Explore the south shore of Nova Scotia for the day beginning with a relaxing drive to the town of Lunenburg. This UNESCO World Heritage Site village is said to be the prettiest town in Canada.
Settled in the mid-1750s by Germans and Swiss, Lunenburg was once the busiest ship-building town in the world. It is still a bustling fishing port and the locals retain one of the most interesting accents in North America.
Walk with your guide on a short route that highlights Lunenburg's significant seafaring history. Then, enjoy free time to explore the simple coastal beauty, folk art, and shops. You might even have a chance to talk with the residents of this famous waterfront town.
Departing Lunenburg, head to Mahone Bay -- a colorful little town filled with antique and artisan shops. Be sure to take a photo of the three landmark churches that grace the waterfront before re-boarding your coach and traveling back to the ship.
