Itinerary
Boston, Massachusetts
Following your flight from Dublin, you will be transferred to the port to board the 5-star Sapphire Princess for your cruise to Quebec.
Portland, Maine
Seagulls scream the smell of beer and fish fry flows through the streets like the fog off Casco Bay, and everywhere the salt wind licks your skin. Maine’s largest city has capitalized on the gifts of its port history – the redbrick warehouse buildings, the narrow cobblestone streets – to become one of the hippest, most vibrant small cities in the Americas. You’ll find excellent museums and galleries, abundant green space, and both a food culture and a brewing scene worthy of a town many times its size.
Set on a peninsula, Portland’s always been a city of the sea. Today, the Old Port district is the town’s historic heart, with handsomely restored brick buildings filled with cafes, shops and bars. There are more hipsters than fishmongers living here these days, but there’s also genuine ethnic diversity – Portland boasts a large African population – generally lacking in the rest of Maine.
Saint John, New Brunswick (for the Bay of Fundy), Canada
Saint John, Canada’s oldest settlement is the gateway to the scenic wonders of New Brunswick. One of Canada’s oldest provinces, New Brunswick remains remarkably unspoiled: 85 percent of the province remains unsettled. New Brunswick boasts vast forests, purling streams, gentle hills, rich farmlands, and a spectacular coastline dotted by historic towns. Nature also blessed the area with one of her most astonishing phenomena: the reversing River Rapids. The fierce tides of the Bay of Fundy rise with such force that they actually cause the St. John River to reverse direction and its waters to flow upstream. Saint John’s history dates to 1604, when the Sieur de Champlain landed nearby on the feast day of Saint John the Baptist. After the American Revolution, American Loyalists flocked to the area. Saint John became a thriving industrial port. But the catastrophic fire of 1877, declining commerce and decades of neglect gave the town a sad and careworn look for decades. That changed in recent years. Redevelopment of the waterfront and the old district has restored Saint John’s charm and its sense of history.
At Sea
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
The capital of Nova Scotia and the largest city in Canada’s Atlantic Provinces, Halifax was once Great Britain’s major military bastion in North America. The beautifully restored waterfront buildings of Halifax’s Historic Properties recall the city’s centuries-old maritime heritage. Stroll the waterfront, and you may find Nova Scotia’s floating ambassador, the schooner Bluenose II, tied up to Privateer’s Wharf, just as old sailing ships have done for over 200 years. Halifax is also the gateway to Nova Scotia’s stunning scenery, including famous Peggy’s Cove, where surf-pounded granite cliffs and a solitary lighthouse create an unsurpassed scene of rugged natural beauty.
Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
The second-biggest city in Nova Scotia and the only real city on Cape Breton Island, Sydney is the embattled core of the island’s collapsed industrial belt. The now-closed steel mill and coal mines were the region’s largest employers and now the city feels a bit empty, but there are some lovely older houses, especially in the North End residential areas where most of the B&Bs are found. Overall, the city is well serviced and you get more bang for your buck staying here as a base to explore Louisbourg and the Cabot Trail than you would in more scenic areas.
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
If it weren’t for its isolation and inhospitable winters, charming Charlottetown might just be one of the loveliest, affordable places to live, anywhere. Failing that, a visit is recommended. This little city is the perfect size with big-city benefits minus the unpleasant stuff like overcrowding, pollution and the need for public transportation.
Historically, in 1864, it was here that the Confederation Conference set in motion a series of events that led to the birth of the nation of Canada, and while the whole compact capital in itself is like walking through a beautifully preserved local history museum, there aren’t many attractions to speak of.
There is, however, a burgeoning restaurant scene capitalizing on the island’s abundant seafood and fresh produce, combined with its wealth of talented graduates from the Culinary Institute of Canada. Add a lively cultural scene and you have a capital city oozing small-town feel and appeal.

At Leisure
Saguenay, Quebec, Canada
The Saguenay Fjord Route is an outstanding landscape of sea, mountains and rising cliffs protected by three National Parks. Its exceptional natural beauty can be discovered by land, sea or air. With a decidedly French atmosphere and a touch of the Old World, the banks of the Saguenay Fjord are lined with charming villages surrounded by beautiful landscapes.
Saguenay
The picturesque town of Saguenay is actually the union of a number of cities and townships and serves as the gateway to the majestic Saguenay Fjord, an area rich in history and culture.
Saguenay Fjord National Park
Carved by ancient glaciers, the fjord ranks as the most southerly fjord in the northern hemisphere. Four species of whales and 54 species of fish call this 65-mile-long, two-mile-wide fjord their home.
Quebec City, Canada
On disembarking you will be transferred to the airport for your return flight home
