Ports of Call

Boston (Days 1, 8)

Boston is an exciting, vibrant city, proud of the role it played in the formation of the United States. Experience the birth of a nation with a walk along the historic Freedom Trail, board the amazing replica of one of the Boston Tea Party ships or visit the USS Constitution to capture the spirit of our glorious past.
Attractions & Activities
Walk the cobblestone and brick of the Freedom Trail and you'll see many monuments to Boston's rich history. Beginning at Boston Common, you'll pass the site of the Boston Massacre and go on to Faneuil Hall, Paul Revere's House and Charlestown, among many other places central to American history.

Saint John (Day 2)

New Brunswick is a land of vast virgin forests, rushing rivers where salmon run free, and fierce tides that are the wonder of the world. It is also the home of tidy farms in gentle valleys, stately Georgian manors on cobbled streets, tea at four, and two distinct cultures - the Acadian French and the Loyalist English, who have co-existed peacefully for four centuries. St. John is Canada's oldest incorporated city, founded by Samuel Champlain in 1604. Most of its residents are descendants of Loyalists from the American Revolution. Explore the lovely St. John River Valley and walk across the longest covered bridge in the world.

Norfolk (Day 4)

With its sparkling downtown waterfront, tall glimmering buildings and storied maritime heritage, Norfolk, Virginia stands today as the Mid Atlantic region's most dynamic and progressive cultural center.

New York City (Days 5, 6)

One of the great thrills of a lifetime is cruising in or out of New York Harbor. The Statue of Liberty, with her torch held high, beckons you as she has for decades. The skyline of Manhattan is almost mythical, full of great landmarks of mondern history. The early 1922 jazz musicians called any city an apple, but this was the big one.
