The lure of coastal New England with its iconic lighthouses, windswept beaches, and shore towns rich in colonial and maritime history gets even harder to resist in autumn, when the sea takes on a deeper blue and the landscape goes ablaze with color. You can see why the Pilgrims decided to stay (you can even ask some of them at Plimoth Plantation), and how the romance of old whaling towns like Nantucket only increases as the summer crowds fade away. Of course, it gets even more exotic, rugged and picturesque as you head north to the Canadian Maritime Provinces and encounter Halifax with its legacy of buccaneering joie de vivre, picture-perfect fishing villages steeped in Acadian and Celtic culture, dramatic seascapes of cliffs and crashing tides... and the pastoral beauty of Prince Edward Island (aglow in autumn light). Are you hooked yet?
Canadian Maritimes
Picture yourself in the romantic Nova Scotian fishing villages of Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg... admiring the vistas of Halifax Harbour from the star-shaped walls of the Citadel during a private tour and dinner at the fortress...“taking” downtown Halifax from your staging area at The Prince George Hotel in the heart of the city... discovering the pleasures of New Brunswick’s Moncton, “the
geographic crossroads of the Maritimes,” from the Delta Beauséjour... whale watching off Hopewell Cape and learning a little cultural history in St. Johns... kicking back at the Prince Edward Hotel in Victorian Charlottetown after exploring the amazing dunes of Prince Edward Island National Park and looking for Anne at Green Gables farm... feasting on Nova Scotian cuisine, island-style, at a “Kitchen Party” at the Keltic Lodge (with a wee taste of the spirits and some Celtic music)... immersing in Acadian culture on Cape Breton
Island...and reveling in visions of blueberry fields turned scarlet after an autumn frost – or the dramatic bluffs, blue water, pristine beaches, and farmlands fired with harvest colors...

Special accommodations note: Hotels, such as the Keltic Lodge, were primarily selected for their location; they’re in the heart of the best places to visit. Seasonal travel means that a few accommodations will not compare to Tauck’s hotels in other locations. We find – and expect you will find – that these hotels provide exceptional access to remote scenic treasures, despite a few inconsistencies with the standards of other Tauck accommodations.
