Welcome to Boston—where cobblestone streets meet clam chowder dreams! This charming port city is stitched together with Revolutionary history, storybook neighborhoods, and oh-so-many cozy cafes. Wander past red-brick row houses and shop your heart out at Quincy Market before hopping aboard.
Rockland is Maine’s seaside sweetheart—quaint, quiet, and sew full of charm! Watch the lobster boats bob in the harbor, stroll the mile-long Breakwater to the lighthouse, and explore darling shops filled with coastal treasures. Don’t miss the Farnsworth Art Museum, home to Wyeth family favorites and plenty of artistic inspiration.
Halifax is a coastal gem with a splash of maritime magic! From the colorful waterfront boardwalk to the charming shops in the Historic Properties, this Canadian port is packed with nautical flair and friendly faces. Climb the Citadel for harbor views, nibble on a donair (it's a Halifax thing!), and explore the Maritime Museum to brush up on Titanic tales.
Welcome to Sydney—home of the world’s largest fiddle! This cozy Cape Breton port is full of small-town warmth, waterfront strolls, and local treasures waiting to be discovered. Browse local crafts and soak in the slow-paced beauty of this seaside stop. Whether it’s the music, the people, or the peaceful views, Sydney plays all the right notes.
Step into a storybook in Québec City—cobblestone streets, French flair, and charming cafés around every corner! This enchanting port is full of flower boxes, old stone buildings, and just enough magic to make you feel like you’ve wandered into a European fairytale. Stroll through Old Town, grab a flaky croissant, and take in the views from Château Frontenac.
Welcome to Charlottetown! With its red-sand beaches, cheerful streets, and Anne of Green Gables charm, this island gem feels like stepping into a cozy novel. Stroll along Victoria Row, sample handmade chocolates, and snap photos of historic homes in pastel hues.
Portland is Maine at its yummiest—think cobblestone streets, working wharves, and the smell of fresh-baked whoopie pies in the air! This artsy little port is packed with charm, from historic brick buildings to salty sea breezes and indie boutiques galore.
