7-day Cruise on Norwegian Gem

Canada & New England: Portland & Bar Harbor

Explore three ports in Canada and two in Maine on this 7-day cruise from Boston. Your first stop is Charlottetown, known as the birthplace of Canada, and inspiration for the novel Anne of Green Gables. Seafood is another star attraction, especially mussels. Savor a bowl of steamers doused in citrus butter. The world’s largest fiddle greats you in Sydney, a fitting tribute to its Celtic community. Gets hands-on and experience this fascinating culture at Highland Village, a living museum. Acadia National Park is yours to explore from Bar Harbor. Bike or hike its scenic trails or enjoy a boat ride along its rocky shores for vistas beyond belief. Afterward, tie on a bib and take lots of selfies as you feast on the local catch, fresh Maine lobster.
