Board your ship and set sail from Portland’s scenic harbor. The lighthouse-dotted coastline slips into the distance as you cruise toward the open Atlantic, leaving behind the historic port for the adventure ahead.

Day 4: Halifax, Nova Scotia

Halifax welcomes you with its bustling waterfront and rich seafaring past. Stroll the vibrant boardwalk, visit the historic Halifax Citadel, or pay tribute at the Titanic gravesites at Fairview Lawn Cemetery. Don’t miss out on fresh seafood and local craft brews at one of the city’s many harborside restaurants.

Day 5: Scenic Sailing through the Strait of Canso

Cruise through the scenic Strait of Canso, a narrow channel separating mainland Nova Scotia from Cape Breton Island. Enjoy the tranquil waters and stunning coastal views as the ship navigates this picturesque stretch of the Atlantic.

Day 6: Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Enjoy an overnight escape in Charlottetown, where history, culture, and coastal charm unite.

Day 8: Gaspe, Quebec

Perched along the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, this remote town is a gateway to Forillon National Park. Marvel at towering sea cliffs, hike coastal trails, or visit the site where Jacques Cartier first landed in 1534. The rugged beauty of Gaspé offers a serene escape into nature.

Day 9: Baie-Comeau, Quebec

Nestled along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, Baie-Comeau blends natural splendor with industrial heritage. Explore the Jardin des Glaciers, a geological park shaped by ancient glaciers, or visit the Manicouagan River’s hydroelectric dam—one of the largest in the world.

Day 10: Saguenay, Quebec

Cruise into the breathtaking Saguenay Fjords, where dramatic cliffs rise high above the water. Keep watch for whales and seals as they breach and play in the fjord’s deep waters. This stretch of the journey offers a harmonious blend of wilderness and marine life.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
