A Mom & Son Adventure: Cruising from Boston to Quebec City

There are trips that you take to see new places, and then there are trips you take to make memories that will last a lifetime. This Mom & Son adventure was definitely the latter.

Our journey began in the historic city of Boston, where we spent time exploring before boarding the beautiful Holland America Line Zuiderdam. From the moment we stepped onboard, we knew we were in for an incredible adventure as we sailed through New England and Eastern Canada, ending in the charming city of Quebec City.

Exploring New England & Canada

Each port offered something unique and gave us the opportunity to experience the history, culture, and natural beauty of the region.

In Boston, we enjoyed a hop-on, hop-off trolley tour, visited the famous Cheers neighborhood, walked through beautiful Beacon Hill, toured the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, and watched the city from the harbor before beginning our cruise.



Our first port was Portland, Maine, where we visited the iconic Portland Head Light. Seeing one of the most photographed lighthouses in America overlooking the rocky coastline was the perfect introduction to New England.





As we continued north, we were fortunate enough to spot whales and even dolphins from the ship—a reminder that sometimes the best moments happen when you least expect them.

Halifax, Nova Scotia welcomed us with its waterfront charm, historic sites, and local shops, while Sydney, Nova Scotia introduced us to Cape Breton’s rich history and the famous World’s Largest Fiddle.



One of my favorite stops was Prince Edward Island. Even though the weather included a little “liquid sunshine,” it didn’t dampen our spirits. We explored the island’s breathtaking coastline, visited Green Gables Heritage Place, learned about Acadian history, admired the island’s famous red cliffs, and of course enjoyed some delicious COWS Ice Cream.



Relaxing at Sea

Sea days quickly became some of our favorites. They gave us the chance to slow down and simply enjoy being together.

We spent time swimming, relaxing on the Lido Deck, enjoying afternoon tea, reading in the Crow’s Nest, participating in onboard activities, watching for whales, and even treating ourselves to a massage. One of the most unforgettable moments came during our final sea day as we sailed up the beautiful St. Lawrence River. We were lucky enough to spot a beluga whale—a memory we’ll both cherish for years to come.



Our Final Stop: Quebec City

Our cruise concluded in one of North America’s most beautiful cities—Quebec City.

Before flying home, we took a tour through the historic streets of Old Quebec, admired centuries-old architecture, and visited the breathtaking Montmorency Falls. Of course, every great adventure seems to need one unexpected story. Our tour bus blew a tire before reaching the iconic Fairmont Château Frontenac! Determined not to miss our chance for one last photo, we quickly grabbed an Uber, made it to the hotel, snapped our pictures, and then headed to the airport.



Looking back now, that little detour just became another fun memory to add to the trip.

More Than Just a Vacation

As a travel advisor, I’m fortunate to visit incredible destinations around the world. But this trip reminded me that travel isn’t just about checking places off a bucket list. It’s about slowing down, spending quality time with the people you love, sharing new experiences, and creating memories that will last forever.

Watching whales together, exploring historic cities, laughing through unexpected travel hiccups, and simply enjoying uninterrupted time together made this trip incredibly special.

These are the moments that matter.

Thank you to everyone who followed along on our journey. I hope our adventure inspires you to create meaningful travel memories with the people you love.

Until the next adventure…

Japan Holiday for Cherry Blossoms and Cultural Experiences

We recently planned a two-week trip to Japan using Johnnie Herring and we were extremely pleased. Not only is she kind and personable, she makes sure to know what our biggest goals and desires are for the trip and creates an itinerary accordingly. It was organized and made the trip go super smoothly, and I can’t imagine planning a trip like this without her help and guidance. This was the best trip of our lives, we did not want to come home and looking forward to using Johnnie’s services again in the near future.
