Overview

Click map for larger size

Get acquainted with the local culture and the seafaring traditions of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Maine on this fascinating vacation. Start your trip in Boston with an orientation tour. After sightseeing in Boston, head north via New Hampshire's shoreline and along Maine's rocky coast to Portland. The next two nights are in Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine's oldest summer resort. Visit Acadia National Park, one of America's most visited national parks. Then board a catamaran ferry from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth. Stop at the Fisheries Museum and continue to Peggy's Cove, a charming fishing village with a famous lighthouse perched on a massive granite ledge, and Halifax. Halifax features a sightseeing tour, including Fairview Cemetery, the final resting place for more than 100 people who perished on the Titanic. Then visit Sherbrook Village, whose renovated buildings recall the 1860s. Via the Canso Causeway, cross over to Cape Breton Island. In Baddeck, visit the Alexander Graham Bell Museum and enjoy a drive along the Cabot Trail, the area explored by John Cabot in the late 15th century. A ferry whisks you over to Prince Edward Island, where you enjoy a two-night stay in Charlottetown before traveling through New Brunswick to Saint John. Pass quiet fishing villages along the coastline into Maine, where you visit FDR's Campobello before ending your vacation in Boston.
