We chose this cruise because it its itinerary. We liked the ports of call better than any itinerary we found in this region. However there is something missing with this line. The ship is worn out ( broke down the day before we were to embark) and it shows throughout. Atmosphere on board was dull. Employees were nice but lacked skill and polish. Docking locations were not good. Tenders were terrible and we got wet almost every time! We felt we paid luxury prices for sub luxury experience. We still had a great time when we were off the boat as this is a lovely part of the world. We hired our own guides in most ports but did the Windstar excursion in Gaspe and it was very nice. The other guides on board were very nice. The food was good but lacked variety over the the day period. I would not use this line again.
