Discover Indian summer & North America with AIDA
In fall 2015, AIDAdiva will visit New York, Boston, Quebec, and Montreal. Between September 21 and October 31, 2015, the cruise ship will travel the east coast of North America on four ten-day tours. Apart from these impressive cities, a dramatic natural spectacle delights passengers – Indian summer.<?xml:namespace prefix="o" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"?>
AIDAdiva will first drop anchor at Pier 90 in the heart of Manhattan for two days – enough time for guests to fully enjoy their Big Apple adventure. The 360° panorama from the viewing platform of the Empire State Building provides a spectacular vista of New York’s most famous landmarks. While there, visitors should check out an insider tip, the “Meatpacking District.” Trendy stores have set up shop in the old covered markets, and visitors may recognize the local “Bistro Pastis” from the popular US series “Sex in the City.” The best place to admire nocturnal New York and its myriad lights is Brooklyn Bridge.
Another New England highlight is Boston: The Freedom Trail winds through the city like a red thread, taking visitors to the most important historical buildings, churches and plazas. Visitors to Beacon Hill and the North End with the romantic cobblestone streets may feel as though they have stepped back in time to 19th century Europe.
In the state of Maine, one can enjoy the picturesque port of Bar Harbor in its natural beauty. Travelers can take a stroll on the Ocean Trail and enjoy an impressive view of the mountains and the jagged coastline. And, of course, in the home of the famous Maine lobster, a lobster dinner is a must.
Halifax is another cruise destination. Canada’s oldest city is the capital of the province of Nova Scotia. The old piers and warehouses of the port district with their restaurants, bars and boutiques are the perfect place to spend some time. One can also visit the romantic coastal community of Peggy’s Cove, whose landmark is a small lighthouse.
With Quebec, AIDAdiva visits Canada’s biggest province. The city’s landmark, the world-famous Château Frontenac hotel, can already be seen from the ship. Taking a stroll across the Petit Champlain, travelers will be enchanted by the Gallic charm. Away from the city center, a trip to the mighty Montmorency Falls is an unforgettable experience.
Montreal is multi-faceted. As AIDAdiva stays over night, AIDA vacationers have the chance to get to know this vibrant city. The 233-meter-high Mont Royal offers a fantastic view of the new town’s skyline as far as the Saint Lawrence River. In the Vieux Montreal district, visitors can admire the imposing cathedral.
