Step back in time and explore the breathtaking island of Cape Breton on a full-day excursion that highlights the 18th and 19th centuries.
Travel back to 1744 as you venture to the Fortress of Louisbourg -- the largest fortified town outside of Europe. Louisbourg was once a thriving seaport and capital of Île Royale (Cape Breton Island). You'll see a selection of buildings and exhibits displayed during the pre-siege era. Wander up to the spectacular chapel in the King's Bastion for terrific views.
Take in the picturesque countryside en route to charming Baddeck. You will encounter stunning views of St Ann's Bay, the Seal Island Bridge and the lush green foothills of the Cabot Trail.
You will visit the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, honoring the inventor of the telephone and many more discoveries. The complex is dedicated to Bell's life's work in the 19th century and his many inventions.
Enjoy free time to explore the quaint village of Baddeck. You can walk along the waterfront boardwalk to browse in the gift shops or purchase lunch (at your own expense).
Return to Sydney, climbing the scenic Kelly's Mountain as you return to the ship.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Lunch is not included. You will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour.
