All Aboard for the Best About Cruising!

Canada is one of our closest neighbors, but many do not know a whole lot about it. Alive with rich history and a dynamic cultural heritage, Canada is a great place to take your family and explore. Now, thanks to the US passport card, taking a vacation to Canada has become more accessible and convenient.

Canada’s history goes back over 26,000 years ago when the Aboriginal Paleo-Indians roamed the land. Regarded as Canada’s first discoverers, these people harness the land and adapted to the harsh environment, and they are still around today. Their cultural influence is vast and is seen in much of North America’s culture, from lacrosse to maple syrup. Music, art, dance, and languages still flourish even in Canada’s city life. With such a prominent influence still felt today, a trip to Canada quickly becomes a very unique experience.

Traveling to Canada is easy. You only need to hop in your car and drive, no plane ticket required. The passport card, a relatively new take on the original passport book, is making vacation accessible to even more people. At only $30, the passport card allows you and your family to take a trip for only a fraction of the cost of a passport book. The passport card is used for land and sea travel, opening up so many opportunities for families to get away for a little. Without having to empty your pockets, you and your family can take a vacation to Canada and see for yourself what makes it so great.

Canada’s rugged terrain makes for a great adventure with your whole family. Arctic safaris, as they are called, take you to a side of Canada many haven’t seen in Somerset Island, Nunavut. You can dig for fossils, hear belugas singing to each other, or see the seals playing in the water. Pitch your super-duty tent and try to stay up until the sun sets, which is at 2 am! Or, stay up even later and try to catch a glimpse of an aurora dancing in the sky.

Montreal is the place is to go if you crave the nightlife scene. World famous clubs and lounges line the streets and performances are always in motion. Delicious food is served in chic restaurants around the clock. See the Cirque du Soleil and bask in the Montreal’s vibrant cultural atmosphere. If you want to party in style, then Montréal is your city.

Niagara Falls is one of Canada’s most famous landmarks, and it offers something fun for every member of your family. Suit up and take the Maid of the Mist under the falls or see them from the dry interior of a helicopter. Niagara Falls is suitable for the whole family, and no Canadian trip would be complete without it.

Canada is the perfect place if you’re looking for a different setting without traveling too far. And with your United States passport card, getting there is even easier. There is no need to step foot on a plane. Canada has something for everyone, whether you prefer adventure over spa treatments or great food over great views. Either way, all you need is a sweater and your passport, and Canada is yours for the discovering.
