  • Days 1-3

    Iceland Exploration

    Board the Scenic Eclipse in Reykjavik before 2 PM on day one. You'll have time to get comfortable in your suite and look around the ship before departure. The next stop is Grundarfjörður where the stunning Kirkjufell mountain makes for perfect photos. On day three you'll see the impressive Dynjandi Waterfall in the Westfjords. The 100-meter falls create lots of spray so waterproof gear is essential.

    
  • Days 4-7

    Eastern Greenland

    A sea day takes you to Greenland where you'll explore the Fridtjof Nansen peninsula and see the massive Greenland Ice Sheet meeting the ocean. The next few days take you through Skjoldungen Fjord and Prince Christian Sound. These passages only open in summer when the ice melts enough for ships to pass between the glaciers and granite cliffs.

    
  • Days 8-12

    Southern Greenland

    Visit Narsaq where Viking Erik the Red settled over 1000 years ago and see Nuuk's colorful buildings in Greenland's capital. You'll hear glaciers calving in Evighed Fjord and visit Ilulissat, which means "iceberg" in Inuit. The World Heritage Icefjord here is spectacular. The Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier releases 46 cubic kilometers of ice every year.

    
  • Days 13-18

    Western Greenland

    Your journey continues to Kangerlussuaq and its ice cap before spending time around Ilulissat's Disko Bay watching enormous icebergs. You'll see the active Eqip Sermia Glacier and visit Sisimiut just north of the Arctic Circle. Look for local crafts made from qiviut (muskox wool) here.

    
  • Days 19-23

    Atlantic Canada

    Cross the Davis Strait to Newfoundland and L'Anse aux Meadows, the only confirmed Viking site in North America. You'll explore Gros Morne National Park and the historic Fortress of Louisbourg. The maritime climate can change quickly so pack layers.

    
  • Days 24-27

    Maritime Provinces & New England

    The final leg includes Halifax's maritime sites, Lunenburg's UNESCO colonial buildings and Portland's coastal lighthouses before ending in Boston. Schedule your departure flight after noon on the last day.

  • Days 1-2

    Ottawa

    Start in Canada's capital. Get to Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal early in your visit. The Fairmont Château Laurier makes a perfect base - you can walk to see the Changing of the Guard ceremony in the morning. One visitor shared: "The progressive dining experience through Ottawa's restaurants gave us an amazing taste of Canadian cuisine - don't miss the beaver tails!"

    
  • Days 3-4

    Quebec City

    Stop at Parc Oméga to see Canadian wildlife on your way to Quebec City. Walk the cobblestone streets of Old Quebec early before the cruise crowds show up. Stay at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. Take the Lower Town bike tour to see the area like a local - bikes work better than walking in Petit Champlain's narrow streets.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Montreal

    Drive the scenic Chemin du Roy to Montreal and visit a traditional sugar shack for real maple syrup. Join the Beyond the Market walking tour to sample local food. One traveler noted: "The Cadillac city tour showed us Montreal's street art that we would never have found ourselves."

    
  • Days 7-9

    Toronto & Niagara Falls

    After seeing the Thousand Islands, visit Toronto's main sites like the CN Tower (go early to skip lines). Get a Fallsview room at Niagara Falls. Book Table Rock Restaurant for dinner to see the falls lit up at night.

    
  • Days 10-14

    US East Coast Cities

    Visit Lancaster's Amish country before Washington DC. Tour the National Mall in the morning to avoid crowds. Try the Lower East Side food tour in NYC for local flavor. Take Amtrak's Acela to Boston and sit on the right for ocean views.

    
  • Days 15-27

    Scenic Eclipse Cruise

    Sail from Boston through New England to Canada's maritime provinces. Visit Halifax's waterfront beer gardens in early evening when locals gather. See Quebec City's old town before cruise ships arrive at 10 AM. The trip ends in Montreal - book late afternoon flights to clear customs easily.
