There's a distinctly nautical theme to this voyage up the eastern coast, as we leave the razzle and dazzle of New York behind for the more laidback pace of life lived by the rhythm of the tides. A sea day takes us to Nova Scotia, where we visit the capital, Halifax, and Sydney on Cape Breton. Both offer a fascinating look at maritime heritage, plus a chance to enjoy the wonderful seafood of the region. Then we come to Charlottetown, the lively capital of Prince Edward Island of Anne of Green Gablesfame, with its historic Victorian houses, craft beer taprooms and thriving arts scene. Next is Quebec and Les Iles-de-la-Madeleine - admire the rugged coastline and vast expanse of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence from atop the red sandstone cliffs. Another sea day allows for more time to enjoy the sumptuous features of the ship before we arrive, refreshed and reinvigorated, in Montreal, just in time to see the fall colors.
