What could be more beautiful than cruising in the autumn on the Norwegian Cruise Line? Maybe taking a train into the countryside of the Charlevoix region, maybe overnighting on an island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, or maybe being on the edge of the Atlantic chasing the snow white belugas whales, just to name a few. Ships, Planes & Trains …three ways to experience the beauty of Canada and New England. This will be a vacation of a lifetime. Passport Required
