Day 1 - Montréal, Québec, Canada

Welcome to Montréal. The largest French-speaking city in the Americas, Montréal has European flair and is known for its festivals, arts and good food. Spend the day wandering historic cobblestoned streets, including atmospheric Rue Saint-Paul in Old Montréal. Gaze inside the 19th-century Gothic Revival Basilique Notre-Dame or order a bagel or some poutine to go (the city’s famous French fries, cheese curds and gravy).

On board Scenic Eclipse, you'll meet the Captain, the crew and your butler. Settle into your spacious suite and join your fellow guests at the Sky Bar for a glass of Champagne before setting sail for your unforgettable journey towards New York City.

Please book your flight to arrive into Montreal prior to 02:00 PM.

Day 2 - Québec City, Québec, Canada

Considered the cradle of French America, Québec City is a World Heritage-listed fortified city founded in 1608. Step through more than 400 years of history in its charming cobblestone Old Town set within gates, towers and ramparts complete with cannons.

Perched atop the headland is the century-old Chateau Frontenac, now home to the luxurious Fairmont Chateau Frontenac hotel, alongside Notre-Dame de Québec Cathedral. Nearby, the 425-metre Dufferin Terrace boardwalk attracts street entertainers and offers sweeping views over the St Lawrence River and Lower Town.

Day 3 - At Sea

Every suite on board Scenic Eclipse is a haven of comfort and elegance. With floor-to-ceiling windows, a private verandah and a separate lounge area, your suite is the perfect place to unwind and watch the ocean drift by. Luxurious touches like Egyptian cotton linens, a pillow menu and spa-inspired bathrooms elevate your experience.

And then there’s the butler service, available to every guest. Whether you’d like a glass of Champagne delivered to your verandah, assistance with unpacking or a perfectly drawn bath after a day of exploration, your butler ensures every detail is taken care of. It’s personalised service at its finest.

Food is a culinary journey on Scenic Eclipse. With up to 10 culinary experiences, every meal is a voyage across cultures and flavours. Indulge in French elegance at Lumière+, savour Asian fusion at Koko’s, or enjoy the artistry of sushi at Sushi & Saké Bar.

Day 4 - Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada

Charlottetown is Prince Edward Island’s vibrant capital – a small city with an island lifestyle. Prince Edward Island played a significant role in the confederation of Canada but its original occupants, the Mi’kmaq, lived here for 12,000 years. One of its biggest claims to fame is being the hometown of Lucy Maud Montgomery, who penned the classic novel Anne of Green Gables. It’s also a huge fishing and seafood destination with over 1000 kilometres of coastline and white-sand beaches. Explore the city's well-preserved history and architectural treasures, its bustling harbour and picturesque waterfront boardwalk.

Day 5 - Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada > Canso Canal Transit

The Port of Pictou has a rich heritage as the Birthplace of New Scotland and as one of the province’s largest lobster fisheries – it even hosts an annual lobster carnival. Spend the morning exploring the buzzing waterfront and museums where you can learn about its Scottish heritage and fishing industry.

Back on board, enjoy the panoramic views of rugged coastlines and historic lighthouses as we sail through Canso Canal. Curl up in a cabana on Deck 10 with a drink whilst you admire the ever-changing scenery or soak it up from the Observation Lounge.

Day 6 - Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Spend the day in Halifax, Nova Scotia's dynamic capital. This historic port city has a Downtown district boasting a four-kilometre harbourside boardwalk brimming with restaurants, shops, museums, beer gardens and public art. Argyle Street is another happening area with live theatres and pubs that spill out on to the streets.

For a change of pace, Halifax Public Gardens occupy an entire block, complete with manicured lawns and floral displays. The hilltop fortress Halifax Citadel National Historic Site overlooks the city; a cannon has been fired here every day at noon since 1857 (except on Christmas Day).

After a day of exploring indulge in an ESPA treatment# at the expansive 550sqm Senses Spa, where signature therapies and restorative rituals await.

Day 7 - Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada

A former rum-running and ship-building town, Lunenburg is arguably Canada’s most beautiful town. This World Heritage-listed site is a picturesque village with architectural wonders such as the 19th-century Victorian-style Lunenburg Academy, the pink Wedding Cake House, and the 18th-century St. John’s Anglican Church. The town is known for being one of the British Empire’s first Protestant settlements in Nova Scotia. It’s a walkable city, so enjoy a relaxing day exploring its brightly painted houses, sample locally caught seafood and find its many galleries and artisan studios.

Day 8 - Bar Harbor, Maine, USA

Discover the coastal beauty of Bar Harbor. This is the gateway to Acadia National Park, which protects the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic Coast, as well as a landscape of ocean cliffs and rocky beaches, glacier-formed lakes and boreal forest. The town was a favourite summer getaway for the rich and famous in the 19th-century, but many of its luxury homes on ‘Millionaires Row’ were destroyed by fire in 1947. Despite this, the town is filled with charm, with colourful clapboard storefronts and a variety of restaurants that serve lobster and wild blueberry-inspired dishes (Maine’s official fruit).

Back on board visit the open bridge on Deck 7 to meet the Captain and navigational team, gaining first-hand insight into Scenic Eclipse’s state-of-the-art technology and one of the best vantage points on board.

Day 9 - Provincetown, Massachusetts, USA

Follow the creative footsteps of Jackson Pollock in his spiritual hometown of Provincetown, Massachusetts. Since the 1940s, this coastal haven has lured artists to its shores – it is, after all, a place that celebrates freedom of expression and individuality. Indulge in a trolley tour for an exclusive experience of 'P-town,' explore galleries, and savour culinary delights at renowned restaurants.

Day 10 - Oak Bluff Harbor, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, USA

With a population of just over 4,000, the small town of Oak Bluffs is a beacon of inclusivity and diversity. It’s located on the island of Martha's Vineyard – which ironically has no operating vineyards – the setting of Dorothy West's Harlem Renaissance novel ‘The Wedding’. The town comprises charming 19th-century pastel-coloured gingerbread cottages, an ocean park, the oldest continually operating carousel in the United States, and enchanting views of Nantucket Sound.

Tonight perhaps meet new friends at Sushi @ Koko’s for dinner. Enjoy entertainment in the state-of-the-art theatre and unwind with a nightcap at the Scenic Lounge Bar.

Day 11 - New York City, New York, USA

Cruise past the iconic Statue of Liberty and the breathtaking Manhattan skyline as you cruise into New York City. From the bright lights of Broadway to leafy Central Park and the glitzy boutiques of Fifth Avenue, the Big Apple is an unmissable experience.

Spend the afternoon exploring this global city. Walk the bustling streets of Lower Manhattan's financial district, the charming corners of Greenwich Village, and uncover New York's tapestry of culture, culinary delights, and architectural splendour. In the metropolis that never sleeps, there's something for everyone. Return for your final night on board the ultra-luxury Scenic Eclipse.

Day 12 - New York City, New York, USA

Your Signature Yacht Cruise ends today in New York City. Savour one last sumptuous breakfast on board your ultra-luxury 6-star Scenic Discovery Yacht before saying farewell to the crew and new friends who have shared this remarkable journey with you.
