| Day 4 | Montreal | Visit nearby SHELBURNE HERITAGE PARK, which exhibits one of the nation's most extraordinary collections of American decorative, folk, and fine art. It showcases buildings from around New England and New York, including an 1890 railroad station, a lighthouse, a stagecoach inn, and an Adirondack lodge. Travel northwest to Montreal, Canada's second-largest city. As Montreal has a unique mix of historical, natural, and cultural offerings, you may like to visit the Old Port Montreal, McCord Museum, or Olympic Park, or stroll around Mount Royal Park. (B) |

| Day 6 | Quebec City | Visit Canada's only walled city, which, until the British victory of 1759, was the center of New France and today is a World Heritage Site. Stroll within the walls and see the Place d'Armes, the Laval Seminary, and ancient Place Royale. Also see Old World houses crowding the narrow streets in Lower Town by the St. Lawrence River and the historic Plains of Abraham. (B,L,D) |
| Day 7 | Scenic Cruising: Gulf of St Lawrence | Quebec City marks the start of Saguenay Fjord.
