Canada and New England Cruise
Introduction
Old-world architecture, dramatic coastal vistas and pastoral charm captivate visitors of Canada and New England. Predominantly influenced by the French, Canada is a vibrant kaleidoscope of culture that plays host to both cosmopolitan cities bursting with glass-panned skyscrapers and zealous hockey fans, and rugged seaside villages dominated by stunning lighthouses and expert fishermen.
New England's historic prominence goes without saying. Legends of the storied birth of the American Revolution are retold throughout this region's museums and brewpubs, and Paul Revere, John Hancock and other revolutionary figures are still local celebrities. New England's extraordinary history is equaled only by its landscape, which gives way to sprawling vineyards, forested hills, beautiful craggy beaches and coastal mountains.
Getting Around
Guided tours are the easiest way to fully digest this region's gorgeous landscape and learn all the chapters of its history. If you have visited either Canada or New England before, you may want to bypass the prominent attractions and search for the next adventure on your own. But a tour guide is needed if you're just interested in seeing the best of the best in the least amount of time.
If you do follow a guide and have time to explore on your own before or after the tour, do some shopping, find a great restaurant and spend some time admiring local architecture. Or visit a nearby museum or art gallery. |
