Harbor at Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market for bites to eat along with more bits of history.
Portland, Maine, is especially proud of its new Arts District and its Eastern Promenade Park overlooking the boats and islands of Casco Bay. Slip out of town to photograph the classic Portland Head Light lighthouse and continue to Kennebunkport for views of the Bush family summer estate and a taste of local lobster roll sandwiches. Special excursions are available for foodies, coastal bicycling, or joining a lobsterman on his boat to check lobster traps.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a handsome Canadian port with many choices of activities. Tour the star-shaped fortress, Halifax Citadel, where guides are attired
in historical military uniforms. Visit the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, which includes a major Titanic tribute exhibit. Tours along the rocky coast pass through fishing villages facing St. Margaret
Bay to the famous lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove. Relax aboard the Tall Ship Silva of Halifax on a sail around Halifax Harbor, the second largest natural harbor
in the world, for views of Canada’s east coast naval base and waterfront homes.
Two leisurely days at sea on a southern heading to Bermuda present you with ample opportunities to indulge in the sumptuous amenities of Oceania’s Insignia. St. George’s, Bermuda, extends a rare invitation to Insignia. Due to this ship’s much
more manageable size, it can navigate the narrow passage to dock in the cozy harbor town of St. George’s. The town’s historic buildings serve as restored homes, churches, offices, shops, pubs and restaurants; a horse-drawn carriage tour is an ideal way to visit. Venture out across this British territory – comprised of small islands connected by bridges and ferries – to picture-perfect pink beaches, ocean-front golf courses, pastel-color waterfront homes with manicured lawns, well-tended flower gardens, and yacht-filled marinas.
Experience a dramatic conclusion to your vacation voyage when the ship glides under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge into New York Harbor and past
the Statue of Liberty to dock at the Manhattan Passenger Terminal. As you reluctantly depart Oceania’s Insignia, board AAA’s motorcoach for the journey home ... and you can begin to imagine your next bon voyage with AAA Central Penn!
