Canada Cruises

Discover the Great White North

Canada cruises allow travellers to enjoy the exquisite charm, fascinating history and breathtaking natural beauty, with picturesque towns and villages adorning the rocky coastline. Where the deep-blue sea meets autumn hues, the jagged shores are punctuated every so often with the huge cities of New England and Canada’s eastern seaboard. As a proud home to the Canadian Rockies, Canada also makes a perfect destination for winter cruises! Set sail to the vast cities of Quebec and Ontario, where you can immerse yourself in all the signs of Victoria’s decadent British heritage. The beauty of these unique locations can be best experienced onboard, as you cruise along New England and Eastern Canada’s most scenic ports of call. 

Some cruise escapes begin with flights to Toronto, the largest city in Canada, boasting an energetic art scene, craft bars and a multicultural population. History buffs and culture vultures can cure their wanderlust in Montreal, oozing a graceful contrast between the wrought iron balconies along cobbled stone pathways of the city’s old town area and the towering blocks of glass and steel. Another history hotspot is Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia – complete with the World’s second largest natural harbour and rich maritime history.

Whether it’s the sea waves, the mountain air on the Rocky Mountaineer or the baffling beauty of the fall foliage, a Canada cruise is a magnificent choice for a holiday of a lifetime.

Canada Cruise Highlights

Niagara Falls

One of the most iconic cities in Canada is the Niagara Falls, home to a namesake majestic falls that draws tourists from around the world. The awe-inspiring cascades of waters straddle the border between the United States and Canada, so travellers get to enjoy two perspectives but the similar sheer might and splendour of the waterfalls from different locations. Get up close and personal with Niagara Falls on a full day tour with a Canada cruise! Here, you’ll take the legendary Hornblower boat ride through Horseshoe Falls — Niagara Falls’ most famous feature — where an amazing 3-million litres of water pour over the falls every second!

Old Montreal

Old Montreal, much like Quebec City’s Old Town, is Montreal's starting point. Discover the grandeur of the world-famous Basilique Notre Dam — a grand Gothic Revival-style church standing at the historic Place d’Armes, famed for its sophisticated facade and colourful interior. Once you’ve soaked in enough history and architecture, stroll around the Old Port, which is transformed into a scenic and tranquil area stretching along the Saint Lawrence River. Another point of interest in the 17th-century neighbourhood is the Musée d’Archéologie et d’Histoire Pointe-à-Callière (Montreal’s History Museum) with something for everybody in exploring the history of the second largest city in Canada.

CN Tower

Soaring at a height of 1,815 feet, CN Tower is a notable landmark in Toronto. The telecommunications and observation tower is an engineering feat that prides itself on being the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere. Marvel at Toronto’s stunning skyline and beyond from the multiple viewing levels, panoramic floor-to-ceiling Window Walls or the Glass Floor of this tower. You can also enjoy a one-of-a-kind dining experience in the 360 restaurant with a mesmerising backdrop or feel the thrills of the EdgeWalk. Before leaving, be sure to pop into the gift shop and browse for some souvenir items to take home as memorabilia of your visit.

Natural Wonders

Natural Wonders

Canada cruises showcase the country’s vibrancy with rugged charm, with jaw-dropping natural beauty and pristine wilderness to top it all off. Hulking snow-capped mountains that are every snowboarder’s dream, colour-drenched forests, ever-changing landscapes and fields home to moose and diverse wildlife, classy French and cool Canadian blended smoothly to give you incredible culture, delicious food and a feeling like home away from home — Canada has something for everyone and it beckons with open arms. On your Canada cruise, be sure to check out these natural wonders for a sure feast to the senses, especially the eyes:

 

  • The dramatic Niagara Falls is one of the major draws of Canada — the world’s second-largest waterfall by volume creating a whopping splash over the edge every second.

  • The Canadian Rockies spans the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, encompassing four sprawling national parks that offer endless opportunities to immerse yourself in the lush wilderness, including Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay.

  • Moraine Lake is the crown jewel of Banff National Park, boasting a sight of a snow- and glacier-fed lake with deep teal waters that reflect the surrounding mountains.

  • Witness the dazzling spectacle of the Northern Lights all-year round, with the high season being in early autumn and late winter. Catch the kaleidoscope of green, yellow, pink and magenta hues dancing across the sky! 

Things to Do in Canada

Stroll around Quebec City

Filled with as much of the French romanticism as you could possibly imagine, Quebec City is a city to fall in love with.The city’s Old Town is the favourite attraction, listed as a UNESCO Heritage site. At its best covered in a light dusting of snow, Old Upper Town sits on the Cap Diamant cliffs, whilst Old Lower Town is within the original French walls of the 17th century.  Le Chateau Frontenac is one of the world’s most photographed hotels set in the Old Upper Town, complete with towers, winding hallways and interesting legends. You’ll find countless museums, charming cafes, boutique shops and fascinating houses lining the cobbled streets and stone alleyways, all just waiting to be explored…

Take a scenic train ride

Cruises to Canada offer a one-of-a-kind experience of boarding the Rocky Mountaineer, transporting you through a scenic journey through four different routes in Canada — showcasing breathtaking vistas both indoors and from the outdoor observation platforms. The First Passage to the West route takes you through the remarkable engineering achievement of the Spiral Tunnels in Yoho National Park and continues through Rogers Pass in the Glacier National Park. The Journey through the Clouds route offers show-stopping scenery of the Canadian Rockies and superior service. Travel through the lush farming regions of Fraser Valley and the historic Cariboo gold rush region on your way to the Canadian Rockies with the Rainforest to Gold Rush route or marvel at the ever-changing landscapes between Moab and Denver onboard the Rockies to Red Rocks train ride.

Happen upon Halifax

Halifax is the captivating capital of Nova Scotia, steeped with maritime history and home to the second-largest natural harbour in the world. Although bustling and contemporary, the City of Trees is careful to preserve its stunning natural beauty. The city is dominated by the hilltop Citadel — a star-shaped fort in the heart of downtown Halifax facing the stunning harbour. Must visits include historic sites such as Peggy’s Cove, a picturesque rural community lined with colourful houses along the arrow inlet and on wave-washed boulders overlooking the Atlantic, and the charming waterfront that’s packed with lively pubs and cafes, perfect for wiling away your evenings whilst getting some sea air.
