Canada and New England

Adistinctive domain awaits – proud and independent, rich in history, bold in spirit. Marvel at majestic maples in hues of henna, scarlet, ochre and gold. Rugged coastlines, crisp breezes, craft brews and creamy chowders fresh from the sea highlight the joy of cruising through New England. The scenery of the St. Lawrence Seaway offers its own drama – especially along the Thousand Island corridor – complete with stately castles. Search the intricate maze of lichen-cloaked mounds for glimpses of their bounty of wildlife.
