Martimes river cruise

There's a lot to enjoy in Eastern Canada, and the large and historic St. Lawrence Seaway makes a river cruise an exceptional way to explore the Eastern seaboard from Montréal all the way to the Great Lakes. Several river cruise packages combine a voyage through the Atlantic and the Maritime provinces of Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island with a journey down the St. Lawrence Seaway and its series of canal locks.

Diversions aplenty

Points of discovery include the Celtic-imbued heritage of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, the rich red soil and friendly hospitality of Prince Edward Island, and the colonial past that is well preserved in the old parts of Québec City and Montréal. The journey through the canal system to Ottawa, the nation’s capital, is a beautiful and relaxing trip with stops at several ports with significant heritage sites, vibrant arts and artisans communities, and fine dining establishments. Nature enthusiasts will be drawn to a river cruise through the scenic and largely unspoiled Thousand Islands.

Cruise possibilities

Passengers drawn to eastern Canada as a destination have several cruise options. Holland America Cruise itineraries take you from the Colonial American states or the Maritime provinces of Canada to the majestic St. Lawrence Seaway and a journey inland on luxuriously appointed mid-size ships. Pearl Seas Cruises, a new luxury line, also offers cruises that start in the Atlantic Ocean and along the St. Lawrence to historic Québec City, cosmopolitan Montréal, and the incomparable Thousand Islands. The St. Lawrence River Cruise Line has a small replica canal boat to accommodate 66 passengers for up-close encounters that emphasize history and culture. And always Canada Your Way can help to arrange rail or self-drive excursions to extend your cruise vacation and take you further inland for adventure or cultural encounters.
