Places of Interest

Gaspe

On the warmest summer day, wildflowers sway and hayfields ripple in the cool, brisk breeze that rises off the St. Lawrence Estuary. The easy warmth of sun-drenched meadows framed by the ever-present sea belie the harshness of wintry days when snow covers the ground and ice floes threaten ships making their way up the mighty river. Here, the ancient Appalachians, stretching over 1500 miles (2400 Km) from Northern Alabama across Eastern North America, reach their continental limit to plunge into the sea. It is easy to imagine that one has reached the end of the earth when sea-mists shroud these sculpted cliffs. The Mi'kmaq, who occupied this land when the first Europeans arrived, must have thought so too because they called it 'Gespeg' meaning 'the place where the land ends'.

Sydney, Nova Scotia

Sydney (Nova Scotia) is a Canadian urban community in the province of Nova Scotia. It is situated on the east coast of Cape Breton Island and is administratively part of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
Sydney was incorporated in 1904 and dissolved on August 1, 1995, when it was merged into the regional municipality. Sydney is the largest urban centre on Cape Breton Island. Together with Sydney Mines, North Sydney, New Waterford and Glace Bay it forms the Industrial Cape Breton region.

Halifax

Halifax, capital of Nova Scotia, has considerable charms. The beautifully restored waterfront buildings recall the city's centuries-old maritime heritage. Halifax is also the gateway to Nova Scotia's picturesque landscapes and rugged natural beauty.

Saint John

The steep streets of uptown Saint John are lined with charming buildings that reflect the city's rich shipbuilding history. The influence of British Loyalist settlers can be seen throughout the city including Kings Square, a park where the paths form the lines of the Union Jack. Saint John's most known attraction is the Reversing Falls, where the Saint John River meets the rising and falling tides of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world: 50 feet.

Ship info

Maasdam

The ms Maasdam is the fifth ship in Holland America Line's more than 130-year history to bear the name. Featuring an interior motif that pays homage to the historical Dutch East and West India companies of the 17th through 19th centuries, the centerpiece of this elegant ship features Luciano Vistosi's "Totem," a monumental sculpture using nearly 2,000 glimmering pieces of glass, prominently displayed in a soaring three-story atrium. She exudes a warm, elegant feel throughout by combining rich, polished woods and more than $2 million antiques and art collection. In Spring 2006 the ms Maasdam will have completed all Signature of Excellence enhancements to her public rooms
