Boston, Bar Harbour & Halifax from Philadelphia Cruise

Day 1 - Philadelphia

Arrive: Sat 26 September 2026 / Depart: Sat 26 September 2026 at 16:00

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city, is notable for its rich history, on display at the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed) and other American Revolutionary sites. Also iconic are the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, immortalized by Sylvester Stallone’s triumphant run in the film "Rocky."

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Portland, Maine, USA

Arrive: Mon 28 September 2026 at 10:00 / Depart: Mon 28 September 2026 at 20:00

Portland offers all the amenities of a big city: art districts, a vibrant waterfront, museums, parks and diverse shopping opportunities. But within minutes, you can be enjoying the view from an historic lighthouse or tasting a juicy, local lobster.

Day 4 - Bar Harbor, Maine, USA

Arrive: Tue 29 September 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Tue 29 September 2026 at 17:00

This coastal attraction has retained much of its charm since its glory days of the 1900s, when America's elite vacationed here in opulent summer cottages. Surrounding the rock-bound harbour is the world-famous Acadia National Park where the opulence of nature is on display.

Day 5 - St John, Canada

Arrive: Wed 30 September 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 30 September 2026 at 16:00

Although Champlain landed here in 1604 and named the town, it wasn't settled until 1783 by Loyalists fleeing the colonies during the American Revolution. Canada's Maritime Province of New Brunswick is intriguing, with its tidy farms, stately Georgian manors and tea at four. The topography is equally interesting: In a land of vast virgin forests and rushing rivers, fierce tides as high as 53 feet are fueled by the fingerlike Bay of Fundy.

Day 6 - Halifax

Arrive: Thu 01 October 2026 at 10:00 / Depart: Thu 01 October 2026 at 19:00

Admire the rugged coastline that surrounds Halifax, the world's second-largest natural harbour. This beautifully preserved city is Nova Scotia's capital and was founded in 1749. Take steps through history and climb to The Citadel to witness the Old Town Clock.

Day 7 - Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada

Arrive: Fri 02 October 2026 at 11:00 / Depart: Fri 02 October 2026 at 19:00

The coal industry brought immigration from many parts of the world, giving Sydney a multicultural mix of over 50 ethnic backgrounds and a global flavour to its history. Located on Cape Breton Island, Sydney is also an ideal jumping-off point for scenic adventures.

Arrive: Sat 03 October 2026 at 10:00 / Depart: Sat 03 October 2026 at 17:00

Day 9 - At Sea

Day 10 - Saguenay

Arrive: Mon 05 October 2026 at 11:30 / Depart: Mon 05 October 2026 at 20:00

The city of Saguenay, formed in 2002, is comprised of three boroughs: La Baie, Chicoutimi and Jonquiere. Chicoutimi and Jonquiere are situated on the shores of the Saguenay river and La Baie is found on the whimsically named, the Baie des Ha Ha! This French-speaking region is north of Québec City and is considered a small oasis in the midst of the nearly uninhabited Canadian wilderness.
