Today, we will transfer to the airport for our flight to Boston, MA. Upon arrival, we will be met by our motor coach and tour manager and head to our hotel to check in for the night. From your room, enjoy beautiful views of the autumn leaves covering the city. Tonight, dinner will be enjoyed as a group.

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel this morning before we set out along the Freedom Trail to get a crash course in early American history. Marked mainly by red brick, this famous two-and-a-half-mile trek through the center of Boston is dotted with sixteen significant locations, including a unique collection of museums, churches, meeting houses, burying grounds, parks, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution and beyond. It’s hard not to feel a sense of American pride when stepping in the footsteps of our forefathers! Later in the afternoon, we will head toward the harbor and board the Norwegian Breakaway to begin our incredible journey through New England and Canada!

Experience life at sea and take advantage of the countless opportunities on board for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Catch a dazzling Broadway-style performance like Burn the Floor or sing along at Howl at the Moon. Feel the energy of the pumping music and pulsing walls as you dance till the wee hours at Bliss Ultra Lounge. Grab a burger and beer anytime you like at O’Sheehan’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill. Or chill out, literally, in the only ice bar at sea. Plus, the restaurants will not disappoint! Satisfy your seafood cravings at Palomar, enjoy a perfectly cooked steak paired with your favorite cocktail at Cagney’s Steakhouse, savor the elegance of French cuisine at Le Bistro, or treat yourself to a contemporary Italian feast at Onda by Scarpetta. The casino will get your blood pumping as you try your luck at the tables or slots, while the spa is the perfect spot to settle in for some quiet relaxation!

Tucked along the rugged coastline of Maine, Eastport is a hidden gem that captures the true spirit of Downeast charm. Overlooking the powerful waters of the Bay of Fundy – home to some of the most dramatic tides in the world – this picturesque seaside town offers ever-changing coastal scenery and a deep connection to the sea. Once a thriving sardine canning center, Eastport has gracefully evolved into a welcoming destination rich in maritime heritage, artistic expression, and small-town warmth.

Set along the rugged shores of the Bay of Fundy, Saint John tells its story through weathered architecture shaped by salt air, sea winds, and a resilient past – including a devastating fire that helped define its character. Today, this “greatest little city in the east” charms visitors with its maritime heritage and scenic beauty. For a memorable view, head to Fort Howe, where you can take in sweeping vistas of the harbor and watch your ship framed against the dramatic tides of the bay.

Another relaxing day at sea offers the perfect balance of leisure and discovery. Ease into the morning with ocean views and a fresh cup of coffee before choosing your pace for the day – whether that means lounging poolside, indulging in a rejuvenating spa treatment, or joining in on one of the ship’s engaging activities. From live entertainment and enrichment programs to incredible dining options, each moment onboard is yours to enjoy. As the sun sets over the open water, unwind with a show, music, or a quiet stroll on deck, savoring the peaceful rhythm of life at sea.

Admire the rugged coastline that surrounds Halifax, the world’s second-largest natural harbor. This beautifully preserved city is Nova Scotia’s capital and was founded in 1749. Take steps through history and climb to the star-shaped Citadel to witness the Old Town Clock. Board a Harbor Hopper for a fascinating tour of the city by land and an exciting plunge into the harbor to see the sites from the water. Halifax has a unique connection to the Titanic, and a walk through the Fairview Lawn Cemetery and a visit to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic will introduce you to stories and artifacts from the tragic sinking. Consider venturing outside the city to experience Lunenburg’s fishing heritage, Mahone Bay’s three waterfront churches, and the famous lighthouse in Peggy’s Cove.

In Portland, you will discover the perfect blend of urban energy and coastal charm. This vibrant seaside city offers all the amenities of a larger destination, from thriving art districts and engaging museums to a lively waterfront lined with unique shops and inviting restaurants. Stroll through scenic parks or explore the working harbor, where the rhythm of the sea is ever-present. Yet just minutes away, the experience shifts to classic New England – where historic lighthouses stand watch over the rocky shoreline and the scent of fresh ocean air leads you to the pleasures of savoring a sweet, locally caught lobster.

This morning, we will disembark in Boston and transfer to the airport for our flight home.
