Forest-covered islands ablaze in autumn colours emerge from St. Lawrence River as we bid farewell to Quebec City, the fortified bastion that once controlled France’s North American empire. The occasional spout of a passing beluga echoes in the sanctity of silent nature as we sail reverently through the steep-sided fjords of Saguenay to La Baie, an ancient trading post frozen in time. Look out for historic marinas, and rocky headlands bejewelled with red and white lighthouses on the journey to Prince Edward Island, where the lobster boats of Charlottetown lure us in with epicurean appeal. Retrace Canada’s roots in Nova Scotia’s storied capital Halifax, then delve into the teeming waters of New England, where the chilled Labrador Current meets the warm Gulf Stream and blue, beluga and minke whales cavort in mineral rich waters. Arrive to thunderous applause in New York City, where Broadway, the MoMa and Greenwich Village await.
