Overview
Eastern Canada is a whirlwind of cityscapes, old-world French charm and fresh sea breezes in historic maritime towns. We uncover its best bits across 16 days. From Toronto, we’ll venture to Niagara Falls and follow the picturesque north shore of Lake Ontario. We’ll seek out fin, minke and beluga whales in Baie-Sainte-Catherine and whizz along the coast aboard the overnight Ocean Train. And to finish, we’ll spend time in the affluent and cosmopolitan city of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
