About Canada Cruises
Saint John on the Bay of Fundy combines old and new as modern office buildings surround heritage shops and colourful traditional houses. The city has a mix of influences including Irish, and a lively arts scene. Canada cruises also visit Halifax, capital of Nova Scotia and dominated by a hilltop citadel, and picturesque Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, which appears relatively unchanged from its 19th-century heyday.
Sept-Isles was once a quiet fishing village which boomed after World War II. Today it attracts ornithologists due to its colonies of puffins which inhabit the islands of an archipelago park just off shore. Quebec City is also a highlight on no-fly cruises to Canada. It is the only walled city north of Mexico and its historic heart is the UNESCO-listed Old City with its cobbled streets and elaborate cathedrals.
Cruises to Canada can visit picturesque New England, incredible in the autumn when the leaves change. Newport on Rhode Island is a famous yachting centre and home to magnificent mansions built for millionaires in the 1920s, including the famous Breakers. Bar Harbour in Maine is centred around lobster fishing and is the gateway to Acadia National Park, while Boston is renowned for the infamous ‘Tea Party’ revolution.
