When settlers arrived on Cape Ann in 1623, they declared its waters the best fishing grounds in the New World. Some things never change. Four hundred years on, the “Other Cape” of Massachusetts (its most famous is Cape Cod) remains steeped in the traditions and charms of its fishing village origins. Prolong your stay in Boston, and you’ll experience them firsthand during visits to Rockport, home to a thriving artists’ community; Gloucester, renowned for its fishing past; and Salem, with its witchy and seafaring past. Depending on your departure, you’ll visit Salem during peak Halloween festivities, so get ready for a day full of breathtaking coastal vistas, beautiful seascape paintings, and spellbinding history. Plus, an additional day in Boston lets you delve more deeply into its sophisticated culture.

Engaging and dynamic, Ottawa may not be Canada’s largest city, but it is by many accounts its most grandiose and auspicious. You would expect nothing less from the capital of the world’s second-largest country. Its enormous Parliament buildings anchor the city center with their Gothic splendor. The Rideau Canal — stretching 126 miles to Lake Ontario — adds a relaxed character. And ribbons of parkland are blanketed with a riot of reds and oranges in the fall. Complement your expedition with a stay here, and you’ll also enjoy a scenic drive through the Ontario and Québec provinces, stopping to visit some of Canada’s wildlife at Parc Omega and savoring an extravagant lunch at the world’s largest log cabin.
