Cruises to Canada offer some of the most dramatic scenes Mother Nature has to offer. Sail with Carnival for some of the best views of the Canadian coastline on a cruise to Saint John. Nestled between nature parks and the powerful currents of the Bay of Fundy, Saint John is the province of New Brunswick’s largest city and its most important port. Set out from your Carnival cruise into Downtown, with its Victorian-era architecture and bustling central market. Your ship anchors in the Bay of Fundy, where you’ll spot seals and shorebirds from the trail, your kayak, or from an observation tower. Whether you take to the trails for a hike or just take some time off in town, your cruise to Saint John is bound to be one you won’t soon forget.

• Watch the swirling tide crash one way — and within the hour turn completely around — at the unique Reversing Falls.
• Hike past misshapen rocks and over gorges on the Fundy Trail Parkway.
• Snag some local baked goods at the Saint John City Market.
• Make friends with the wildlife at Irving Nature Park.

10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Your first look at Halifax, Nova Scotia is from across the enormous natural harbor that also hosts the verdant George’s Island. Ships have arrived at this key Atlantic seaport just like this for centuries, including both the million immigrants who passed through in the 1900s, as well as the Halifax salvage boats recovering wreckage from the Titanic. Besides a modern city abuzz with museums and shops, you’ll find a massive fort overlooking the waterfront and idyllic villages for postcard-perfect nature walks on your Halifax cruise.

• Meet a Scottish regiment at the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site.
• Laze under the gazebo at the Public Gardens on Halifax cruises.
• Take in the views from the Peggy’s Cove lighthouse.
• Hear heartbreaking stories of immigrants and war brides at Pier 21.

10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Australia’s famous city isn’t the only Sydney worth cruising to! While exploring Canada & New England on a Carnival cruise, you can dig deeper into a pocket of Canadian history, a city that was actually founded in the late 18th century by loyalist British soldiers retreating from the American Revolution. Robust industries fueled by the region’s natural resources sprang up, leading to the place you’ll enjoy exploring today. Start at the harbor — you can’t miss it because of the huge fiddle! It’s the world’s largest and hints at the live music (sea shanties, anyone?) you might experience while dining at the waterfront restaurants enjoying freshly-caught seafood. There’s actual history to explore here, with the entire Fortress of Louisbourg having been painstakingly recreated from its original rubble to showcase a pivotal location from the Seven Years’ War. Alexander Graham Bell’s house is another shouldn’t-miss for fans of the inventive spirit that spurred modern communications as we know it.

If you live in the Mid-Atlantic area, might we suggest one of our cruises from Norfolk? Set sail, as thousands of seafaring Americans have, when you book a Carnival cruise from the 400-year-old seaport of Norfolk. The city is today the proud home of a sparkling waterfront filled with green parks, lively shopping malls, delicious restaurants… and even fascinating maritime museums and monuments. Before you cruise from Norfolk, you’ll find yourself near two colonial villages — Colonial Williamsburg and Olde Towne Portsmouth — plus miles of beaches, and a blooming botanical garden. So definitely make time to explore before your cruise from Virginia, and round out your vacation with some history and picturesque sightseeing. Cruises from Norfolk also come with serious seafaring credentials — the city is home to one of the best maritime academies in the country.

• Watch artisans blow glass at the Chrysler Museum of Art.
• Take a ferry to colonial Olde Towne Portsmouth village.
• Tour the Norfolk waterfront by boat from the NAUTICUS museum.
• Search for antique jewelry and furniture in the Ghent neighborhood.
