Sep 14, 2025

Newport

With its summer cottages, palaces and its status as the old yachting capital, Newport is the quintessential playground of American aristocracy.

Still, this harbor city is more than ship models and palaces. A waterfront with a wide view of sprawling Narragansett Bay—is still the soul of Newport, and gorgeous estates along Bellevue Avenue have not lost their glamour. But in a city that seems, on the surface, so intact from time, there's an undercurrent of youthful movement. Ambitious restaurants, a raucous nightlife, and an ever-flourishing surf culture belie Newport's poised reputation.

Bar Harbor

Located on the east side of Mt. Desert Island and surrounded by Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor offers some of the most spectacular scenery on the eastern seaboard.

The rock-bound coast, towering granite cliffs, majestic mountains, and blue waters have attracted the Rockefellers, Astors, and Vanderbilts for over 200 years and continue to enchant visitors today. Founded by individual donations, Acadia National Park is a breathtaking intersection of sea, imposing cliffs, and wooded mountains. Mount Desert Island had been a resort destination long before the establishment of Acadia National Park in 1919. The wealthy flocked to Bar Harbor at the turn of the century, hence the construction of Newport-style "Cottage" which transformed the picturesque New England town into a fashionable summer resort. It was the commitment of these wealthy vacationers, including Rockefeller, that led President Woodrow Wilson to establish Acadia as the first national park east of the Mississippi. Many of the great houses of Bar Harbor are a memory. A catastrophic fire in 1947 devastated the city and the surrounding forest. But Acadia National Park survived, and today it is one of the most visited national parks in America. 35,000 hectares of Acadia are dotted with natural wonders: in addition to the breathtaking landscape, some 50 species of mammals including elk, black bear, and white-tailed deer to roam the park.

Saint John's

Protected by a narrow, rocky entrance, the port of San John's may look like a picturesque village, but it is actually a modern city with a lot of cultural attractions.

This city with its lively port is a nice contrast to some of the more rural outlying areas and offers a lot of services for travelers and local residents.

Halifax

The Canadian historic city, preserves the charm of the colonial era and the adventurous spirit of the time

As the ship enters port, a bagpiper will welcome you to Halifax, the capital city of Nova Scotia. The "city of trees" offers the warmth and charm of a small town along with all the excitement and attractions expected from a big city. Cove Peggy, Citadel Hill, and the Acadian village are just some of the places that herald your arrival here. The capital of Nova Scotia and the largest city in the Atlantic provinces of Canada, Halifax, was once an important military bastion of Great Britain in North America. The beautifully restored buildings on the Halifax waterfront are reminiscent of the city's centuries-old naval and maritime heritage. A walk on the waterfront, and you can find historic galleons and ships like the schooner Bluenose II, tied up to the pier of the corsair, as well as old sailing ships over 200 years old. Halifax is also the gateway to breathtaking landscapes in Nova Scotia, including the famous Peggy Cove, where granite cliffs and a lonely lighthouse create a scenery with unsurpassed charm based on natural beauty.

New York

New York is an incredibly diverse and active place, which consists of an intricate mosaic of neighbourhoods, each has its own character and history, yet they merge together seamlessly.

New York is an urban island full of unparalleled art and architecture, lively ethnic neighbourhoods, thousands of shops and some of the best restaurants in the world. The main attractions are grouped in Midtown Manhattan, not far from the cruise port.

Drift down the Hudson River and discover unforgettable attractions, such as the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. In the city that never sleeps there is no end of things to do, from the lights of Broadway and Times Square to world-class museums, shopping and a plethora of places to eat.
