the world visit the east coast of Newfoundland and they
bring friends - over 22 species of whales. Add to this
spectacular show, 35 million seabirds, and you’re bound to
see some unforgettable sights on this trip! Depending on
the time of year you travel you may witness the majestic
beauty of 10,000 year old icebergs floating through

Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula comes by the word ‘great’ honestly. The region is home
to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - L’Anse aux Meadows and Gros Morne.
The Tablelands and landlocked fjords of Gros Morne National Park are a world away from space and time as we know it. Further
up the Peninsula, stand on the land where the Vikings stood. Vinland, they called it, and a millennia later berries are flourishing
still. Explore the life of the Vikings through the ancient community traditions and rituals at L’Anse aux Meadows National
Historic Site: a place that UNESCO has set aside for its significance in bridging the Eastern and Western worlds.

Irish and other ancestries. National Geographic Traveler

By definition, Maritime means “connected to the sea” and this is very true of the three provinces you

sandy beaches. Your journey will take you along unique coastlines as you explore the very best this region has to offer. From

The Bay of Fundy and its legendary high tides promise to
be the highlight of this trip as you explore beautiful New
Brunswick. With the help of 100 billion tonnes of seawater
that flow in and out of the Bay of Fundy each day, the
resulting 50 foot tides are the highest in the world! As you
witness the Hopewell Rocks at both low and high tide, you’ll
be amazed at the difference a few hours can make.

Bay of Fundy © New Brunswick Department of Tourism and Parks
The Bay of Fundy, one of the world’s natural wonders, is
cradled between the shores of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia. Carved by the wind and the sea millions of years ago,
the Bay of Fundy’s 270 kilometres of ocean is geologically
and archaeologically significant and boasts the world’s
highest tides.
In addition to its legendary tides, the Bay hosts over 12
species of whales, including half of the world’s population of
endangered North Atlantic Right Whales, and is a delight for
birders. With four UNESCO designations, the Bay of Fundy was
listed as one of the 28 finalists in the New 7 Wonders of Nature
contest and was named one of the “Top 10 destinations in
2012” by the travel experts at Frommer’s.

West Point Lighthouse © Tourism Prince Edward Island
The island was named for a man who became King. It
witnessed the birth of a Nation, as the fathers of
confederation met and conquered at Charlottetown
centuries ago.
Cradled on the waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Prince
Edward Island is known for the vivid colours of its gently
rolling landscape. For visitors who come from all over the
world, it’s the attraction of a little red-headed girl called
Anne and her Green Gable home. Then there’s the fine,
warm red sand beaches, said to be the warmest this far
north of the sun-belt. Come for the golf, the beaches,
literary legends, politics or princes and you'll get an
unforgettable holiday experience, fit for royalty.
