Canadian Cruise Deals

Canada, of course, is known for having both English and French speakers, so it should come as no surprise that a cruise to Canada offers a variety of different cultures and a wealth of history and character in its many ports. Famous French towns such as Montreal and Quebec are joined by the notably Scottish-influenced Nova Scotia, a place where it is not uncommon to hear the sound of the bagpipes. Autumn is the best time to go on a cruise to Canada, with the colours on show at that time of year presenting Canada at its most beautiful.

Quebec is a high point of any cruise to Canada, with its distinctly French feel making you temporarily forget you are even in North America at all! The streets of Vieux-Quebec are lined with quaint cafés, restaurants and boutiques that combine to create a lovely atmosphere in this historic city. Meanwhile, Halifax in Nova Scotia is a modern port that is packed with culture and heritage, with the city full of fine eateries and pretty gardens. The nightlife here is also first class.

Elsewhere, picturesque seaside towns like Charlottetown and Saint John are relaxing ports to spend a day in, with Charlottetown hosting festivals almost every week and Saint John home to an historic waterfront. This area is also renowned for serving superb lobster and shellfish, with traditional fish and chips a local speciality. Be sure to experience the famous, if somewhat daunting Reversing Falls Rapids on a cruise from Canada.

In actual fact, Canada is such an entertaining place that it would be a shame not to experience everywhere fully. With this in mind, a Cruisetour is a great way of enjoying both your luxury ship and each of your destinations, with land tours offered for many destinations. Experience the majestic, snow-capped Canadian Rockies and the world famous Niagara Falls, with a cruise in the Maid of the Mist taking you right to the base of the iconic world landmark. Also an entertaining stop is the fantastic French Quarter in Montreal.
