Inaugural North American East Coast Journey to Metropolises & Maritimes

The land of opportunity is not just a moniker, it also applies to experiences that go beyond the superficial to delve deep into the soul of North America.

There is no place with more potentiality than Manhattan, the global capital of commerce and culture. The MoMa, Wall Street and Harlem, Gotham City embraces it all … and so can you easily during an overnight in the metropolis that never sleeps. Saunter into the galleries of Soho; nosh at restaurants in Hell’s Kitchen; sail beside the Statue of Liberty, the glorious gift from France. Beautiful sites continue in Boston, dubbed the Athens of America. Go behind-the-scenes along Freedom Trail; witness the Old North Church; call upon Paul Revere’s House; and hear the battle cries at Bunker Hill Monument. Intriguing beyond measure, we sail to St. John's, which serves as gateway to the Bay of Fundy, a jaw-dropping phenomenon with a tidal change so massive that actually cause a shift in the region’s gravity.

From one astonishment to the next, we slip through the St. Lawrence River to arrive at Québec City just as a thousand lights twinkle on at Le Château Frontenac and the UNESCO Old City of ingenuity. 400 years old and still very much alive, she was founded by Champlain then lost to the British; however, her heart remains devoted to the Francophile. Terrasse Dufferin, a magnificent 425-m-long boardwalk, offers views of the St. Lawrence River but Château Frontenac, an audaciously elegant structure, soars even higher with fabulous green-copper turrets. Don’t miss fresh croissants from Paillard boulangerie, the cobbled lanes of Le Quartier Petit-Champlain, or Place-Royale, the city’s original square where a statue of King Louis XIV watches over all.
