Christmas Time in Quebec City
Day 1 Kingston – Fort Henry Candlelight
Dinner
As the Christmas Season draws near,
everything comes alive with the spirit of the
Holidays. We begin our adventure with a
relaxing drive to Kingston. This evening
we enjoy a unique dining experience in
the beautifully decorated Officers’ Mess
at Old Fort Henry. This special Holiday
Candlelight Dinner has become a Kingston
tradition of the season. (D)
Day 2 Québec City – Christmas Market
– City Tour and Lights - Dinner Maison
Jacquet
This morning a leisurely drive takes us
to Quebec City. Steeped in history and
charm, lights, decorations, and snow create
an enchanting setting like no other within
Old Quebec transforming it into a real
Christmas village, just like out of Charles
Dickens’s novel - A Christmas Carol. On
arrival we visit the Port Market. Experience
the authentic old-world charm of a German
Christmas Market, complete with timber
kiosks, in the heart of Old Québec. Enjoy a
unique and friendly atmosphere, beautiful
decorations, a great selection of delicious
products, exquisite Christmas gifts and so
much more. As darkness falls, a step on
guide joins us for a tour of the Lights. And
tonight, a special dining experience! The
historic Maison Jacquet, one of the largest
houses in upper-town in its day and the
oldest in Quebec, was built in 1675-76.
The site was granted to François Jacquet
on November 30, 1674 by the nuns of the
neighboring Ursuline Convent. Its thick
walls, solid joints, marvelous wainscoting
and recessed cupboards are characteristic
of the houses constructed during that
period. Though it is contradicted by history,
the myth persists that General Montcalm
also lived and died in this famous house.
Since 1966, it has housed the restaurant
Aux Anciens Canadiens, internationally
known for its fine cuisine. (B,D)
2016 Tour Catalogue
Day 3 Québec City – Chemin du Roy Sleigh Ride
This morning there’s time explore Old
Quebec. You may want to search out
that one of a kind gift at Boutique de
Noël near Chateau Frontenac, the perfect
spot to find some incredible and unique
holiday treasures! Then, step inside the
Chateau Frontenac, symbol of the city and
the world’s most photographed hotels to
enjoy the magnificent, magical holiday
decorations! Is it any wonder CNN ranked
Québec City among the world’s top 10
destinations for celebrating the Holidays!
Later we travel to Chemin du Roy. On
arrival we enjoy a horse drawn sleigh ride
that takes us through the maple grove
l’érabliére, “Le Chemin du Roy” before
indulging in a traditional all-you-can-eat
sugar shack meal served in an enchanting
setting complete with folk singers and live
entertainment. We top it off with maple
taffy on snow before returning to our hotel
for the night. (B,D)
Day 4 Quebec City - Montmorency Falls
– Manoir Montmorency
Later on this morning we take a trip outside
the city to Montmorency Falls where, in
very cold weather, fine mist from the falls
freezes and eventually forms the famous
Sugar Loaf, an impressive cone of ice at the
foot of the waterfall. Enjoy a view of the
falls and time to take some pictures before
we make our way to Manoir Montmorency,
perched high atop the hill. From here you
have a spectacular view of the St. Lawrence
River and the Ile d’Orleans. A delicious
lunch is included at the Manoir before we
say goodbye to Quebec City and make our
way to Cornwall for the night. (B,L)
Day 5 Home
Breakfast included at our hotel, before we

Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds
with the rigid lifestyle. But using her unique
disco moves and sensational musical talent,
Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their inner
voices while unexpectedly rediscovering
her own. Filled with glorious soulful music,
dancing, and an uplifting story that celebrates
sisterhood, Sister Act will leave you jumping

with jewelry and gold being popular
items—in fact, gold was mined here in the
19th century. In Oranjestad and along the

Day 6 Willemstad, Curacao
The capital of Curaçao, Willemstad, is
almost as old as a more famous Dutch
settlement—it was founded in 1634, just
10 years after New Amsterdam, later called
New York. But while the Dutch control
of New Amsterdam was relatively brief,
Curaçao remains a part of the Netherlands
to this day. Its historic center is a unique
mixture of Dutch architecture and
Caribbean pastels, its gabled row houses
overlooking Sint Anna Bay, a waterway
dividing the city in two and connecting the
Caribbean to the protected Schottegat Bay.
The entire historic center of Willemstad
has been recognized as a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. While Willemstad’s
legendary days of yore can be explored at
institutions like the Kura Hulanda
and Curaçao Maritime Museum, this is a
vibrant, living city too. Highlights of this
multicultural melting pot might include a
stop at its floating market and a visit to
a curaçao distillery to taste the famous
local liqueur. Natural wonders await
as well: Some of the Caribbean’s most
stunning diving and snorkeling spots are
here. Finally, a meal in Willemstad will let
you experience the diversity of the island
through the surprising flavors of its cuisine,
which reflects European, Caribbean and
Latin American influences. (B,L,D)
Day 7 At Sea
Enjoy a day to relax and rest before our
next sightseeing begins. (B,L,D)
Day 8 Cartagena, Colombia
We arrive in the port of Cartagena
at 7:00 a.m.. The old walled city of
Cartagena reflects a turbulent history of
conquistadors and pirates. Climb “las
murallas” for an unforgettable view of the
harbour. Shop for emeralds and leather
goods along the cobblestone streets. Or
choose from one of the offered shore
excursions. The ms Zuiderdam departs at
1:00 p.m. (B,L,D)
Day 9 Enter Panama Canal
Today, we make our partial transit of the
Panama Canal, entering at Cristobal. This
77.1 km ship canal connects the Atlantic
Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The canal
cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and
is a key path for international maritime
trade. There are locks at each end to lift

Puerto Limón probably isn’t the most
bustling port you’ve ever visited, but
don’t be put off by its facade; like most
coastal towns in Costa Rica, it is a perfect
base from which to explore an attractionand activity-rich region that can fulfill
a variety of interests. You’re never far
from a rain forest or outdoor adventure
in Costa Rica, and there are lots of day
trips from Puerto Limón that allow you
to pack in an adrenaline rush or a few
more ticks on your birding list within just
a few hours. There are treetops for zip
lining and rushing rivers for whitewater
rafting if you’re a more active traveler,
and animal lovers can take sanctuary
tours in and around Puerto Limón. Of
course, when it comes time to eat, there’s
plenty of the national favorite, gallo pinto
(rice and beans), and as with many port
towns, there is lots of fresh seafood and
even an upscale Italian restaurant. As for
shopping, you can find arts and crafts that
were made locally as well as edible treats
like handmade chocolate. We are in port

(B,L,D)
Day 8 Oranjestad, Aruba
Located off the coast of Venezuela,
the windswept Dutch island of Aruba
is otherworldly. Here, the beaches are
spectacularly pristine, the waters are
romantically restless, the island interior
is lunar-like and filled with cacti, and the
trees are—quite famously—bent in the
wind. The island’s consistent trade winds
are part of the destination’s allure: They
keep the humidity, rain and hurricanes
common in much of the Caribbean
during its off-season at bay. The main port
and capital city, Oranjestad, is a maze of
Dutch-colonial architecture painted in a
palette of Caribbean pastels. (B,L,D)
Day 9 Willemstad, Curacao
The capital of Curaçao, Willemstad, is
almost as old as a more famous Dutch
settlement—it was founded in 1634,
just 10 years after New Amsterdam,
later called New York. But while the
Dutch control of New Amsterdam was
relatively brief, Curaçao remains a part
of the Netherlands to this day. Its historic
center is a unique mixture of Dutch
architecture and Caribbean pastels, its
2016 Tour Catalogue
gabled row houses overlooking Sint
Anna Bay, a waterway dividing the city
in two and connecting the Caribbean to
the protected Schottegat Bay. The entire
historic center of Willemstad has been
recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. (B,L,D)
Day 10 At Sea
Enjoy a day to relax and rest before our

Day 11 Cartagena, Colombia
We arrive in the port of Cartagena
at 7:00 a.m.. The old walled city of
Cartagena reflects a turbulent history of
conquistadors and pirates. Climb “las
murallas” for an unforgettable view of the
harbour. Shop for emeralds and leather
goods along the cobblestone streets. Or
choose from one of the offered shore
excursions. The ms Zuiderdam departs at
1:00 p.m. (B,L,D)
Day 12 Enter Panama Canal
Today, we make our partial transit of the
Panama Canal, entering at Cristobal. This
77.1 km ship canal connects the Atlantic
Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The canal
cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and is a
key path for international maritime trade.
There are locks at each end to lift ships up
to Gatun Lake, 85 metres above sea level.
The current locks are 33.5 metres wide,
with a third, wider lane due to open in
2015. Work first began by France in 1881,
with an official opening date of Aug 15,
1914. In the 100 years since its opening,
the canal continues to be a vital link in
world trade, with annual traffic rising from
1000 ships to more than 15,000 vessels.
We depart Colon at 8:00 p.m. (B,L,D)
Day 13 Puerto Limon, Costa Rica
In recent years the area has become even
better known as must-see stop for ecotourists. The region’s unique geography
and neo-tropical climate combined with
abundant rainforests make for one of the
most naturally diverse “biospheres” in the
world. And you can take advantage of
national
p a r k s
and reserves
in all directions
from Limón. Pay close attention when
you dock as many guests have reported
seeing peaceful sloths lumbering in the
trees right in port! We are in port from
6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (B,L,D)

Costa Rica - A Land of Wonder Holiday
The Climate of Costa Rica is very pleasant
all year round. Although the different
Mountain Ranges give way to Tropical
Rainforests which give way to beautiful
beaches, it is generally a Tropical Climate
with a very consistent 22° C average
temperature.
Costa Rica’s main industry is Tourism
and as such you will find a friendly and
welcoming atmosphere through-out the
Country. We have included an average of
2 meals per day, with some of the meals
being served at the resorts you are staying
while others will be served at independent
restaurants. Good hearty meals that are
typically Caribbean featuring a lot of rice,
beans, chicken and fish.
This charming little country can be found
in Central America, just north of the
country of Panama. Although it is only
200 miles from Pacific to Caribbean
across, this lush & tropical country is
full of incredible plant and animal life,
making it truly one of the very best places
to explore nature. Here you will find an
average 234.8 species of plants, 16.9 bird
species and 4.6 mammal species in an
average 1,000km² As a people, the Costa
Ricans love their natural habitat and
have put in place incredible measures
to protect this wonderful environment!
Well over 25% of the Country has been
designated as either National Parks or
Conservation areas. This small country
also features three main Mountain
Ranges; the Guanacaste Mountain Range,
Central Mountain Range and Talamanca
Mountain Range with some of some of
their mountains rising more than 12,000
ft in height! As part of the Ring of Fire,
many of these mountains exist due to the
large number of active volcanos such as
Arenal, Irazu and Turrialba, an incredible
112 sites through-out the country.
With Costa Rica being such a small
country, you will never travel far before
seeing some incredible sights. Our
itinerary has been built so that you will
stay at each hotel a minimum of two
nights, allowing you the chance to truly
explore Costa Rica!
Finally, we have incorporated some
amazing attractions such as boat cruises,
guided hikes, a Sky Tram canopy ride,
a Hot Springs & Spa, Museums and so
much more! A truly amazing experience!

2016 Tour Catalogue
UNESCO World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay
National Park; protects a unique ecosystem
of plants and animals living in concert with
an ever-changing glacial landscape. How
does it feel when a monumental chunk
of ice splits off a glacier and crashes into
the sea? The sound is like thunder! The
impact shoots water hundreds of feet into
the air. You hold your breath as you catch
the moment on film! Then you wait for it
all to happen again. And it does! Glacier
Bay has more actively calving tidewater
glaciers than anyplace else in the world.

The fabled Inside Passage is one of the
most scenic sea-lanes in the world, and
one of the few where deep-draft vessels
can sail close to steep mountain walls.
The scenery is unbelievable, with forests
in a hundred shades of green, tumbling
turquoise glaciers, and evocative towns
loaded with history, culture and adventure.
With most of Southeast Alaska accessible
only by boat or plane, the Inside Passage is
a lifeline to the outside world. Once inside
the shelter of Vancouver Island, it is a good
time to keep your eyes looking for Orca
Whales that can often be seen breaching
out of the water. (B,L,D)
Day 19 Vancouver to Toronto - Home
Around 7:00 a.m. this morning will find us
docking in Vancouver harbour at Canada

will be met at Pearson Airport in Toronto
and shuttled to your joining point. (B)
