Welcome to Montreal. The largest French-speaking city in the Americas, Montreal has European flair and is known for its festivals, arts and good food. Spend the day wandering historic cobblestoned streets, including atmospheric Rue Saint-Paul in Old Montreal. Gaze inside the 19th-century Gothic Revival Basilique Notre-Dame, or order a bagel or some poutine to go (the city’s famous French fries, cheese curds and gravy).
On board Scenic Eclipse, you'll meet the Captain, the crew and your butler. Settle into your spacious suite and join your fellow guests at the Sky Bar for a glass of Champagne before setting sail for your unforgettable journey towards New York City.
Please book your flight to arrive into Montreal prior to 02:00 PM.
Considered the cradle of French America, Quebec City is a World Heritage-listed fortified city founded in 1608. Step through more than 400 years of history in its charming cobblestone Old Town set within gates, towers and ramparts complete with cannons.
Perched atop the headland inside is the century-old Chateau Frontenac, which now houses the luxurious Fairmont Chateau Frontenac hotel and Notre-Dame de Quebec Cathedral. The 425-metre wooden boardwalk Dufferin Terrace, which is frequented by street entertainers, has views over St Lawrence River and the Lower Town. See the city lights twinkle as your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht departs port tonight.
Experience the splendour of scenic cruising along the St. Lawrence River today. This mighty waterway snakes for more than 1200 kilometres connecting Canada’s Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. It is known for the 40-plus traditional lighthouses that have helped sailors navigate this river for centuries.
Relax on board with a coffee on the private verandah of your spacious suite or dining with new friends in the casual Azure Bar & Café, as you pass quaint fishing villages. You may be lucky to view the riverside hardwood forests in their fiery autumnal glory at this time of year.
Charlottetown is Prince Edward Island’s vibrant capital – a small city with an island lifestyle. Prince Edward Island played a significant role in the confederation of Canada but its original occupants, the Mi’kmaq, lived here for 12,000 years. One of its biggest claims to fame is being the hometown of Lucy Maud Montgomery, who penned the classic novel Anne of Green Gables. It’s also a huge fishing and seafood destination with some 1000 kilometres of coastline and white-sand beaches. Explore the city's well-preserved history and architectural treasures, its bustling harbour and picturesque waterfront boardwalk.
The Port of Pictou has a rich heritage as the Birthplace of New Scotland and as one of the province’s largest lobster fisheries – it even hosts an annual lobster carnival. Spend the morning exploring the buzzy waterfront and museums where you can learn about its Scottish heritage and fishing industry.
Back on board, enjoy the panoramic views of rugged coastlines and historic lighthouses as we sail through Canso Strait. Curl up in a cabana on Deck 10 with a drink as you admire the ever-changing scenery or soak it up from the Observation Lounge.
Spend the day in Halifax, Nova Scotia's dynamic capital. This historic port city has a Downtown district boasting a four-kilometre harbourside boardwalk filled with restaurants, shops, museums, beer gardens and public art. Argyle Street is another happening area with live theatres and pubs that spill out on to the streets.
For a change of pace, Halifax Public Gardens occupy an entire block, complete with manicured lawns and floral displays. The hilltop fortress Halifax Citadel National Historic Site overlooks the city; a cannon has been fired here every day at noon since 1857 (except on Christmas Day).
A former rum-running and ship-building town, Lunenburg is arguably Canada’s most beautiful town. This World Heritage-listed site is a picturesque village with architectural wonders such as the 19th-century Victorian-style Lunenburg Academy, the pink Wedding Cake House, and the 18th-century St. John’s Anglican Church. The town is known for being one of the British Empire’s first Protestant settlements in Nova Scotia. It’s an extremely walkable city, so enjoy a relaxing day exploring its brightly painted homes, sample locally caught seafood, and find its many galleries and artisan studios.
Discover the coastal beauty of Bar Harbor. This is the gateway to Acadia National Park, which protects the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic Coast, as well as a landscape of ocean cliffs and rocky beaches, glacier-formed lakes and boreal forest. The town was a favourite summer getaway for the rich and famous in the 19th century, but many of its luxury homes on ‘Millionaires Row’ were destroyed by fire in 1947. Despite this, the town is filled with charm, with colourful clapboard storefronts and a variety of restaurants that serve lobster and wild blueberry-inspired dishes (Maine’s official fruit).
Follow the creative footsteps of Jackson Pollock in his spiritual hometown of Provincetown, Massachusetts. Since the 1940s, this coastal haven has lured artists to its shores – it is, after all, a place that celebrates freedom of expression and individuality. Indulge in a trolley tour for an exclusive experience of 'P-town,' explore galleries, and savour culinary delights at renowned restaurants.
Tonight, we will pass through the Cape Cod Canal transit, Massachusetts’s iconic water passage.
With a population just over 4000, the small town of Oak Bluffs is a beacon of inclusivity and diversity. It’s located on the island of Martha's Vineyard – which ironically has no operating vineyards – the setting of Dorothy West's Harlem Renaissance novel The Wedding. The town comprises charming 19th-century pastel-coloured gingerbread cottages, an ocean park, the oldest continually operating carousel in the United States, and enchanting views of Nantucket Sound.
Tonight perhaps meet your new friends at Sushi @ Koko’s for dinner. Enjoy entertainment in the state-of-the-art theatre and unwind with a nightcap at the Scenic Lounge Bar.
Cruise past the iconic Statue of Liberty and the breathtaking Manhattan skyline as you cruise into New York. From the bright lights of Broadway to leafy Central Park and the glitzy boutiques of Fifth Avenue, the Big Apple is an unmissable experience.
Spend the afternoon exploring this global city. Walk the bustling streets of Lower Manhattan's financial district, the charming corners of Greenwich Village, and uncover New York's tapestry of culture, culinary delights, and architectural splendour. In the metropolis that never sleeps, there's something for everyone. Return for your final night on board your ultra-luxury Scenic Eclipse.
Your cruise ends today in New York City. Savour one last luxurious breakfast on board your 6-star Discovery Yacht before saying farewell to the crew and new friends who have shared this remarkable journey with you. As you disembark, know you have created unforgettable memories.
Please book your flight to depart out of New York City after 12:00 PM.
+All drinks on board, including those stocked in your mini bar, are included, except for a very small number of rare, fine and vintage wines, Champagnes and spirits. #Spa treatments at additional cost.
