its tidy farms, stately Georgian manors and tea at four. The topography is equally interesting: In a land of vast virgin forests and rushing rivers, fierce tides as high as 53 feet are fueled by the fingerlike Bay of Fundy.

Day 6 - Halifax

Arrive: Thu 12 September 2024 at 10:00 / Depart: Thu 12 September 2024 at 19:00

Admire the rugged coastline that surrounds Halifax, the world's second-largest natural harbour. This beautifully preserved city is Nova Scotia's capital and was founded in 1749. Take steps through history and climb to The Citadel to witness the Old Town Clock.

Day 7 - Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada

Arrive: Fri 13 September 2024 at 11:00 / Depart: Fri 13 September 2024 at 19:00

The coal industry brought immigration from many parts of the world, giving Sydney a multicultural mix of over 50 ethnic backgrounds and a global flavour to its history. Located on Cape Breton Island, Sydney is also an ideal jumping-off point for scenic adventures.

Arrive: Sat 14 September 2024 at 11:00 / Depart: Sat 14 September 2024 at 19:00

Opulent clapboard villas lead the way towards Charlottetown's beautiful Victoria Park. Colours is everywhere - from the Victorian architecture to the red sandstone cliffs. Sample homemade island jams, visit the Anne of Green Gables homestead and stroll the boardwalk.

Day 9 - At Sea

Day 10 - Saguenay

Arrive: Mon 16 September 2024 at 11:00 / Depart: Mon 16 September 2024 at 20:00

The city of Saguenay, formed in 2002, is comprised of three boroughs: La Baie, Chicoutimi and Jonquiere. Chicoutimi and Jonquiere are situated on the shores of the Saguenay river and La Baie is found on the whimsically named, the Baie des Ha Ha! This French-speaking region is north of Québec City and is considered a small oasis in the midst of the nearly uninhabited Canadian wilderness.
