New Brunswick

New Brunswick

In New Brunswick, once-in-a-lifetime adventure awaits. Discover the highest tides in the world, an ocean teeming with marine life, dozens of sandy beaches, and endless opportunities to be immersed in local cultures, cuisine and nightlife.

New Brunswick is home to 15 First Nations communities — including the Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik — who have called the province home for thousands of years. They are an integral part of the province’s culture. In fact, New Brunswick has more Indigenous-named rivers, towns and other landmarks than any other Atlantic province.

Listen to generations of Oral History passed down by the Mi'gmaq People while walking the rugged 150-kilometre Nepisiguit Mi'gmaq Trail. Stay at a cozy lodge and learn the skills of fly fishing from the Metepenagiag Mikmaq Nation. Or attend an energetic pow wow in the summer to celebrate vibrant cultures through song, dance, food and craft.

Just off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, the capital of New Brunswick is a riverfront city, where more than 120 kilometres of trails create a scenic network for outdoor exploration alongside the Wolastoq (“Beautiful River” in Maliseet) before it flows into the Bay of Fundy.

If you can’t take the beat, get out of the kitchen! One of the highlights of a visit to the Canadian Maritimes is the Ceilidh (kay-lee), or kitchen party, a Gaelic celebration of music, dancing, and storytelling. In addition to this traditional maritime merriment, this tour of the Canadian Maritimes and Cape Breton has cooked up plenty of unique experiences in this picturesque part of the world. Get your camera ready for Canada’s most photographed lighthouse in Peggy’s Cove, your windbreaker zipped for the highest and widest tides at Hopewell Rocks, and your taste buds ready for a traditional fish cake breakfast, sugar camp lunch, and fresh lobster dinner. Throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, tiny fishing villages, giant whales, and the grandest of scenery will be calling your name, as will Cape Breton’s historic Alexander Graham Bell Museum. Hello, coastal Canada! Say goodnight to coastal Canada and good morning to French Canada as you board the overnight Ocean train in Halifax for Montréal. Aboard the oldest continuously operated named passenger train in North America, you’ll sleep in comfort before awakening to the dream sights of Québec’s largest city. An included hop-on/hop-off trolley tour will put a spring in your step on this extension to your tour of Eastern Canada.
