canada & alaska
Eastern Canada holidays offer a captivating blend of attractive cities, outdoor adventures, gourmet journeys and wildlife encounters.

Eastern Canada has a city to suit all tastes, from cosmopolitan Toronto and regal Ottawa to Montréal’s vibrant festivals and the historic charm of Québec City. It’s easy to combine all of these cities on one holiday to enjoy world-class dining, enticing arts scenes and fascinating museums.

Outside of Eastern Canada's cities lies pristine landscapes, dotted with small, welcoming towns. Discover stunning Mont Tremblant National Park and the beautiful coastline of the Gaspésie region of Québec. Be enchanted by Ontario’s unspoilt network of rivers and lakes and excited by the mighty Niagara Falls – its thundering waters are truly a sight to behold.
