About This Tour


(On The Road driving vacation)
Spend nine days exploring the unspoiled landscapes of the Maritimes. Pick up your rental car in Halifax and begin discovering this fascinating area. Take a boat tour of Halifax Harbor and drive south to Peggy’s Cove, a charming fishing village and one of the most photographed places in the world. Travel north across the Canso Causeway and arrive on Cape Breton Island. Here, explore the 185-mile-long Cabot Trail. This loop around the northern tip of Cape Breton travels through Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Return to mainland Nova Scotia and ferry across the Northumberland Strait to Prince Edward Island. Continue to Charlottetown, the “Birthplace of Canada,” and cross the Confederation Bridge into New Brunswick. In Saint John, be sure to visit the Old City Market, then ferry across the Bay of Fundy to Digby, Nova Scotia. Take time to explore the Evangeline Trail and Port Royal, the first permanent European settlement in Canada. Return to Halifax to drop off your rental car and conclude your memorable vacation.

Standard Offers and Specials provided by Globus

Discount for young travelers

Share the pleasure of a Globus vacation with your children and grandchildren and take advantage of a 10-percent discount on the land-only price. For eligibility, children must be under 18 years of age on the departure date and must be accompanied by an adult. On escorted vacations we don’t accept children under eight years old because we have found that they are too young to enjoy these vacations.

Pay less for your second vacation

We charge you vacation price for your first vacation in 2008, but for every additional Globus vacation you take in the same year, you pay US$35 under list. Our vacations are designed and scheduled so you can combine them almost any way you want. It’s fun to play the add-a-vacation game yourself or talk to your travel agent.

Triple room reduction

On most Globus vacations you receive a reduction when three people travel together and share the same accommodations. Triple room reductions, when available, are listed on the itinerary pages. A word of caution: Triple rooms usually are no larger than twin rooms and the third bed, if there is one, is often a rollaway put in a twin-bedded room.

Avoid the single room supplement

We do not take reservations on a “share” basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of their vacation. Avoid the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It’s less expensive and much more fun!


Do you have a large party of friends or family that wants to travel?

Right now when you book between 5 and 7 people before December 31, 2008, each passenger will save $75.* For example, book 5 passengers and receive a $375 discount, 6 passengers equals a $450 discount and 7 passengers will receive a $525 discount. With an offer like this, the world’s greatest destinations are now closer than ever!

*Book a 2009 Globus vacation for five, six or seven travelers to receive the $75 off per person offer. Booking must be made, under deposit, and discount applied between Jun 4 and Dec 31, 2008 for travel through December 31, 2009. Individuals must be traveling together from the same origination point to receive the discount. Not valid with any other offer and applies to new 2009 bookings only. Offer reliant on space availability. Full cancellation penalties will apply. Additional restrictions may apply.
