Day 1

statue of liberty (cruising)

Departure: 22:00

New York City is an international metropolis built on the shoulders of immigrants and their descendants. New York City is home to eight million people, and the city welcomes more than 50 million visitors each year. Your tour of New York City should include sampling the food from hundreds of different cultures, and you can explore it easily on foot, by taxi, or via the famous subway system. A gift from the French people to the American people, the Statue of Liberty is a universal symbol of freedom and the city’s most famous landmark. Wall Street acts as the heart of big business being the home of the New York Stock Exchange. The Empire State Building towers over the Big Apple as the second-tallest building in the city, with the nearby Chrysler Building also dominating the skyline. Nearby is the headquarters of the United Nations overlooking the East River and Grand Central Terminal, one of the busiest train stations in the world. No sightseeing in New York is complete without a visit to Times Square. Take in its billboards, its many people, and its food, then cross over to Central Park, which comprises 850 acres of lakes and meadows, where you can escape from the city buzz. You also have your choice of art and history museums, as well as the Reflecting Absence Memorial and Museum, where you can pay your respects to the victims of 9/11. Even though Manhattan houses most of the city’s landmarks, each of the districts of the city has its unique and distinctive personality worth exploring. From the historic streets of Brooklyn to the international cuisine of Queens, there is something for every type of person in the city. Above all, New York is a city to have fun and indulge oneself. So, enjoy yourself, and get ready to take a bite out of the Big Apple. New York City has everything for everyone: architecture, art, cuisine, entertainment, shopping. It's all here.

Two hours north of Boston is Portland, the capital of the state of Maine, known for its food scene and beer production.

Day 5

saint john,nb (bay of fundy)

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 17:00

Saint John is a port city on the Atlantic Ocean, located on the Bay of Fundy in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. It is the oldest incorporated city in Canada, established by royal charter on 18 May 1785 during the reign of King George III. The port is Canada’s third-largest by tonnage, handling dry and liquid bulk, break bulk, containers, and cruise traffic. The city was the most populous in New Brunswick until the 2016 census, when it was overtaken by Moncton. It is now the second-largest city in the province, with a population of 67,575 over an area of 315.96 km² (121.99 sq mi). French colonist Samuel de Champlain landed at Saint John Harbour on 24 June 1604 (the feast of St John the Baptist), which is also when the Saint John River received its English name, although the Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik peoples had lived in the region for thousands of years before that, calling the river Wolastoq. The Saint John area was an important centre for trade and defence in Acadia during the French colonial era, and Fort La Tour, in the city’s harbour, was a pivotal battleground during the Acadian Civil War. After more than a century of disputes between the French and English over the land around Saint John, the English deported the French colonists in 1755 and built Fort Howe above the harbour in 1779. In 1785, the City of Saint John was created by uniting the two towns of Parrtown and Carleton on either side of the harbour, following the arrival of thousands of refugees from the American Revolution who wanted to remain British and were forced to leave their homes in the United States. Over the following century, waves of immigration through Partridge Island, especially during the Great Famine, fundamentally changed the city’s demographics and culture.
