Your Small Group Insider Tour begins on 20 August 2020 in New York. Limited to just 20 people, luxuriate in access to deluxe transportation and highly qualified and informative tour guides, plus greater flexibility and the slower pace, all of which allow you to spend more time exploring each destination and experience it like a local. Spend several days discovering the many sights and attractions of the Big Apple. Take a guided tour of Manhattan’s most famous landmarks including the Empire State Building, Radio City Music Hall, Wall Street and Central Park, or take a Bay Cruise around the Statue of Liberty. Visit Philadelphia, the birthplace of America, where the Declaration of Independence was adopted on 4 July 1776, and Washington, D.C., the Nation’s Capital, home to myriad attractions including the US Capitol Building, the Washington Monument, the White House and Arlington National Cemetery. In Pennsylvania, immerse yourself in the historic Gettysburg Civil War National Battleground where President Lincoln gave his famous address, and an Amish community in the heart of the State’s Dutch Country. Further north, stand in awe of the dramatic Niagara Falls before crossing into Canada, with time spent in Toronto, the country’s largest city; Ottawa, the nation’s capital; and the charming city of Montreal in the French Speaking region of Quebec.
Returning to the United States, traverse the Green Mountain State of Vermont and the Granite State of New Hampshire, both founding members of the American republic, and take a walking tour along Boston’s Freedom Trail commemorating America’s Founding Fathers, before returning to New York via Newport, Rhode Island, famed playground of the ultrawealthy during the Country’s Gilded Age.
On 2 September 2020, prepare for the next stage of your journey – a 10-night cruise from New York to Canada’s Quebec City onboard the supremely well-appointed Caribbean Princess. Relaunched after a multi-million dollar refurbishment in 2017, the ship boasts bright, contemporary spaces, 900 balcony staterooms and an entire deck of Mini-Suites offering impressive private vistas, plus a whole new roster of formal and casual eating options, including the open-kitchen-style Cafe Caribe. Add in other hallmark features like Movies Under the Stars and the premier Lotus Spa, and the ship is guaranteed to deliver an exceptional cruise experience.
From lobster bakes to lighthouses and quaint seaside villages that dot the landscape, the cruise itself, is a chance to immerse yourself in an intriguing mix of American history and French Canadian culture. Voyage highlights include a return to Newport, Rhode Island with its impressive mansions including The Breakers and The Elms, and Boston – America’s Cradle of Independence, as well as Maine’s Bar Harbour, home to the stunning Arcadia National Park. Further north, stop at Saint John, Canada’s oldest settlement and gateway to the scenic wonders of New Brunswick; Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia and the largest city in Canada’s Atlantic Provinces; and the port of Sydney in Cape Breton known for its beauty and unique Celtic music and culture.
Next stop is the small but stunning Prince Edward Island, the Nations’ birthplace, before arriving in Quebec with its French ambience, atmospheric Latin Quarter and historic stone and brick houses.
Disembarking in Quebec on 12 September 2020, spend your last night at the historic Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Old Quebec– the perfect base from which to discover more of the city’s many charms at your leisure, before flying home on 13 September 2020.
