Our Excursion:
Peggy's Cove & Coastal Scenic Drive ($74.95)
Explore the early 19th-century coastal village that's inspired hundreds of artists and photographers - Peggy's Cove. Departing your ship, you'll board your transportation for a scenic ride through Halifax as you travel to the idyllic fishing community that dates back to 1811. Once there, you'll be able to explore the town at your leisure and visit the quaint shops. You won't want to miss visiting the most famous lighthouse in all of Canada. The lonely 1914 lighthouse stands atop a granite outcrop lashed by the sea and protects sailors from the jagged and smooth rocks that surround the cove. You'll also have the option to see a live lobster demonstration, a natural attraction in this active fishing village. Then return to port, passing some of Halifax's most notable sights.
The capital of Nova Scotia and the largest city in Canada's Atlantic Provinces, Halifax was once Great Britain's major military bastion in North America. The beautifully restored waterfront buildings of Halifax's Historic Properties recall the city's centuries-old maritime heritage. Stroll the waterfront, and you may find Nova Scotia's floating ambassador, the schooner Bluenose II, tied up to Privateer's Wharf, just as old sailing ships have done for over 200 years. Halifax is also the gateway to Nova Scotia's stunning scenery, including famous Peggy's Cove, where surf-pounded granite cliffs and a solitary lighthouse create an unsurpassed scene of rugged natural beauty.
