Halifax, Nova Scotia
Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia, and was once the gateway to Canada for those immigrating into the country.

Explore the sea-faring history of the region at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic! Since there is so much to see and do in this incredible city, you’re bound to be hungry by the end of the day. Established in 1820, the Alexander Keith Brewery is a top destination for their world famous beers, but if you truly want to dine like the locals, try a donair!

Sydney, Nova Scotia
Located on Cape Brenton Island, Sydney is a cultural epicenter. The unique culture—a conglomeration of Scottish, Acadian, Eastern European, and even African—is part of Sydney’s draw, along with the Cape Brenton Highlands. If you’re feeling adventurous, make sure you pack hiking boots for a hike on the Cabot Trail, where panoramic views of the forest-covered mountains will take your breath away when the wind dances through the vivacious colors of the autumn leaves.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
No matter where you are in the city of Charlottetown, locals will tell you that you’re never more than 15 minutes away from everything. On foot. Regardless, this former fishing port is the largest city on Prince Edward Island (PEI) and is teeming with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. For the foodies, PEI is the primary provider of mussels to North America, and one of the top seafood destinations in the world! Make sure you have a meal, or at least sample, some of the freshest seafood you will ever taste. If you’re more of a reader than an eater, you can also visit the inspiring landscapes that shaped the children’s classic novel, Anne of Green Gables.

Enjoy the arts in downtown Corner Brook at the Grenfell Art Gallery, showcasing native Canadian art, or grab something special to remember your cruise from one of the mom-and-pop boutiques that line the streets.
