- 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.

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.
- 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.

In Georgetown in eastern Prince Edward Island, you will be greeted by a local fisher 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: Experience a true taste of the maritimes with an Acadian lobster boil and cocktail class.
- Digby: Digby, Nova Scotia, is known as "The Scallop Capitol of the World."
