North America
Stretching from three oceans to the Arctic Circle, North America offers a vast tapestry of wilderness and culture where French châteaux overlook the St. Lawrence, indigenous traditions flourish across endless prairies, and cosmopolitan cities nestle beneath snow-capped peaks. Few regions offer such dramatic contrasts—from the neon-lit canyons of the Southwest to the misty fjords of Alaska, from the jazz clubs of New Orleans to the redwood cathedrals of California and the maritime charm of the Atlantic provinces.
Step into a piece of European history in North America, where cobblestone streets wind through a UNESCO World Heritage site and French colonial architecture meets vibrant café culture. Experience the joie de vivre during winter carnival season, sample world-class maple syrup and poutine, and explore the dramatic landscapes of the Laurentian Mountains and Saguenay Fjord.
Discover rolling countryside dotted with vineyards, artisan cheese makers, and charming villages that feel like a secret corner of France. Cycle wine routes between picturesque towns, stay in converted monastery inns, browse local farmers markets, and witness spectacular fall foliage that rivals New England's famous displays.
Escape to tranquil islands where artists' studios nestle among arbutus groves and lavender farms, floating serenely between mainland mountains and island capitals. Kayak through protected waters spotting orcas and seals, browse galleries and farmers markets, and unwind at oceanside spas with views of snow-capped peaks.
Stand at the edge of North America where massive icebergs drift past colorful fishing villages and puffins nest on dramatic sea cliffs. Hike rugged trails through ancient geological wonders, listen to traditional Celtic music in historic pubs, and witness the spectacular migration of humpback whales in pristine bays.
Experience one of the world's most remote luxury escapes on this windswept island where 400-year-old fishing communities persist against all odds. Stay in architecturally stunning accommodations that seem to grow from the landscape itself, and discover contemporary art installations set against a backdrop of ancient terrain and traditional outport culture.
Venture into untouched backcountry where grizzly bears roam alpine meadows and aurora borealis dances across star-filled skies. From remote reaches of northern wilderness to vast boreal forests, track wildlife with indigenous guides, fish pristine rivers, and camp under endless skies where civilization feels like a distant memory.
Journey to the High Arctic where indigenous culture thrives amid some of Earth's most dramatic landscapes. Witness towering icebergs in Arctic straits, explore ancient archaeological sites, and experience the midnight sun while dog sledding across frozen tundra or kayaking among narwhals in waters that remain frozen most of the year.
Experience America's last frontier where massive glaciers calve into pristine fjords and brown bears fish for salmon in wild rivers. Cruise legendary waterways, ride historic railroads through national parks larger than entire states, pan for gold in forgotten mining towns, and witness northern lights dancing over snow-covered peaks.
Enter a world of endless ice and midnight sun where polar bears rule the frozen landscape and the horizon seems to stretch into infinity. Navigate historic passages, stay in remote communities where ancient traditions endure, experience traditional hunting and fishing techniques, and marvel at raw beauty largely unchanged since the last Ice Age.
Explore North America's backbone from soaring peaks to turquoise lakes that defy belief with their impossible colors. Hike wildflower-filled alpine meadows, spot mountain goats and elk in their natural habitat, raft wild rivers through untouched canyons, and stay in historic mountain lodges with views of glacier-crowned peaks stretching endlessly toward distant horizons.
