Holland America Line shore excursions come in all shapes and sizes. On every cruise, there are adventure tours for the thrill-seekers, city tours for the historians, excursions that explore the water and the sky, art-focused tours, nature-based excursions and so much more. Sometimes the best way to see a new city is up close, on foot, taking your time and strolling along the streets into hidden corners that a bus can’t reach.

From the port of Gaspe, Quebec, guests can explore Percé and its legendary rock on the A Walk through Percé excursion. The walking tour begins in the Charles Robin sector near the wharf in Percé village and goes to Saint-Michel Church — the villagers’ place of worship for more than 100 years. Continue down Saint-Michel Street towards Mont-Joli, with its sumptuous summer homes and breathtaking view of Percé Rock. This excursion highlights magnificent buildings and the […]
