US & Canada East Coast & New England

For more than 400 years, the land of opportunity has beckoned pioneers and industrialists to forge a brave new world. Here, the ocean breathes life into communities shaped by Acadian, English, and European influences. Journey through awe-inspiring landscapes and rugged coastlines as you immerse yourself in charming traditions, uncover fascinating history, and encounter iconic landmarks. Savour regional dishes, celebrate local customs, and admire the sustainable spirit that thrives in these tranquil, scenic surroundings.

The elongated continental coastline, a true melting pot of ethnicities, boasts a rich culinary heritage influenced by its history of immigrants, enslaved peoples, and Indigenous communities. Each region pays tribute to its cultural roots: sweet lobsters from the Canadian Maritimes; coffee infused with maple syrup or spirits flavoured with boreal herbs, mushrooms, or wildflowers along the St. Lawrence River; cider tasting at an orchard on the remote Magdalen Islands; and the decadent French soufflés, poutine, and foie gras pâté in Quebec City. For a touch of sophistication, indulge in Michelin-starred dining in New York City.

Before European explorers arrived, North America was home to First Americans — Mi'kmaq and Maliseet in the Canadian Maritimes, and the Tequesta in South Florida — who fished, foraged, and hunted across vast prairies teeming with buffalo. Later, European pioneers and English patriots left behind the legacies of heroic battles and poignant monuments to explore. Walk through the historic citadels of Quebec, uncover ancient architecture, admire charming lighthouses, and visit UNESCO World Heritage sites in both bustling cities and untouched lands.

Waves of cinematic landscapes unfurl along scalloped shores where time and tide have sculpted rugged cliffs, deep river canyons, and pine-covered slopes. Sail through a vivid tableau of rare wonders, from the colossal tidal shifts of the Bay of Fundy to the white sands and iconic green gables of Prince Edward Island. Hike through the majestic Saguenay Fjord National Park, explore the striking red cliffs of the Magdalen Islands, and marvel at the breathtaking Sept-Îles. Wander Quebec's bucolic villages and lake-dappled landscapes while keeping an eye out for migrating whales.
