DAY 1: WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY!

Fly into the Big Apple for a delightful dinner at a local favorite and check into the historic Hotel Beacon in Manhattan’s Upper West Side for a two-night stay. D

DAY 2: MANHATTAN

Explore the boroughs of New York City in the company of a well-versed local guide. As we make our way through the bustling streets, you’ll hear captivating stories, discover hidden gems, and uncover rich history shared by someone who truly knows the city inside and out. From the peaceful paths of Central Park to the bright lights of Times Square, you’ll walk away with a new appreciation for the energy, culture, and one-of-a-kind vibe that make this city so unforgettable. Enjoy an evening of exploration or relaxation and dinner on your own, or even see a hit Broadway show (additional expense). B

DAY 3: ADIRONDACK TRAIN

Trade the bus for one of the most scenic rail journeys in New England—the Adirondack Train by Amtrak. Sit back and relax as you glide through the breathtaking landscapes of the Hudson Valley, taking in sweeping views of the Hudson River, Lake Champlain, and the majestic Adirondack Mountains along the way. Your journey ends this evening in vibrant Montreal, Quebec, where you’ll enjoy an overnight stay.

DAY 4: MONTREAL & EMBARKATION

Visit the greatest sights in the city including Notre Dame Basilica, Old Port Sector, and Olympic Park. Get to know the notable attractions, sounds, and culture of French Canada with the help of our local expert before we depart on our Holland America cruise this afternoon. While cruising we will see the nearly 750 mile stretch of the St. Lawrence River that is a lighthouse lover’s paradise, with more than 40 of them lining the Québec portion alone. Quixotic weather and sudden choppy waters account for the building of these historic monuments, such as the one built in 1830 at Pointe-des-Monts and the Phare de Matane, both of which are now small museums. B, L, D

DAY 5: QUEBEC CITY, PORT OF

Few places in North America are as steeped in history as Québec City, Canada. Older than Jamestown and founded before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, it is the only city north of Mexico whose original fortifications remain intact. The Québec City historic district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is still home to religious orders and hospitals that date back to the 17th century. B, L, D

DAY 6: DAY AT SEA (CRUISING ONLY)

A lighthouse on little St. Paul’s Island is a stark reminder of days gone by as you sail past this infamous old shipwreck site, known as the graveyard of the gulf, on your way through the Cabot Strait and into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. So huge is the gulf that half of Canada’s 10 provinces have a coastal connection to it. B, L, D

DAY 7: CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, PORT OF CALL

Charlottetown, the capital and largest city of Prince Edward Island, blends small-town charm with Victorian architecture and inviting parks. The island connects to mainland Canada by the eight-mile Confederation Bridge, an engineering landmark and the world’s longest bridge over ice- covered waters. B, L, D

DAY 8: SYDNEY, NOVA SCOTIA, PORT OF CALL

Sydney, the largest city on Cape Breton Island, welcomes visitors with a lively harbor, locally made crafts, and the world’s largest fiddle. Historic homes, waterfront galleries, fresh seafood, and traditional live music showcase the city’s rich maritime culture. B, L, D

DAY 9: HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, PORT OF CALL

Halifax, Nova Scotia’s lively capital, blends rich maritime history with a vibrant waterfront, fascinating museums, historic fortifications, public art, and unique shops. Beyond the city, explore the rocky coastline and iconic lighthouse of Peggy’s Cove or wander the colorful streets of Lunenburg, whose historic Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. B, L, D

DAY 10: PORTLAND, ME, PORT OF CALL

First settled in 1633, Portland blends its maritime past with a lively modern spirit. The restored brick buildings of the Old Port, historic homes, working waterfront, and bustling harbor reflect the city’s seafaring heritage, while art galleries, bookstores, coffee shops, acclaimed restaurants, and local boutiques give it a distinctly contemporary character. B, L, D

DAY 11: BOSTON, MA

Disembark the Volendam and fly home with the most amazing stories to tell family and friends. B
