Step aboard the legendary Bluenose II — Canada's most iconic schooner — at Lunenburg's UNESCO World Heritage waterfront, then dive deep into the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. A bucket-list collision of maritime legend and living history.
What to expect
Board the Bluenose II at her home dock for a guided deck tour of this legendary racing and fishing schooner, Canada's most recognised vessel. Cross the waterfront to the vivid crimson Fisheries Museum, where two floors of exhibits chronicle centuries of Nova Scotia's fishing heritage — from the Grand Banks dory fishery to rum-running tales. Retired fishing vessels sit in the harbour alongside the museum, open for exploration. The whole experience is deeply personal and lingers long after you're back on board.
Good to know
The Fisheries Museum is a short walk from the Lunenburg cruise pier. Book Bluenose II deck access in advance via the museum website as availability depends on her sailing schedule. Allow 2–3 hours; all-aboard is typically early evening.
