THE AMERICAS

Our two westbound sailings to the Americas present perfectly contrasting opportunities. The ideal time to visit Canada is during its famous ‘Fall’, when the area is speckled with red, orange and green leaves. It is especially enjoyable in the national parks and makes for a great setting while you explore the meeting of French and British cultures. Seeming a world away, the perfect beaches, exotic wildlife and fascinating lifestyles of the Caribbean are on every traveller’s wish list.
