What you can do in port in Canada and New England
These stops are towns and cities on the coast, from Boston up to the St. Lawrence.
Many stops end in the afternoon. A foliage sailing in the fall is more likely to stay late than a short stop in summer. Extra nights in Boston or Quebec give you the evening in the city. You are not due back on the ship.
Boston
Ships generally dock in the Seaport district at the Black Falcon terminal.
A 15-minute ride from the terminal takes you to Boston Common, the starting point of the Freedom Trail. You can also stroll along the Harborwalk from Long Wharf toward the aquarium and have a lobster roll.
Bar Harbor
Ships anchor and tender to the town pier.
From the landing you can walk along the shore path or explore the shops on Main Street. For a view over the islands, a 20- to 30-minute ride reaches the summit of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park.
Halifax
The ship docks on the downtown waterfront.
You can walk from the pier to the boardwalk and the Maritime Museum. Peggy's Cove is a fishing village on granite. The ride from the pier takes about 45 minutes.
Quebec City
The ship docks at the Old Port, below the cliff.
Upper Town and the Château Frontenac sit above the river. A funicular connects the lower town to the terrace. You can walk the lower town, and you can walk the terrace in front of the Château. Poutine is fries, cheese curds, and brown gravy.
Charlottetown
The ship docks near the town.
You can walk from the pier to Province House and Victoria Row. The town is small. The red cliffs of Prince Edward Island are outside the town.
