Itinerary

Prepare to encounter a province thriving with culture and cuisine, history and heritage, and so much more. Explore impressive architecture, intriguing history, imposing landmarks and the treasured streets of UNESCO praised Old Quebec. Relax at Parisian-style bistros and modern art exhibitions or choose to partake in thrilling alfresco pursuits.

Delve deep into nature to kayak through a fjord, walk the width of Montmorency Falls, zipline, paddleboard, surf and mountain bike in tranquil settings. Home to capital Montréal and an incredibly friendly nation, there's something for everyone in this mostly French speaking region.

Submerge into the almost hypnotic nature at the heart of The River Saguenay. Explore the raw beauty and protected wildlife within the Saguenay Fjord. Purify in a biome boreal forest under the canopy cover of climate-transforming coniferous trees. Learn about Canadian history, see black bears in their natural environment and embark on a wealth of activities from helicopter to kayak, sailing to skiing. Relax and restore in this natural habitat of mountains, valleys and forestry - for as far as the eye can see.

Heed the calm of the wilds in Sept-Îles, famed for its immense landscape of forests, lakes, and mountains. Ponder the soulful sounds of tides lapping on long stretches of sandy beaches and stroll the Vieux-Quai promenade to museums, shops and cafés serving ‘fruit de mer'. Walk the salt marshes and sculptures of Aylmer-Whittom Park or venture inland, seeking sacred sanctuaries of the Innu First Nations Peoples, to Lac des Rapides to kayak, canoe and cycle a mirrored lake reflecting soaring pines. Boat to Grand Basque Island, in the heart of the grandeur, or navigate the St. Lawrence River seeking ghostly water sprays from minke and humpback whales.

With more time to reflect, rejuvenate, and embrace the Ocean State of Mind, days at sea with Explora Journeys invite moments of unhurried exploration. Against a backdrop of endless blue, indulge in a varied programme of wellness, dining and entertainment, enriching the mind and indulging the senses, designed to satisfy even the most curious of minds. These moments at sea offer a rare chance to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. With so many onboard experiences, each day at sea is unique and memorable.

Embrace the perfect blend of urban charm, historic sites, captivating scenery and warm hospitality in Cape Breton. Applaud buskers along the charming waterfront, capture a moment beside the world's largest fiddle and drop into eclectic boutiques. Hike along part of the far-reaching Cabot Trail – a must for anyone wishing to absorb the spectacular scenery. Immerse yourself in Nova Scotian culture as you engage in the works of local artisans – from painters to carpenters and glass blowers to chocolatiers, this truly is a handicraft haven.

Welcome the vibrant, culture-filled capital of Nova Scotia. Trace Canada's roots back through historic sites and museums, shop in the progressive farmers' market, dine in a flourishing food scene and head up the ancient fort crowned hill for commanding views of the harbour.

Drop down to refresh at a winery, embark on a salt-water ferry cruise and head to Peggy's Cove to glimpse the iconic lighthouse. With a wealth of wooded nature never far away, wind around the coast and wander through Canada's most glamourous Victorian gardens to gaze at flower beds blooming with beauty.

Discover a city where the present merges seamlessly with the past. Cycle through cobbled streets rich in history to an array of famous landmarks and institutions. Explore the hallowed grounds of Harvard, cutting-edge restaurants, museums, fine art, a lively harbour and artisan boutiques. Taste delicacies from the food market, sip some of the world's finest tea, while the afternoon away in a brewery, or simply absorb the ambiance as you stroll beautiful walkways through a green maze of urban space.

Wake up to be part of a city that never sleeps. Fly by helicopter over the Manhattan Skyline for flawless images of the Statue of Liberty, neon-lit Times Square, sprawling Central Park, the skyscraping Empire State Building and Brooklyn Bridge. Explore Picasso, Pollock and others at the Museum of Modern Art.

Then create your own kitsch masterpiece from a blank canvas at a painting party in Havana's emporium. Pay your respects and honour gallant heroes at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum mission. Listen to backstage stories in the Broadway theatre district, shop in the East Village, eat streetside hotdogs, sip cocktails in elegant bars, take in a show. And as evening falls, take a walk with your loved one over Brooklyn Bridge. Big, bold and brash – there's a lot to bite off in the Big Apple.
