Finish:Liscomb, Nova Scotia
Travel Period
Lighthouses stand watch over the coastal landscapes and storybook villages of the Maritime Provinces, enticing you with a cultural mix of French, Irish, Scottish, and English influences – Highland kilts, Celtic music, British towns, Acadian art... along with the legacies of Anne of Green Gables and Alexander Graham Bell, and traditions like a kitchen party, rug hooking, whale watching and oyster shucking... and culinary treats starring blueberries, lobsters, and planked salmon!
Time stands still in the Canadian Maritimes... preserving a way of life that honors the land and sea – and a cultural mix of early French, Irish, Scottish and English influences. Time feels expansive in the Canadian Maritimes – where tides rise stories high, fishing boats bob in sheltered harbors, and heritage runs as deep as the coastal fog. This journey spans three provinces – Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick – each offering distinct landscapes and cultural threads woven from Acadian, Gaelic, Mi'kmaq, and Loyalist roots. Explore the colorful waterfront of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and walk windswept trails beside the sea-carved cliffs of the Fundy Trail Parkway. In Charlottetown, step into the pages of Anne of Green Gables, then savor oysters and mussels harvested just offshore. Watch the tide retreat beneath your feet at Hopewell Rocks, cruise Shediac Bay with a lobster trap demonstration, and sample sturgeon caviar in Saint John. From storytelling in Mi'kmaq territory to a bagpipe performance on Prince Edward Island's red shores, this is a journey of vivid contrasts and quiet moments – where every stop brings you closer to the soul of the Maritimes. You'll be welcomed with genuine warmth by those who call these shores home – inviting you to experience the Maritimes not just as a place you visit, but as one that feels like home.What's Included
