Canada & New England: Newport & Portland Norwegian Escape departing 27 Aug 2023

Everyone loves New York and there are a million reasons why. Here are but a few: the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, the Ellis Island National Monument, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, Times Square, Broadway, Greenwich Village, 5th Avenue and Central Park.

Wake up to magnificent autumn foliage while exploring the wonders of Canada and New England. Before departing from New York, visit the Statue of Liberty and historic Ellis Island or the world-famous Metropolitan Museum of Art and Guggenheim Museum. In Bar Harbour, Maine, take in nature’s splendors at Acadia National Park, followed by a traditional downeast lobster bake. And when in Halifax, be sure to see Peggy’s Cove, which boasts one of the most popular lighthouses in Atlantic Canada.

Portland offers all the amenities of a big city: art districts, a vibrant waterfront, museums, parks and diverse shopping opportunities. But within minutes, you can be enjoying the view from an historic lighthouse or tasting a juicy, local lobster.

This coastal attraction has retained much of its charm since its glory days of the 1900s, when America’s elite vacationed here in opulent summer cottages. Surrounding the rock-bound harbour is the world-famous Acadia National Park where the opulence of nature is on display.

Although Champlain landed here in 1604 and named the town, it wasn’t settled until 1783 by Loyalists fleeing the colonies during the American Revolution. Canada’s Maritime Province of New Brunswick is intriguing, with its tidy farms, stately Georgian manors and tea at four. The topography is equally interesting: In a land of vast virgin forests and rushing rivers, fierce tides as high as 53 feet are fueled by the fingerlike Bay of Fundy.

Admire the rugged coastline that surrounds Halifax, the world’s second-largest natural harbour. This beautifully preserved city is Nova Scotia’s capital and was founded in 1749. Take steps through history and climb to The Citadel to witness the Old Town Clock.
