The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Nova Scotia's most iconic image — a red-and-white lighthouse perched on glacier-sculpted granite above a thrashing Atlantic — is even more powerful with a local expert beside you explaining the geology, the fishing heritage, and where to stand for the perfect shot.
Lunenburg's candy-coloured Georgian streetscapes and working wooden boatyard are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of the Bluenose schooner. An intimate walking tour with a local historian makes this one of the most evocative port towns on the Eastern Seaboard.
Shelburne Harbour is one of the finest natural harbours in Atlantic Canada — and the cold waters beyond teem with lobster, bluefin tuna, and abundant wildlife. A private charter with a working fishing captain puts you right in the middle of it all.
In 1783, 10,000 Loyalist refugees landed here in a single week, making Shelburne briefly the fourth-largest city in North America. Walking its preserved waterfront and heritage buildings with a local expert is one of the most underrated history experiences in Atlantic Canada.
