Leg 1 · Embarkation

Québec

Nordamerika – Strandpromenade an der Küste

High above the St. Lawrence River in the Canadian province of the same name, this historic capital reigns as the only city in North America with intact fortified walls. The old town with its iconic Château Frontenac, cobbled lanes and French colonial flair is a UNESCO World Heritage site and regarded as the most European city on the continent.

Leg 2

Tadoussac

Nordamerika – zerklüftete Atlantikküste

Tadoussac sits in Canada's Québec where the deep Saguenay Fjord meets the Saint Lawrence River. It is regarded as one of the world's finest spots for watching belugas and blue whales.

Leg 3

Percé

At the easternmost tip of Quebec's Gaspésie peninsula where it meets the Gulf of St. Lawrence, this town is inseparable from Rocher Percé, an 88-metre limestone monolith pierced by a natural arch. Off the coast on Bonaventure Island nests one of the world's largest gannet colonies.

Leg 4

Cap-aux-Meules, Magdalenen-Inseln

Cap-aux-Meules is the principal town and only deep-water port of the Magdalen Islands in the Canadian Gulf of Saint Lawrence, an archipelago belonging to the province of Quebec. The islands are famed for their red sandstone cliffs, endless dune beaches and a distinctive Acadian island culture.

Leg 5

Louisbourg

Port town on the Atlantic coast of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. The reconstructed 18th-century French Fortress of Louisbourg is the largest historical reconstruction in North America, with costumed interpreters.

Leg 6

Halifax

Halifax Skyline at Sunset

Halifax is the capital of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, on the Atlantic coast. The port town has one of the largest natural harbours in the world.

Leg 7

Yarmouth, Nova Scotia

Yarmouth sits in the south-west of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia at the entrance to the Bay of Fundy. Victorian sea captains' houses and the nearby Acadian coast shape the town's character.

Leg 8

Boston

Boston is the capital of Massachusetts on the US Atlantic coast and, at over 380 years old, one of America's oldest cities. The Freedom Trail leads past 16 historic sites of the American Revolution, from Boston Common to the Bunker Hill Monument.

Leg 9

Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard

On the island of Martha's Vineyard in the US state of Massachusetts lies Oak Bluffs on the north-eastern Sound shore off Cape Cod. The Victorian gingerbread cottages of the former Methodist tent meeting with their colourful 19th-century wood carving are its most famous landmark, as is the oldest continuously operating carousel in the USA, the Flying Horses Carousel of 1876.

Leg 10

Newport

The Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island

Newport sits on Aquidneck Island in the US state of Rhode Island on Narragansett Bay on the Atlantic coast. The harbour town is known for its Gilded Age mansions such as The Breakers along the Cliff Walk, for the Vanderbilts' Marble House and for an international sailing tradition as the long-time host of the America's Cup between 1930 and 1983.

Leg 11 · Disembarkation
