Old Quebec is a World Heritage Site because it is an outstanding example of a fortified colonial city. Quebec City is the only city in North America whose fortifications are still almost all intact.

In addition, Quebec City is considered the cradle of French civilization in North America. Francophone culture has been present there continuously since the 17the century. It is this American accent that allows the capital to stand out. This recognition is exceptional, since only two Quebec sites have been identified by UNESCO: Old Quebec on the list of cultural properties and Miguasha National Park, in the Gaspé Peninsula, on the list of natural properties.

This is a day free to explore and enjoy the ship with all the activities offered, take in the view or just grab a cool drink, enjoy the onboard Spa and relax, reflect and rejuvenate.

 Sydney is the largest city on Cape Breton Island, which is linked by causeway to the rest of Nova Scotia. Sydney’s attractions start at the harbor, where visitors can shop for locally made crafts and see the world’s largest fiddle, which towers beside the port’s cruise pavilion. Some of the city’s historic houses and churches date back to the 1700s and 1800s and are open for tours. Restaurants often provide live music (expect fiddles and sea chanteys) along with meals of seafood fresh-caught in nearby waters. Sydney’s galleries give visitors a chance to meet local artists and purchase their work.   

  Explore the Halifax waterfront where steamships once anchored to drop off arriving immigrants at Pier 21. Savor the low-key but classy culinary scene for fresh seafood and Nova Scotia specialties—the city has both street vendors and casual joints catering to university students and upscale eateries with elegant settings. Along Nova Scotia's southern shores, the city is surrounded by lush greenery and charming villages that are worth the trip from downtown proper. Snap photos of attractions in the charming fishing village, Peggy's Cove, with its picturesque lighthouse on a rocky outcropping. Or wander the streets of Lunenburg, whose colorful Old Town is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can also soak in the charms and sights of Mahone Bay, home to artists' studios and a trio of steepled churches.
