Tage
Nächte an Bord
Inkl. Landausflug oder Aktivität in jedem Hafen + Transfers
Auf dieser Kreuzfahrt ist die Bordsprache ausschließlich Englisch.
In Zusammenarbeit mit Smithsonian Journeys.
Diese Kreuzfahrt gehört zu einer besonderen Auswahl von PONANT Reisen, die speziell für englischsprachige Gäste konzipiert wurden. Neben den gewohnten Elementen einer PONANT Reise, umfassen die aufgeführten Preise für diese Kreuzfahrten Transfers zum und vom Schiff, Vorträge und Diskussionen an Bord mit Weltklasse-Experten, und einen Landausflug oder eine Aktivität in jedem Hafen, bei denen die Gäste die Sehenswürdigkeiten und vieles mehr entdecken und in die unbekannte Kultur eintauchen können.
Die Wasserwege im östlichen Kanada und im nördlichen Neuengland gehören zu den schönsten der Welt. Die felsigen Küsten, steilen Klippen und idyllischen Dörfer an den Ufern ziehen seit mehr als einhundert Jahren Besucher an.
An Ihrem ersten Tag an Bord durchqueren Sie den Sankt-Lorenz-Seeweg, ein Netzwerk aus Seen, Kanälen und Schleusen, das die Passage aus dem tiefen Wasser des Ontario-Sees in den Sankt-Lorenz-Strom ermöglicht.
Montreal, der erste von vier Stopps in Québec, ist eine kosmopolitische Metropole, in der Sie die zauberhafte Altstadt oder die dynamische Kunstszene am St. Laurent Boulevard entdecken können. Québec City ist mit seinen engen kopfsteingepflasterten Gassen und historischen Wehrgängen einer der romantischsten Orte Nordamerikas.
Tadoussac, die älteste durchgehend bewohnte europäische Siedlung in Kanada, liegt an der Mündung des Saguenay River, an der sich häufig viele Wale tummeln, um zu fressen. Und das malerische Dorf Percé an der Spitze der Gaspésie-Halbinsel dient als Tor zum UNESCO Global Geopark der Île Bonaventure.
Cap-aux-Meules auf den Magdalenen-Inseln ist eine faszinierende Hochburg der Akadier, in der das Erbe der Siedler aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, die sich hier niederließen und ihre Autonomie gegen die Briten und die Franzosen verteidigten, weiterlebt.
Nächster Halt ist Neuschottland, wo Sie die historische Stadt Lunenburg entdecken können. In der zauberhaften Altstadt, die zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehört, können Sie das Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic besichtigen.
Nach einem Tag auf See erreichen Sie Eastport, Maine, wo Sie das Tides Institute & Museum of Art oder Shackford Head State Park auf Moose Island besuchen oder mit dem Kapitän eines örtlichen Boots Wale beobachten und auf dem Rückweg zum Hafen Hummerfallen einsammeln können. Am nächsten Tag gehen Sie in Boston, Massachusetts von Bord.

Old Montreal on Foot
The historic character and charm of Old Montréal comes alive as you walk through its narrow cobblestone streets and alleyways and along its charming waterfront district to discover the splendid architecture of one of the oldest cities in North America.
Your guided tour begins at Place Royale, from where you make your way to Place d'Armes and the Notre-Dame Basilica. Built over several decades in the 19th century, this iconic structure is emblematic of the city of Montreal, and its interior is regarded as a masterpiece of the Gothic Revival. During your tour, take time to observe the intricate wooden carvings throughout, set against rich hues of blue, red, and purple, and to marvel at the stained-glass windows that depict scenes from the history of Montreal.
From the Basilica, make your way to the financial district known as Montréal's Wall Street, where, among the many Victorian buildings are the Bank of Montréal, and the Royal Bank. Pass City Hall and the Courthouse to reach Jacques-Cartier Square, an area of cafés and old-world charm. Your guide will lead you through the walkways of the underground city toward the International District, including Place Riopelle and its unique fountain, the Palais des Congrès, and the World Trade Center, a remarkable example of integration of new and old buildings.
Your tour comes to an end at the Pointe-à-Callière Museum. A designated national archaeological and historic site, Pointe-à-Callière is home to the very birthplace of Montréal and focuses on several centuries of history, from the time of the First Peoples to the present day.

Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Historic Quebec
On this two-part excursion, you will discover much of the historic character and charm of Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, as you orient yourself to the most important landmarks during a tour via motor coach, followed by a guided walking tour of the center city.
Drive first to Quebec's most celebrated landmark, the Chateau Frontenac, perched on a cliff some 200 feet above the St. Lawrence River, with breathtaking views of the surrounding area. From the Chateau, travel along the Grande-Allée, the Champs-Élysées of Québec, lined with quaint shops, sidewalk cafés, and boutiques, to the Hôtel du Parlement, built during France's Second Empire. Continue to the Plains of Abraham, site of the historic battle that resulted in French surrender to the British in 1759, and now a beautiful 250-acre park with hills, gardens, monuments, and 18th-century artillery. A brief stop at Le Cap-Diamant, named after the shiny rocks that explorer Jacques Cartier mistook for diamonds, affords yet another view of the surrounding countryside.
Leaving your coach behind, join a guided tour of Old Town. Explore Place-Royale, an historic square once the site of homes of wealthy merchants. The square remains the heart of the Lower Town as well as the home of North America's oldest standing catholic church, the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires. Around the corner is the charming pedestrian-only area of Petit-Champlain, where you will find an array of quaint boutiques, specialty shops and outdoor cafés, as well as strolling musicians and other street performers. Visit Holy Trinity Church, the first Anglican Cathedral built outside the British Isles, and modeled on London's St-Martin-in-the-Fields. Your tour ends at the Morrin Center, built over 200 years ago as the city's first prison, and now home to one of Quebec's most beautiful libraries.

This is a moderate excursion, half of which is aboard a modern coach. Walking in Old Quebec, however, involves navigating cobblestones and some inclines.
Inbegriffen
Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Montmorency and Ile d'Orleans
This excursion focuses on the natural beauty just outside the walled Old City of Quebec, as you discover Montmorency Falls and the pastoral landscapes of the Island of Orléans. Along the St.-Lawrence River and in the foothills of the Laurentian Mountains, the views of the countryside and of the skyline of Québec are spectacular.
From the pier, a 20-minute drive along the bank of the St.-Lawrence brings you to Montmorency Falls, where water cascades down a 272-foot cliff, 1-½ times as high as Niagara Falls. As you walk along the paths near the falls, or take a cable car to the top of the falls, enjoy breathtaking views and witness the power of nature as the Montmorency River roars down the cliff to meet the St.-Lawrence.
Take a step back in time as you cross the bridge to the Ile d'Orleans, where you will enjoy a scenic drive through picturesque villages of traditional rural Québec. First settled by the French over 350 years ago, the Island is a veritable open-air museum, boasting more than 600 heritage buildings. As the first colonists cultivated the land, they became self-sufficient as fishermen, blacksmiths, carpenters, saddlers, tanners, shipbuilders, and captains. But agriculture has always been important here, and you will have the opportunity to taste several examples of the local produce—delicacies made from fresh fruit, local wines, and fruit ciders—and to talk with the farmers and vintners about their craft.

Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Percé Heritage Walk
The village of Percé at the eastern end of the Gaspé Peninsula is often thought of as a gateway to the dramatic natural beauty that surrounds it. But Percé itself has an interesting history, which you can discover on this guided walking tour.
Although modern day Percé is mainly a tourist destination, in the 17th century it was Gaspé’s most important fishing port. Meet your guide at the end of the quay and begin your tour at the site of the old fishing infrastructure, where some of the buildings erected in the late 18th century by Charles Robin can still be seen. Then continue through the village to the church of Saint-Michel de Percé, built at the beginning of the 20th century with sandstone from nearby quarries.
From the church, continue to Cap Mont Joli, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the entire village and of famous Percé Rock, just offshore. This is the site where Récollet missionaries installed a wooden cross in 1672 to mark the arrival of the first European settlers.
Returning to the wharf, pause at La Maison du Pêcheur, where Bernard Lortie first met with Paul and Jacques Rose and became a member of the radical Front de libération du Québec (FLQ), who were responsible for the 1970 kidnapping and murder of the Labour Minister, an event known as the October Crisis and which led to drastic decline in support for the FLQ.

On this two-part excursion, you will discover much of the historic character and charm of Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, as you orient yourself to the most important landmarks during a tour via motor coach, followed by a guided walking tour of the center city.
Drive first to Quebec's most celebrated landmark, the Chateau Frontenac, perched on a cliff some 200 feet above the St. Lawrence River, with breathtaking views of the surrounding area. From the Chateau, travel along the Grande-Allée, the Champs-Élysées of Québec, lined with quaint shops, sidewalk cafés, and boutiques, to the Hôtel du Parlement, built during France's Second Empire. Continue to the Plains of Abraham, site of the historic battle that resulted in French surrender to the British in 1759, and now a beautiful 250-acre park with hills, gardens, monuments, and 18th-century artillery. A brief stop at Le Cap-Diamant, named after the shiny rocks that explorer Jacques Cartier mistook for diamonds, affords yet another view of the surrounding countryside.
Leaving your coach behind, join a guided tour of Old Town. Explore Place-Royale, an historic square once the site of homes of wealthy merchants. The square remains the heart of the Lower Town as well as the home of North America's oldest standing catholic church, the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires. Around the corner is the charming pedestrian-only area of Petit-Champlain, where you will find an array of quaint boutiques, specialty shops and outdoor cafés, as well as strolling musicians and other street performers.

Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Montmorency and Ile d'Orleans
This excursion focuses on the natural beauty just outside the walled Old City of Quebec, as you discover Montmorency Falls and the pastoral landscapes of the Island of Orléans. Along the St.-Lawrence River and in the foothills of the Laurentian Mountains, the views of the countryside and of the skyline of Québec are spectacular.
From the pier, a 20-minute drive along the bank of the St.-Lawrence brings you to Montmorency Falls, where water cascades down a 272-foot cliff, 1-½ times as high as Niagara Falls. As you walk along the paths near the falls, or take a cable car to the top of the falls, enjoy breathtaking views and witness the power of nature as the Montmorency River roars down the cliff to meet the St.-Lawrence.
Take a step back in time as you cross the bridge to the Ile d'Orleans, where you will enjoy a scenic drive through picturesque villages of traditional rural Québec. First settled by the French over 350 years ago, the Island is a veritable open-air museum, boasting more than 600 heritage buildings. As the first colonists cultivated the land, they became self-sufficient as fishermen, blacksmiths, carpenters, saddlers, tanners, shipbuilders, and captains. But agriculture has always been important here, and you will have the opportunity to taste several examples of the local produce—delicacies made from fresh fruit, local wines, and fruit ciders—and to talk with the farmers and vintners about their craft.
