From Toronto, set sail aboard Le Bellot for the vast unspoiled expanses of Canada and the North American coast.
You will first enjoy a magnificent sail along the shimmering waters of Lake Ontario, then your ship will sail into the St. Lawrence River, a prodigious waterway home to exceptionally beautiful nature.
You will then call in at two emblematic cities: Montreal, famous for its energy and cultural vibrancy, and Quebec, capital of Canada’s Beautiful Province, located on the St Lawrence estuary and founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Do not miss this charming and lively city where the historic neighbourhood of Old Quebec, with its ramparts and fortifications, is listed as World Heritage by UNESCO.
Next, your itinerary will take you towards the dramatic fjord of Saguenay, where many marine mammals have taken refuge. At the mouth of Saguenay River, you will reach Tadoussac. This National Park is an unmissable site for whale watching as the mammals gather to feed before winter.
Further on, you will reach Perce, one of the most scenic villages of Quebec, close to a National Park famed for its natural, historical and geological heritage.
Le Bellot will then cruise along the coasts of Nova Scotia, home to great historical towns and villages of unrivalled cachet.
Then you will head south to Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island, discovered by Samuel de Champlain in 1604. This small bustling town on the north-east coast of the state of Maine is a seaside resort whose appeal lies in its stunning landscapes, including those of Acadia National Park.
You will conclude your journey in Boston, considered to be the cradle of the United States for the key role it played during the American Revolution.

Gloucester
After disembarkation procedures are completed, you will be greeted at the port by our local English-speaking representative.
Board your coach for a 45 minutes drive to reach Boston.
The city of Boston, capital of the State of Massachusetts, became the birthplace of modern America by chance. In 1620, the Mayflower left England for the New World with 102 settlers, now known as the Pilgrim Fathers, on board, seeking a place where they could freely practice their religion. Following a navigational error of almost 800 km, they landed in Plymouth, not far from the current city of Boston. Ten years later, in 1630, Boston was founded and quickly became the intellectual capital of New England, which was also greatly influenced by the religious values of the Puritans. It naturally became a place of strong rebellion against the Crown and then an emblematic site of the War of Independence at the end of the 18th century.
You will set off to discover historic and iconic sites on the very famous Freedom Trail, accompanied by your French-speaking guide. This walking trail crosses the city for 4.5 km (2.8 miles) and you will discover around 15 historical buildings and memorials that have marked the history of Boston.
You will have lunch in a local restaurant.
