Experience the Best of Eastern Canada & New England on a Luxury Cruise
Once known as New France, Québec City sits gracefully along the St. Lawrence River, one of the oldest cities in North America. Its 400-year-old ramparts rival those of San Juan, while cobblestone lanes, the famed funicular, the boutiques of Petit Champlain, and the stalls of Marché du Vieux-Port invite you into a vibrant tapestry of culture, cuisine, and history.
From there, the charm of Québec gives way to the deep fjords of Saguenay, the dramatic cliffs of the Gaspé Peninsula, and the tidal magic of the Bay of Fundy. In Halifax, maritime lore meets modern flair, while smaller ports reveal pristine beaches, scenic drives, and a mosaic of French, Acadian, and Indigenous heritage. The Gulf of St.Lawrence, the largest estuary in the world, carries tales of early explorers, fishermen, and cultures that shaped the region’s identity.
As you sail into New England, the story continues with Boston’s Freedom Trail, Newport’s Gilded Age mansions, and the colonial heart of the American Northeast. The rolling hills and harbors of New England come alive in the fall — a season made for lighthouses, lobster rolls, and landscapes bursting with color. The blend of seafaring legacy and seasonal charm is unmatched.
And then comes the crescendo — New York City, where skyline meets soul. This legendary metropolis needs no introduction. Whether it’s the Empire State Building, One World Observatory, or The Met, the city offers a cultural jolt like no other. Galleries, Broadway theaters, luxury shopping, and world-renowned cuisine await as you end your journey in the most iconic way possible.
What makes these Silversea voyages especially compelling is the variety. Each port brings something new — historic charm, rugged beauty, urban energy, or culinary discovery. With excursions tailored to every interest and ability level, you can kayak through coastal waters, set out on a whale-watching cruise, taste regional specialties, or explore heritage sites — all with expert guides.
Of course, the Silver Shadow itself is a destination. With the highest space-to-guest ratio at sea, you’ll find serene suites, indulgent dining, and an unmatched attention to detail. Classic touches, like traditional afternoon tea at 4 p.m., blend seamlessly with contemporary luxury and personal service.
