Choice Highlights
  • Choose between three carefully selected activities
  • Halifax: Halifax’s historic citadel will inspire the mind of any curious traveler. This strategic hilltop location with a  commanding view of the Halifax harbor was chosen in 1749 as the location for the fort that would protect the city. Learn the roles that the fort and its inhabitants played over time visiting this fort as it stood in its Victoria era and as it's been restored as well as enjoying sweeping views of downtown Halifax.
  • Halifax: Get up close and personal with the works of one of Canada's best-known folk artists, Maud Lewis, at the Maud Lewis Gallery. View the nearly 19,000 works on display in the Permanent and Study Collections as you gain insights into Lewis’ life. From Nova Scotia, Lewis lived most of her life in a small house in Marshalltown and achieved national recognition in 1964 and 1965.
  • Halifax: Halifax’s history will inspire the mind of any curious traveler. Visit Pier 21 - an ocean liner terminal and immigration shed from 1928 to 1971 - for a guided tour of the Pier 21 Story, an orientation to the Canadian Immigration Story exhibition and a viewing of the film "In Canada." You’ll gain insights into the story of immigration, discovering how nearly one million immigrants came to Canada through Pier 21. As Canada’s last surviving seaport immigration facility, Pier 21 is often compared to the immigration gateway Ellis Island.
Authentic Dining
  • Halifax: Relax next to the waterfront before meeting your Travel Director and fellow travelers for a Welcome Dinner at 18:00. You’ll soon see why Halifax truly is a foodies’ town. The Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market, established in 1750, is the longest continuously operating market in North America.
  • Charlottetown: Delicious cuisine in a quaint seaside village. In Georgetown in eastern Prince Edward Island, you will be greeted by a local fisherman who shares their experiences at sea and enlightens you about PEI’s famous lobster and mussel industry. Learn how these cultured mussels from the cool water surrounding PEI have become a popular seafood. Because they are grown in mesh stockings suspended ropes in the water and never touch the ocean bottom, they taste sweeter, more tender and are plumper, meatier and more nutritious. Then feast on a delicious lunch of Island Blue Mussel cooked by the fisher featuring fresh, locally grown produce.
  • Moncton: Prepare and eat lobster the Acadian way-head to tail-guided by local hosts who’ll demonstrate traditional shelling techniques passed through generations. Learn the practical skills locals use at home and on the shore, and hear how these mealtime customs reflect Acadian culture. Then, take part in a hands-on mixology class and craft a summer cocktail using seasonal herbs and citrus.
  • Digby: Digby, Nova Scotia, is known as "The Scallop Capitol of the World." The town is famous for the scallops harvested from the local waters and thus contributing to industries of fishing and tourism. Scallops are Nova Scotia's most valuable seafood catch and Digby is home to the world's largest inshore scallop fleet. Celebrate all things local and meet a former scallop fisherman for a culinary demonstration and Celebration Dinner par excellence, featuring these famous scallops.
