Overview
Don't just take a vacation. Take a Vacation that's more fun!
Experience New England and Eastern Canada the way you've always dreamed.
Lighthouses aren't the only reason people found their way
here. New England and Eastern Canada have an unmistakable
charm, rich history and natural beauty all their own. And
there's no better time to visit than the fall - when the
foliage is brilliant in every imaginable color, lighthouses
dot the coastline, and there's always an authentic lobster
bake going on somewhere.
On the days we are at sea attend
the Legacy Family Tree genealogy classes and learn the real
secrets to becoming an expert with Legacy and improving the
way you do your research. Go home with the
knowledge and tools you need to be more successful than you
ever thought possible. You will be learning directly
from the experts.
There's never been a cruise ship like Royal
Caribbean's ship Explorer of the Seas. Enjoy one-of-a-kind
features like an ice-skating rink, the Royal Promenade and a
rock-climbing wall. There was only one way to accommodate
all of these innovative ideas. We built a bigger cruise
ship. The 138,000-ton, 3,114-guest Explorer of the Seas
offers more space for every guest - plus enhanced
staterooms, expanded dining options and exceptional
recreational facilities. This cruise ship is so high-tech,
it even features the University of Miami Ocean Lab, a
state-of-the-art oceanographic and atmospheric science lab.

Cape Liberty Cruise Port, New Jersey
New York City "The Big Apple"
New York City is an exciting
place which attracts visitors from all over the world, who come to see its
many world class attractions.
New York is the considered to be the crossroads of the world and the
attractions reflect the rich cultural history of the city. Visit Ellis
Island to see where immigrants came to America. See New York's Chinatown for
a glimpse of the rich Asian influence, or spend a day at the American Museum
of Natural History for a truly educational experience.
Whether you wish to get tickets to join us for a Broadway Show, visit
the New York Statue of Liberty or see a game at Madison Square Garden. You
definitely want to come a few days early to take in all that New York has to
offer. Go see Ground Zero where the Trade Center use to stand. See the
lights and billboards of Times Square. And as the ship sail from New Jersey
you will have a spectacular view of New York City.
We will be scheduling a group tour to see Broadway "Lion King," If
the guys aren't interested in Broadway how about a Yankee Game.
Portland, Maine
The Greater Portland region of Maine
is the perfect location for those who love the seacoast and the excitement and
cultural that this northern New England city has to offer. There are many
historic forts and lighthouses, ferries, sightseeing cruises, and plenty of
restaurants, museums, theatres, and shops.
Bar Harbor, Maine
Bar Harbor, Maine, originally
called Eden, has a world renowned ambiance that blends seashore community,
Downeast character, rocky shores, and the famous Maine Lobster. Founded in
1796, it is the best known town on Mount Desert Island . The villages of
Hulls Cove, Salisbury Cove, and Town Hill are all part of the municipality
of Bar Harbor. Charming cobblestone streets and quaint storefronts make Bar
Harbor a delightful New England vacation destination. But it's what's just
down the road that makes it truly unique. Acadia National Park, just a short
drive from downtown Bar Harbor, is a triumph of the Parks System
Conservative Program and offers a spectacular display of nature at its
finest. Rocky cliffs and jagged coastline open to beautiful ocean views and
stony beaches, perfect for a mouthwatering traditional Maine lobster bake.
Saint John, New Brunswick
The Bay of Fundy area is
interesting. If you love natural phenomena, whale watching, and the rugged
New England coast, you'll love the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy is famous
for its strong tides, the most extreme in the entire world. This phenomenon
makes for unbelievable scenery and fascinating natural events such as the
Reversing Falls Rapids. Among all of Saint John's attractions, you'll
enjoyed the Reversing Falls Rapids the most. It is not far from the downtown
area, and the magic show occurs twice daily where the Saint John River meets
the Bay of Fundy in a narrow rocky gorge. When the Fundy tides are low, the
river rushes past the steep cliffs into the bay. It looks much like any
whitewater river, full of rocks, rapids, and whirlpools. However, as the
tides rise, even the river cannot match the power of the ocean surge from
the Fundy. As the level of the bay rises, the river undergoes a
transformation. First, at slack tide (when the level of the bay and the
level of the river are about equal), the whitewater in the gorge becomes as
smooth as glass. It looks completely different! Then, almost miraculously,
as the Fundy tides reach their peak, they overpower the river and force it
to retreat, causing the rapids to push upstream! It is really unbelievable!
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Nature has blessed this area with sandy beaches, rugged shorelines and
colorful gardens. This fine location was the site of the first British town
in Canada, founded in 1749. Since then, the area has evolved to be home for
a diverse mix of people. Charming fishing villages, farming communities and
Atlantic Canada's largest city awaits you.
In the heart of the downtown you'll find art galleries, museums,
historic sites and churches, shopping, sidewalk cafés. Scrumptious dining
and non-stop fun are the ticket to an exhilarating Halifax experience.
If you seek peaceful nature scenes, head out of the downtown for
nearby communities offering hiking, camping, and bird watching. Let yourself
be romanced by the sea. Everyone is drawn to the ocean - the crisp tang of
salt air, fresh breezes, and an ever-changing panorama of colour and light.
Everyone should experience the pleasure of a broad sandy beach, the awesome
power of waves crashing against a rocky shore, or the simple pleasure of
beachcombing for unexpected treasures from the sea. Stroll our boardwalks
and see ships from around the world, watch fishermen at their timeless tasks
or sail or kayak among the many islands of our beautiful bays.
Boston, Massachusetts
Known as "the Hub" since its
pre-revolutionary days as "the Hub of Civilization," Boston is still an
exciting, vibrant city. Home to some of the world's greatest universities
and colleges, there is always something happening there. It's an extremely
walkable city with an easily accessible public transportation system, making
it easy for tourists to explore. There are a number of Revolutionary War
attractions you can visit today.
-
Boston Common, Revolutionary
War troops' training grounds
-
Bunker Hill Monument, site
of the American Revolution's bloodiest battle
-
USS Constitution, America's
only sailing ship that is still commissioned
-
