The regions
Nova Scotia is a short flight from the Northeast and an easy place to explore by car. We plan the route, reserve inns with water views and arrange guides and boat outings, so you can take the coast at your own pace.
A lively harbor city with a historic waterfront, the Citadel and the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.
A tiny fishing village with one of Canada’s most photographed lighthouses, set on smooth granite above the Atlantic.
A UNESCO-listed seafaring town of brightly painted houses and wharves on the South Shore.
A loop of about 185 miles through the Cape Breton Highlands, with Celtic music, ocean cliffs and whale watching.
Home to the highest tides in the world, with tidal bore rafting, sea floor walks and fossil cliffs.
Salt air, lighthouses and a coast made for slow travel.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.
A coastal route of historic lighthouses, from Peggys Cove to the Acadian villages of Cape Breton.
Fishing villages, shipbuilding history and lobster dinners fresh from the boat.
Harbour tours in Halifax, whale watching off Cape Breton and sailing on the South Shore.
The Cabot Trail and the Lighthouse Route, with comfortable inns booked along the way.
Atlantic Canada
Atlantic Canada is close to Connecticut and best when you make something. In Nova Scotia, spend a morning hooking a rug in Deanne Fitzpatrick’s studio, lunch included, or book a weekend pottery workshop at Dirt to Dishes in Shelburne. On Prince Edward Island, blend your own spirit at Deep Roots Distillery. In spring, Newfoundland’s boat and kayak tours go out among the icebergs, and Cape Spear is the easternmost point in North America. In summer, Le Festival Acadien de Caraquet fills New Brunswick with food and music. Tell us when you’d like to go, and we’ll shape the route.
When: Spring for icebergs; summer for Acadian festivals.
