Shore Excursions

High Res Low TideWe invite you to come to Atlantic Canada on a cruise! Many of the world’s cruise lines sail to the Canada / New England region and anchor in the Bay of Fundy for a call on the Port of Saint John, New Brunswick. When they do, Aquila arranges an array of shore excursions for their guests, from day trips to charming fishing villages on the Bay of Fundy to walking on the ocean floor and experiencing the famous Reversing Rapids.

Aquila has been working with cruise lines to provide tours of Saint John and the Bay of Fundy to their guests since 1989. Our tours are designed to engage cruise guests with the spectacular Bay of Fundy, as well as Saint John’s fascinating history and culture. Our tour guides were nominated among the Best in the World by Dream World Cruise Destination Magazine numerous times since 2003 and they have a contagious enthusiasm for Saint John and the Bay of Fundy. We can’t wait to share it with you!

To assist in your cruise planning, the following cruise lines call on the Saint John & the Bay of Fundy, and Aquila is proud to be their primary shore excursion operator!

When choosing your cruise, be sure your itinerary includes a chance to anchor in the Bay of Fundy and visit the Port of Saint John, New Brunswick.

As the principal shore excursion operator in Saint John, it’s likely that Aquila will be looking after you on your tour, but please note that you must book your tours directly with your cruise line, and you should sign up early, as the most popular tours sell out quickly!

Testimonials

Our tour guide was Charlie and our driver was Norman. We had a wonderful time, they were very informative showing us the sites along the way. Charlie really kept the conversation going and told us a lot of history and about the people that live/lived there. Norman got us around safely and helped with walkers, wheelchairs or just getting the people on an off the bus.

We signed up for a tour and had the pleasure of having Al as our tour guide. We found Al to be an interesting, engaging man with a great sense of humor. We really enjoyed our tour. We hope to come back to New Brunswick. We feel that Al is a great addition to your staff

We took a shore excursion to the Bay of Fundy with driver Eric and tour
guide Faye. We had a great time. Faye was very knowledgeable about the area
and history. We purchased a handmade souvenir from the little shop next to
the restaurant and forgot it on the bus. We thought we would never see it
again, but to our surprise it was delivered to the ship. We would like to
thank your employees for their concern and honesty.

We arrived for our tour 5/28 our tour guide was Bonnie and she was absolutely amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and it was non stop information. Telling us history past and present. But the real treat was all of the photos, stories and information sheets which she supplied. It was a most enjoyable experience. Thank you.
