Itinerary
A visit to this one-of-a-kind cinematic city is a frantic, fascinating feast for the senses. Liberally scattered with familiar landmarks, world-leading museums, and with an atmosphere and infectious energy found nowhere else.
Whether arriving or departing, aboard your cruise liner you can take in the stunning view of the New York skyline. There are three cruise ship terminals in New York City, the Manhattan cruise terminal located in Hell’s Kitchen, the Brooklyn cruise terminal located in the Red Hook neighbourhood and the Cape Liberty cruise port located in the Port of New York and New Jersey.
Whichever ship you decide on you can choose from a refreshing variety of pools and whirlpools - each heated to just the right temperature. Queen Mary 2 offers two outdoor pools and her Pavilion Pool has a retractable roof so you can enjoy a dip whatever the weather and her luxurious Spa Pool is a treat.
Halifax is the capital city of Nova Scotia, a Canadian province that borders the Atlantic on the east coast of Canada. Travellers can spend the day exploring the city’s many museums and learning about its rich history. It’s also fun to spend time walking around the waterfront and busy downtown area to take in the sights and sounds that include ship traffic, open-air cafes, tree-lined streets, statues and memorials, and even a waterfront casino.
Sightseers may also want to book a tour that includes a coastal drive to Peggy's Cove, a small community just north of the city that has long been celebrated for its scenic views of the Atlantic.
A day at sea offers a world of experiences, all tailored to your pace and preferences. Enjoy a refreshing dip in one of the heated pools or take in expansive ocean views with a few laps of Promenade Deck. Relax at the Mareel® Wellness & Beauty spa, with rejuvenating treatments inspired by the ocean. Partake in a guided gin tasting or attend a classical concert.
Indulge in gourmet meals at the grand Britannia Restaurant, sip champagne at sunset or enjoy a cocktail by the pool. Choose from an array of entertainment options, including stage shows, live bands, and late-night dancing. Play a round of paddle tennis, table tennis, golf putting, and shuffleboard. Younger guests will also stay entertained at one of four dedicated children’s clubs, ensuring fun for the whole family.
Gaspé, nestled on the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec, is a charming coastal town known for its stunning natural beauty and rich maritime history. Visit Forillon National Park to explore rugged cliffs, lush forests, and pristine beaches, ideal for hiking, wildlife spotting, and scenic photography. The park also features historical sites like the Grande-Grave heritage site, which offers a glimpse into the life of early settlers.
For a deeper dive into local culture, the Musée de la Gaspésie provides fascinating exhibits on the region's history, including its Indigenous heritage and fishing industry. Don’t miss the towering Gaspé Peninsula lighthouse, which offers panoramic views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The town’s vibrant waterfront is perfect for a leisurely stroll, featuring quaint shops and seafood restaurants showcasing the local catch.
Whether you're an absolute beginner or simply keen to perfect your steps you'll love the opportunity to join the variety of dance classes on offer. Available on voyages of 7 nights or more, classes are lead by coupled instructors and include ballroom as well as Latin and line dance. And when evening falls, what better way to showcase your new moves than in the chandeliered grandeur of the Queens Room?
Wander the cobblestone streets of Old Québec, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where 17th-century architecture abounds. Don't miss the iconic Château Frontenac, towering over the St. Lawrence River, offering stunning views. For a taste of local culture, visit the bustling Place Royale and enjoy authentic Québécois cuisine at a nearby bistro. The Plains of Abraham provide a lush green space perfect for a leisurely stroll, while the Musée de la Civilisation delves into the region's rich history and vibrant present.
Few places in North America are as steeped in history as Québec City. Founded before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, it boasts intact fortifications, a rarity north of Mexico. The historic district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, houses 17th-century religious orders and hospitals. Stroll through Place-Royale, a familiar sight to explorer Samuel de Champlain, now dotted with modern shops and cafés.
On the Plains of Abraham, walk the battlefield where French forces under Montcalm were defeated by the British in 1759. Despite this, French culture thrives, with over 95% of residents speaking French. Discover this vibrant culture through museums, historic sites, and distinctive cuisine.

Ship Reviews (6)
The ship itself is older but has been refurbished so is excellently maintained. We actually loved the size of the ship. It was large enough to contain all of the usual amenities but it was significantly smaller than some so we found it excellent to get around and feel like we were close to everything. One of the best aspects is that for the number of passengers there are a huge number of quiet spaces that you could go to if you want to be on your own bit equally there was always somewhere buzzing if you were chasing that.
We loved the gala nights - one was red and gold theme and the other was masquerade. It was lovely seeing everyone’s outfits and watching so many great ballroom dancers. However, it was not stuffy at all. We can’t really dance but we were made to feel welcome and it was fine for us to just do our low level shuffling or more modern dance style - anything goes really.
Another highlight was the afternoon tea everyday. Just lovely! Each day was a different musician - string quartet / pianist / cellist etc. the white glove service of fresh sandwiches, beautiful pastries, and scones was just so lovely. All day room service is also included I. The regular price and we really enjoyed this on a couple of occasions.
Apart from this, the whole reality that you are crossing the Atlantic and thoughts of where we were in relation to the Titanic made this a really poignant cruise experience.
Finally, the final approach into New York was just incredible. Under the bridge with the funnels just clearing, followed by cruising past the Statue of Liberty, and finally seeing that Manhattan skyline is an unbeatable way to arrive in New York. We absolutely loved it!!!!
