Discover the beauty of Upstate New York and Upper Canada on a seamless journey that combines scenic rail travel, boutique cruising, and visits to charming lakeside towns. We set off aboard Amtrak's Maple Leaf, riding along the historic Water Level Route before settling into a relaxing three-night stay in New York's Finger Lakes Region, where sparkling lakes, waterfalls, vineyards, and historic waterways create a spectacular backdrop for exploration.

From there, board the elegant Canadian Empress for a four-night cruise through the legendary Thousand Islands and waterways of Upper Canada. Enjoy comfortable accommodations, fine dining, included excursions, and ever-changing scenery as you sail past island estates, historic sites, and picturesque shoreline communities. The journey concludes with time in charming Niagara-on-the-Lake and an unforgettable visit to Niagara Falls, including a boat cruise to experience this natural wonder up close. Throughout the trip, every detail is expertly arranged—from transportation and accommodations to sightseeing and excursions—allowing you to simply relax and enjoy the journey while your professional tour manager handles the rest.
