CANADA & NEW ENGLAND

From the vibrant metropolis of New York with its iconic landmarks to the quaint European elegance of Québec City. We’ll immerse ourselves in the city life and discover the true essence of each of these great places.
You’ll encounter magnificent mountains, wild coastlines, fjords, waterfalls and wildlife – there’s no better way to experience it all than right on the water aboard Silversea’s luxury ship, Silver Shadow, and by scenic train.
On the journey along the St Lawrence River and rugged North Atlantic coast, we’ll pass through quaint seaside towns and historic fishing villages. There truly is something for everyone on this wonderful journey.
