coastline dotted by historic towns. Nature also blessed the area with one of her
most astonishing phenomena: the reversing River Rapids. The fierce tides of the
Bay of Fundy rise with such force that they actually cause the St. John River to
reverse direction and its waters to flow upstream. Saint John’s history dates to
1604, when the Sieur de Champlain landed nearby on the feast day of Saint John
the Baptist. After the American Revolution, American Loyalists flocked to the area.
Saint John became a thriving industrial port. But the catastrophic fire of 1877,
declining commerce and decades of neglect gave the town a sad and careworn
look for decades. That changed in recent years. Redevelopment of the waterfront
and the old district has restored Saint John’s charm and its sense of history.
Day 9 Saturday 16 October, 2021 Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

will be transferred to the Caribbean Princess. Enjoy the spectacular view of the
New York skyline as we depart this wonderful city.
Day 5 Tuesday 12 October, 2021 Newport, Rhode Island
This morning we arrive in to Newport. In the 19th century, Newport was America’s
Versailles. It was here that the great merchant princes and rubber barons of the
‘Gilded Age’ erected the elaborate summerhouses they so ingenuously dubbed
‘cottages’. At the height of its splendour, a Newport season was a giddy whirl of
grand fêtes, yacht races and elaborate beach picnics for assorted Vanderbilts,
Astors and Morgan’s. Today, it is the privileged traveller who marvels at the
splendour of great mansions like The Breakers, The Elms, or Rosecliff. This evening
we have a welcome drinks party to celebrate the start of our cruise.
The Caribbean Princess is a Grand Class cruise ship with a capacity of over 3,600
Caribbean Princess passengers, the largest carrying capacity in the Princess fleet up until June 2013
when the new Royal Princess, was launched. She has 900 balcony staterooms
and a deck of mini-suites. She was the first modern cruise ship with an outdoor
theatre, which Princess bills as “Movies Under The Stars”. On board, guests can
also enjoy a variety of street performing acts in the Italian inspired Piazza, indulge
in a soothing massage from an outdoor cabana at The Sanctuary®, or savour a
premium steak cooked to order in the Crown Grill. A cruise on the Caribbean
Princess is a unique experience to be savoured and remembered.
