See the green-peaked roofs of the Parliament, the Royal Canadian Mint, City Hall and the National Art Gallery. Then, follow the St. Lawrence River to Quebec City, the first French settlement in North America, reminiscent of a medieval European village. This evening is at leisure to enjoy this romantic city. Perhaps join your Tour Director for an optional French Bistro dinner inside the walled city. Hotel: Hilton Quebec (B)

Day 5 - QUEBEC CITY SIGHTSEEING

Let a local guide show you the unique European charm of this historic city, with its Latin Quarter, Plains of Abraham, ramparts, National Assembly, Basilica, City Hall, Place Royale and Citadel.

The lifeblood of French Canada, the St. Lawrence River delivered explorer Jacques Cartier to indigenous peoples in 1534. Today it will deliver you to majestic landscapes, rich aquatic life and multiple species of whales that feed at the St. Lawrence Estuary. (B,L,D)

Day 10 - CRUISING - CHARLOTTETOWN

Call in at Charlottetown, where red double-decker buses motor along streets lined with Victorian houses.

Day 11 - CRUISING - SYDNEY

Alexander Graham Bell observed,"I have travelled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes and the Alps, and the Highlands of Scotland; but for simply beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all." Perhaps join an optional shore excursion along the 184-mile-long Cabot Trail, or be a soldier for the day at Louisbourg - the choice is yours.

Day 12 - CRUISING - HALIFAX

Lighthouses stand sentinel on cliff-side ledges; tiny villages huddle in rocky inlets; lobsters make it from the ocean to your plate in record time - all in Nova Scotia. In Halifax, the ramparts of the Citadel defend the city and await your inspection. (B,L,D)

Day 13 - CRUISING - BAR HARBOR

Tucked into a cove by Acadia National Park is Bar Harbor, a quintessential New England coastal town. Enjoy an optional bike ride or kayak adventure, participate in a lobster bake and chew on hand-stretched taffy from an upscale boutique. (B,L,D)
