Classic
cruise and sailing vessels, complete with polished wooden decks and
brass fittings, regularly ply Canada��s East and West Coasts, the massive
St. Lawrence River, and the five Great Lakes. Unique itineraries carry
passengers on fall foliage journeys along the St. Lawrence, the Thousand
Islands, and into the Great Lakes. When I first saw the north shore
of Lake Superior, I understood why the Canadian Group of Seven artists
were so struck by its visual beauty. Maritime cruises sail the rocky,
inlet-riddled coastlines of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador.
West Coast clippers skirt shorelines bearded with thick pine, spruce
and cedar forests. In the Arctic, genuine ice-breakers retrace the
steps of early explorers �� Franklin, Shackleton, Peary �� through glacier-ridden
seas and past dramatic fjords. And everywhere, whales sing �� humpbacks,
orcas, belugas, narwhals even the rare right whale. |
