EXCURSION and DINNER --- July 18, 2013

Join your kilted guide and head to Peggy's Cove - an artists' and explorers' paradise for well over 150 years. This famed village on the rugged Atlantic Shoreline stands on solid rock above the crashing surf. The coastline is famous for pirates, shipwrecks, sunsets and the one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. There will be plenty of time for exploring this unique area, and for those who wish, your guide will take you on a walking tour of the moody cove and village.

Return to Halifax and enjoy a history and anecdote-filled ride through the streets of Halifax which will introduce you to one of North America's most unique and captivating destinations. Hear of the days of rum-running and privateering, Halifax during the war years, and the exploits and the heroism of the citizens that lived through the devastating Halifax Explosion in 1917. Your excursion includes a picture stop at Citadel Hill and the Old Town Clock, as well as a visit to the Titanic Burial Site at the Fairview Lawn Cemetery where you will learn about our connection to this disaster.

Next, an unforgettable dining experience awaits as we step aboard the Harbour Queen I where we will savour a delicious buffet dinner and cruise along the beautiful and picturesque harbourside.
