Splendorous western cruises: Vancouver to Alaska

Ocean cruises through British Columbia’s beautiful Inside Passage to Alaska depart regularly from Vancouver, soon to be hosting the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Vancouver is one of Canada’s largest cities, in fact the largest in Western Canada, located right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. There’s a lot to see and do before the ship leaves port, from shopping on Robson, walking through historic Gastown, or venturing across the Capilano Suspension Bridge or on the aerial tram to the top of Grouse Mountain. Options for cruising range from small private yachts to larger ships and travelers can opt to cruise all the way to the Gulf of Alaska or perhaps combine a cruise through the Inside Passage with a rail trip to the interior of this celebrated wilderness state.

Enchanting East Coast cruises: New England to Canada

Several East Coast cruise options start in the territory of our nearest neighbour, the United States of America. Most seven-day cruises depart from Boston, MA or Bar Harbour, ME in America’s New England before the cruise ships follow the scenic coastline north through Atlantic waters to Canada’s beautiful East Coast. Small ships or larger vessels voyage to a variety of Canadian destinations in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Québec, and New Brunswick. Longer itineraries along the Atlantic coast may extend as far as either Fort Lauderdale, FL or Norfolk, VA. As with all holiday itineraries with Canada Your Way, cruises may be combined with rail journeys or other inland activities.
