11 nights. United States of America, Canada

Day 1

philadelphia, pennsylvania

Departure: 16:00

Philadelphia is the biggest city in Pennsylvania, the second biggest on the East Coast, and the fifth most populated city in the U.S. It's situated in the Northeastern U.S., along the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, and it's the only city-county in Pennsylvania. At Franklin Court, you'll find the Christ Church Burial Ground, a famous landmark where Ben Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried. Congress Hall, the first home of Congress, is also here. George Washington and John Adams were inaugurated in this building, and the Bill of Rights was ratified inside. The Liberty Bell, Philadelphia's most famous attraction, was rung to mark the reading of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Despite its 2,000-pound weight, the Bell doesn't look that heavy. Philadelphia is a fantastic city to visit. It's friendly, full of history, and offers a great blend of old and new, historic and modern. There are plenty of sites, restaurants, clubs, and museums to keep you entertained, as well as numerous parks in the city center and the rivers, which add to the city's peaceful yet lively atmosphere.

Day 5

saint john,nb (bay of fundy)

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 16:00

Saint John is a seaport city on the Atlantic Ocean, located on the Bay of Fundy in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. It is the oldest incorporated city in Canada, established by royal charter on May 18, 1785, during the reign of King George III. The Port of Saint John is Canada’s third-largest port by tonnage, handling dry and liquid bulk, break bulk, containers, and cruise ships. The city was the most populous in New Brunswick until the 2016 census, when it was surpassed by Moncton. It is now the second-largest city in the province, with a population of 67,575 and an area of 315.96 km² (121.99 sq mi). French colonist Samuel de Champlain landed at Saint John Harbour on June 24, 1604 (the feast day of St. John the Baptist), giving the Saint John River its name, although the Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik peoples had lived in the region for thousands of years and called the river Wolastoq. During the French colonial era, the Saint John area was a key center for trade and defense in Acadia, and Fort La Tour, in the city’s harbour, was an important battleground during the Acadian Civil War. After more than a century of territorial disputes between the French and the English over the land around Saint John, the English deported the French colonists in 1755 and built Fort Howe above the harbour in 1779. In 1785, the City of Saint John was created by uniting the towns of Parrtown and Carleton on either side of the harbour, following the arrival of thousands of refugees from the American Revolution who wished to remain British and were forced to leave their homes in the United States. Over the next century, successive waves of immigration through Partridge Island, especially during the Great Famine in Ireland, fundamentally reshaped the city’s demographics and culture.
