Discover the natural beauty and diverse cultures of Eastern Canada on an adventure along the picturesque St. Lawrence River. Stroll through 400 years of history in Old Québec—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and St-Pierre, the only remaining French territory in North America. Venture into the rugged wildernesses of the Saguenay River Fjord in search of rare wildlife, and visit the Côte-Nord, known for its striking monoliths and limestone island. And, at every turn, you’ll be immersed in the region’s fascinating history, stemming from French, British and Indigenous roots.
