Canada’s Maritime Provinces

A Fall Foliage Voyage Through English and French Colonial History
September 25 – October 4, 2010

Much of this region, which once resounded with the footsteps of explorers, trappers and Native Americans, remains virtually untouched and wonderfully inviting. Citadels, churches and homes bear witness to the empires that shaped Canada, as the French and English once positioned for control of the New World, while bustling cities offer a taste of the region’s modern charm. The cruise aboard the luxurious Clelia II begins in Toronto and cruises the St. Lawrence River and Gulf of St. Lawrence culminating in St. John’s. Ports of call include Montreal, Quebec, Gaspe Peninsula, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Download brochure
