The Maritime Provinces of Canada which once resounded with the footsteps of explorers, trappers and native Americans, are now home to some of the choicest golf courses in the world.

Our golf adventure aboard Clelia II begins in St. John’s, Newfoundland, where players will test their skill at Clovelly Golf Club, the Graham Cooke designed Osprey Course is one of the best in Atlantic Canada. Continue onto Cape Breton Island on Nova Scotia for a round at the world-class Highland Links, this links-style masterpiece is famous for its “out and back” routing that melds with the jagged shores, undulating woodlands and twisting brooks. We then head for Prince Edward Island and The Links at Crowbush Cove, acknowledged by Golf Digest as Canada's Best New Course. From the Gaspe Peninsula, we navigate the historic Saguenay River en route to the French-accented cities of Montreal and Quebec City and their respective golf offerings at The Grand Vallon, set against the backdrop of Mont-Sainte-Anne and Royal Montreal Golf Club, the oldest golf club in North America, having been founded in 1873, a tough test famous for its vast putting surfaces.

This remarkable passage continues along the St. Lawrence Seaway and its seven locks that connect the Atlantic Ocean with Lake Ontario, arriving at scenic Thousand Islands and ultimately Rochester, New York. Throughout this voyage, non-golferswill enjoy unforgettable excursions to pristine wildlife preserves, bustling cities and townscapes from a time when the French and the English once positioned for control of the New World.
