Canada Port of call
A city market, uptown heritage, a tidal river.
In Saint John, New Brunswick, choose the City Market, a manageable exterior heritage visit around King’s Square or a shore viewpoint for the Reversing Falls Rapids. This is not St. John’s in Newfoundland or Saint John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Confirm whether your ship uses Marco Polo, Diamond Jubilee or Long Wharf before arranging your return. Tide-dependent views and regional Fundy outings need their own conditions and timing checks.
Option 1
Choose a plan for the stops, food, walking and extra costs. Suggested plans are flexible; use your ship’s all-aboard time to set your return.

Local tip
A reversal is not an on-demand show. The tourism authority explains that the view depends on tidal conditions. Confirm local information if a phase matters, and protect your ship’s return instead of waiting for the river to change.
