This delightful half-day panoramic drive is designed to show off Prince Edward Island's most impressive landmarks.
Travel west to view the stunning Confederation Bridge, linking Prince Edward Island to mainland Canada. Opened in 1997, it is an incredible eight miles long, making it Canada's longest bridge and the world's longest crossing over icy waters.
Today, as you travel across this engineering wonder high above the strait below, notice that the bridge is curved to keep drivers alert while driving across.
In the province of New Brunswick, visit the Cape Jourimain Nature Centre, stroll the boardwalk, hike to the lighthouse, and/or browse in the gift shops. If you wish, you can climb to the top of the lookout tower to marvel at the breathtaking views of the bridge as it fades to the horizon and check out the huge bridge supports constructed to deflect icebergs.
Travel back across the span and through panoramic countryside en route to your ship.
