The old salts called it sailing “Down East,” traveling with the wind at their backs east from Boston to rugged Maine and the Canadian Maritimes. Now you, too, can explore the best of New England and Nova Scotia (literally, New Scotland) on this comprehensive vacation. With two-day stays in most locations, you’ll enjoy time to examine the historic and modern sides of Halifax and the resort towns of St. Andrews and Bar Harbor. And you’ll soak in Cape Breton Island’s Scottish flair and Prince Edward Island’s coastal charms. Multiple included tours and Discovery Series events help you discover the breathtaking Evangeline and Cabot Trails, the Anne of Green Gables and Alexander Graham Bell museums, and more. With so much included, plus the chance to see fall foliage scenery, this Acadian odyssey is truly an unbeatable value. See why this Grand Circle classic has been one of our most popular trips for the past 16 years.
