From the changing of the guard in the Citadel cities of Halifax and Sydney, to the deep blue waters of the St. Lawrence River, to the rich red soil of Prince Edward Island, Holland America offers you all this and much more on a Canada, New England & Nova Scotia Cruise. It’s a perfect summer getaway to some of the most popular ports of call on the eastern seaboard.

PORTS OF CALL
Quebec City: As the only fortified city in North America, Quebec City retains its “Old World” charm with the imposing Chateau Frontenac Hotel that sits at the top of the hill seeming to guard the entrance to the City. You’ll feel like you’re in France when you explore Quebec City.

St. Lawrence River: Cruising the St. Lawrence River affords the viewer spectacular mountain scenery formed by glaciers. This important river supplies fresh water to the world’s largest system of fresh water lakes – the Great Lakes. You’ll want to sit back and enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island:
Step into a slower pace when you visit Prince Edward Island – the smallest of all of the Canadian provinces. Charlottetown was the “birthplace of Confederation” that formed Canada’s independence and provinces. Prince Edward Island is known as “Canada’s Ireland" and boasts 7 shades

of green throughout the countryside. Don’t forget about “Anne of Green Gables,” the beloved story of a young girl’s childhood written by Lucy Montgomery.

Sydney, Nova Scotia: Sydney, on scenic Sydney Harbor, is an important seaport and commercial capital of picturesque Cape Breton Island. Known for the Cabot Trail, the most scenic rated highway in North America, Sydney has much to see, and its Citadel was an imposing rampart to anyone who dared to attack her.

Halifax, Nova Scotia: Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, boasts museums, shops, galleries, and the historic Citadel – the massive star-shaped fortification that sits atop and guards this historic city. From the Titanic graves to the historic waterfront boardwalk, Halifax has something for everyone.

Bar Harbor, Maine: The beauty of Bar Harbor is unmatched on the eastern seaboard. With its entrance to the Acadia National Park, the beauty of the sea, mountains, lakes and forest, have made this one of the nation’s most popular resorts. Known for being the playground for America’s wealthy, Bar Harbor retains its maritime charm and offers the visitor so many choices that include Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor Whale Watch Cruise, Windjammer Cruises, Estate tours, and much more.
