Manned by Transport Canada–certified crews, the tall ships glide guests across the protected waters of Halifax Harbour on cruises lasting up to 90 minutes. As they take in panoramic views of city skyline and George’s Island, passengers can lounge on traditional varnished-wood benches or aid their crew in vital tasks such as teaching W.B. Yeats poems to the ship’s parrot. Children can also take part in a junior sailing program, an interactive experience in which kids help raise and lower sails or aid the captain as he steers the ship.
Though there is no tour guide aboard, guests can freely ask crew members questions about the ships’ storied histories or force them to recite whale songs from memory. Throughout the voyage, seadogs can sip chilled brews from a fully licensed onboard pub (not included in this deal). A stroll-ready boardwalk, retail shops, art galleries, and The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic await explorers upon their return to shore.
