Paul W. & Kim's Dream Vacation - Canada & New England
Dear Listeners & Friends,
Did you know that Kim and I honeymooned on Seabourn? To say the least, we were blown away and have been dying to get back. And we’ve been dying to explore Canada & New England. Imagine walking the streets of old-world Montreal and Quebec City. Cruising in and out of the scenic Maritimes to Charlottetown and Halifax. Exploring the Freedom Trail in Boston. Touring a historic mansion in Newport. Our 8th Dream Vacation has it all and Kim and I are beyond excited!
Consistently ranked at the very top of every luxury cruise list (including our own), Seabourn will fulfill and exceed your travel dreams. Once you board, you will not want to leave! Which is why we have selected an almost two-week itinerary including three full days at sea where you’ll be pampered to your heart’s content. And here is the best part. With only 229 guests aboard, the Seabourn Quest will feel like your very own “private club” where literally everything is included onboard. World-class dining with no reservations. Complimentary premium wines and spirits. Complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi. All your gratuities and much more!
Of course, all the little details (and the big details too) are handled by our long-time partners in travel, Cruise & Tour. Flights, two nights in Montreal, two tours, ship accommodations and events, transfers, they’re taking care of everything! Which frees us up to hang out with YOU… which we absolutely love doing!
This is the perfect itinerary on the perfect ship. I invite you to check out all the details below and make your reservation today. We have about a quarter of the ship reserved for WJR Travel Club members and when the suites are gone, they’re gone! Kim and I sincerely hope you will join us!
Regards,
Paul W. Smith

From its unmatched sense of style, elegance, and grace, grand social spaces to the private balconies adorning every suite, Seabourn Quest is a work of art from bow to stern. (B, D)
Port Quebec City, Canada
Welcome to the capital of Quebec—the birthplace of French-Canadian civilization. With its historic ramparts, churches, and Old Town (Old Quebec), it is considered one of the most beautiful cities in North America. (B, L, D)
Scenic Cruising Saguenay Fjord – Saguenay, Quebec, Canada
Canada’s Saguenay Fjord National Park encloses a very deep, winding waterway penetrating from the St. Lawrence River through the ancient, glaciated foothills of the Laurentian Mountains.

Cap-aux-Meules, iles de la Madeleine, Quebec, Canada
Situated within the archipelago of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, this island presents a tapestry of picturesque fishing villages and coastlines where the relentless forces of wind and water have etched a hauntingly beautiful landscape. The Church of St. Pierre in Laverniere stands as a testament to the island’s maritime history, constructed from the remnants of ill-fated ships that succumbed to the treacherous shoals offshore. Today, a vigilant lighthouse stands guard, serving as a beacon of warning to prevent further calamities. (B, L, D)
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
A city firmly dedicated to nostalgia; PEI’s capital is full of period buildings recalling a past that strongly informs the present. The City Hall is a National Historic Site of Canada, and the city proudly proclaims its history as the Birthplace of Confederation. Wander the well-maintained waterfront and the atmospheric downtown streets or cross the island’s pastoral fields to Summerside or the red rock North Cape. (B, L, D)
Day at Sea
Today is yours to enjoy! There are many activities available—attend a fascinating lecture, lounge as you read the news, run on a sea-view treadmill in the gym, or indulge in a massage at the spa. Try your luck at the casino or the nine-hole putting course. Visit the salon for a facial, take a dip in the pool, or even watch a first-run movie in bed (with popcorn)! (B, L, D)

Bostonians tout their many cultural treasures, such as Quincy Market, Faneuil Hall, Fenway Park, and the JFK Library, as well as such refined diversions as Symphony Hall and the Museum of Fine Arts.
