    New York, United States
    • New York, United States
    Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. New York City is at once romantic and exhilarating. From the robust streets of Lower Manhattan's financial district to the intimate warrens of Greenwich Village, the city overflows with culture, cuisine, and architectural beauty. New York is for everyone. Music lovers marvel at Carnegie Hall or catch a 1920s-style jazz and blues show in Harlem. Romantics board a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park. Art lovers browse the Museum of Modern Art or the Guggenheim. And theatergoers attend the greatest shows in the world on Broadway, amid the glitter of Times Square. ...

    Cruising the Atlantic Ocean
    • Cruising the Atlantic Ocean
    Sail the Atlantic Ocean, divided in half, north to south, by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Longer than the Rockies, the Himalayas, and the Andes combined, this underwater mountain range is the longest on Earth. Enjoy the amenities of your ship as you sail. Perhaps take a breath of fresh air on a brisk walk around the Promenade Deck or begin your day with a workout in the well-equipped Fitness Center. ...

    Halifax, Canada
    • Halifax, Canada
    Halifax exudes a fine European air and lies along the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors by sea are greeted by the 1758 Sambro Island Lighthouse, the oldest surviving beacon in North America. In the harborside Historic Properties district, grand and charming stone buildings built in the 18th and 19th centuries grace the cobblestone streets. The city grew up around Citadel Hill, where Fort George protected the harbor. The fortress, along with the adjacent stately Halifax Town Clock, has been gloriously restored and preserved. ...

    Cruising the Atlantic Ocean
    • Cruising the Atlantic Ocean
    Sail legendary waters, where medieval Europeans believed "there be dragons" beyond the ocean's horizon. As you sail, admire the surrounding vistas from the Finse Terrace, an outdoor lounge area designed to keep you warm in colder climes while enjoying the dramatic scenery.

    Charlottetown, Canada
    • Charlottetown, Canada
    Prince Edward Island evokes the simplicity of Canada's maritime life, a fertile mix of fishing and farming. In the capital of Charlottetown, tree-lined streets shade restored 19th-century mansions and tidy green parcels dot provincial squares. The island has been molded by rich Scottish and French heritages, as evidenced by the traditional ceilidh, or kitchen party, that still unites friends and neighbors. Besides its picturesque landscapes, the island's biggest draw might be the farmhouse that inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery to write her famous novel Anne of Green Gables. ...

    Cap-Aux-Meules, Canada
    • Cap-Aux-Meules, Canada
    The village of Cap-aux-Meules-or Grindstone Cape-was named for the headland on Grindstone, one of Quebec's thirteen Magdalen Islands. Its French moniker, rarely used in English, is nonetheless its official name. This is the second largest of the Magdalens by area, a low-lying expanse ringed by rugged shores that was inhabited by the Mi'kmaq tribe when they came on a seasonal walrus hunt. The first European to step on this land was Jacques Cartier in 1534. Today, some islanders are descendants of shipwreck survivors and live in houses built out of wood retrieved from the waters. ...

    • Sept-Iles, Canada
    Sept-Iles-French for "Seven Islands"-faces the Gulf of St. Lawrence from its northern shore. The city is named for the archipelago it faces. Basque fishermen arrived here to take advantage of the gulf's whaling and cod fishing followed in 1535 by Jacques Cartier, who called the archipelago the "Round Islands". Fur trade began during the following century. Before that, the First Nations Innu people called this area home for centuries and still today are a major cultural influence, embracing their spiritual bond with the natural world that surrounds their city on the water. ...

    Saguenay, Quebec, Canada, Canada
    • Saguenay, Quebec, Canada, Canada
    Saguenay is one of southern Quebec's most cosmopolitan cities. It consists of three boroughs: Jonquiere, Chicoutimi, and La Baie. Once neighboring towns, they were merged to form the present-day city in 2002. Except for some Inuit and Cree villages, there are no towns due north between Saguenay and the Arctic. Like so many Canadian cities founded amid woodland, Saguenay grew its pulp and paper trade with the late-19th-century arrival of the Canadian National Railway. Since then, this resilient town has recovered from a great fire, a landslide, and a flood. ...

    Quebec City, Canada
    • Quebec City, Canada
    Quebec City is by many accounts the most French city in New France. The Old Town's centerpiece, the magnificent Chateau Frontenac, seems transported from the palatial landscapes of the Loire Valley, and its French-accented streets lead past white-stone buildings that evoke old-world medieval villages. The only remaining walled city in North America outside of Mexico, Quebec City was fortified in the 17th century soon after its founding in 1608. Its strategic setting on the rocky promontory of Cape Diamond gave troops a close view of the St. Lawrence. ...

    • Trois Rivieres, Canada
    Trois-Rivieres is the cultural center of Quebec's Maurice region. This picturesque city was established in 1634, the second-after Quebec City, in 1608-to be permanently settled in New France. With its strategic location, it played an important role as all eyes looked west to trade fur with the First Nations peoples. The city is located at the point where two islands in the Saint-Maurice River break the waterway into three channels before it spills into the St. Lawrence. Today, stately century-old buildings form the core of the Old Town. ...

    St. Lawrence Seaway, Canada
    • St. Lawrence Seaway, Canada
    Seaway Locks Transit: A brilliant feat of engineering, the St. Lawrence Seaway comprises a series of locks, canals, and channels that allow ships and goods to travel from the Atlantic Ocean up the St. Lawrence River to Lake Superior. Seven locks point the way between Montreal and Lake Ontario, detouring past rapids and several dams. The 27-mile Welland Canal lifts ships over the Niagara Escarpment to Lake Erie, sidestepping Niagara Falls. The Canadian-and-American-operated waterway is known locally as "Highway H2O" for the traffic and trade it allows. ...

    Toronto, Canada
    • Toronto, Canada
    Toronto is beloved by many as one of Canada's boldest and most innovative capitals. Hugging the shores of Lake Ontario and facing the picturesque Toronto Islands, it was founded by British loyalists fleeing the American Revolution in 1793. Today the city is a pleasure to explore on foot, whether strolling past the Victorian bay-and-gable homes of Rosedale, or the historic enclave of Wychwood Park, an Ontario Heritage Conservation District. The city's Distillery District is home to North America's largest preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture. ...

    Toronto, Canada
    • Toronto, Canada
    Toronto is home to a wealth of diverse cultures that each bring their own customs, traditions, and food to this cosmopolitan city. More than half of the population were born outside of Toronto and the city's districts represent all corners of the globe; Greektown, Little Italy, Koreatown, and Chinatown offer a literal taste of the city's renowned ethnic communities. One of Toronto's historic treasures is St. Lawrence Market, which first operated here in 1803. Today, everything from fresh farmers produce to antiques grace the stalls of its vendors. After breakfast, disembark your ship and journey home. ...
