Grand Nova Scotia Cruise
8 Days ~ 7 Nights
Nova Scotia - Quebec - Prince Edward Island

Nova Scotia is surrounded and shaped by the sea, imagine how it will shape your life! Halifax is bursting with seacoast traditions, from old world cultures to lively neighborhoods brimming with intriguing boutiques. In 1885, Alexander Graham Bell and his family arrived by boat from the Strait of Canso. They fell in love with Baddeck and built a home on Beinn Bhreagh, as well as the original Bell Laboratory. Charmingly sited on the shore of Cape Breton's inland sea, The Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site was the summer home for Bell and his family. Don't miss a tour of the displays which are comprehensive in scope; among them are of course telephones, but also a 60-foot reproduction of the HD-4, which was an outgrowth of Bell's early flight experiments with man-lifting tetrahedral kites. Drop in on Green Gables, home to the author of Anne of Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, or experience state-of-the-art exhibits at Founders Hall, an interactive museum that describes the history of Canada. The true architectural jewel of downtown Charlottetown is the majestic St. Dunstan's Basilica. Adorned by three copper spires visible virtually anywhere in the city, the church adds to the Victorian splendor of the downtown core. In the remote archipelago of the Îles de la Madeleine you will find a rich French culture, peppered with amazing arts and crafts galleries, horse drawn carriage rides; with historical tours that illuminate the Acadian history of the islands, and a fascinating Seal Interpretation Center, where you can learn all there is to know about these wonderful creatures. Sit back, relax and revel in the natural beauty and wildlife that populate this lovely passage.
