We invite you to embrace a unique vacation experience. Our fully appointed houseboats offer our guests a chance to enjoy the natural wonder of the beautiful St. John River without disturbing the natural environment. Come and join us for a relaxing stay aboard a “cottage on the water” .

You can bask in the warm sun of the top deck as you listen to the kids’ splash into the cool waters of the river from the waterslide. Or, take your cup of coffee to the back deck in the morning and listen to the call of the loon through the early morning mist. You can dock the boat for the day and play a round of golf on a nationally acclaimed course, or explore the farmer’s market and unique shops on the waterfront. You can curl up with a good book in front of the fireplace, or sip a cool drink under the stars as you sit in the swirling waters of the hot tub on the roof deck. The possibilities are endless.

THE WATERWAY

The Mactaquac Lake region of the St. John River was formed when the Mactaquac Hydroelectric Dam was constructed. This beautiful river is the destination of our houseboats at Lakeway Houseboat Vacations.

You can sail confidently without worry of channels, currents, or tides. This river system provides access to several communities, towns, villages and attractions that are all accessible from our houseboats. The unspoiled beauty of this waterway offers our guests a palette like no other for their best vacation yet.

• New Brunswick

Embrace the differences in New Brunswick

’Home of the World’s Highest Tides, in the province of New Brunswick, you'll find as many wonders on the land as you will by the sea. No matter where you are in the province, you're never far from wide-open spaces, breathtaking sceneries and one-of-a-kind attractions or adventures.

Stroll the streets of a charming seaside city and pick up a souvenir at a quaint gallery or market vendor. Feast on Atlantic salmon hauled out of the river earlier that day. Learn about the fascinating culture of the Acadian and Mi'kmaq people. Take in a festival or outdoor, waterfront concert, go whale watching, play a game of golf, or join an authentic kitchen party. Marvel at the world's highest tides and take a walk on the ocean floor.

When you leave the shores of New Brunswick, you'll leave with a feeling of inner peace and a renewed sense of wonder stemming from the power of nature and real experiences. Seeing is believing.

New Brunswick is home to five Cruise Atlantic Canada members, one partner port and four niche ports.

Located at the mouth of the famous Bay of Fundy, the historic port city of Saint John is bustling with activity and alive with history. There’s a reason why the locals call their city Saint Awesome.

Campobello Island

A part of the archipelago of Passamaquoddy Bay communities along the Maine USA / New Brunswick Canada border, it doesn’t take long to see why the Roosevelts summered on Campobello Island.

Grand Manan Island

Sitting southeast of its fellow niche port of St. Andrews and off the coast of Maine, the island of Grand Manan is a place where you can be as adventurous or tranquil as you like.

St. Andrews

This charming seaside town filled with quaint shops, restaurants, museums and remarkable Bay of Fundy experiences, is part of the archipelago of Passamaquoddy Bay communities along the Maine USA / New Brunswick Canada border.

New Brunswick culture is a fascinating mix influenced by Indigenous, French, British, Scottish and Irish immigrants, that is constantly evolving.

The story begins with ancestors of Indigenous communities, the Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) and Peskotomuhkatiyik (Passamaquoddy) in what we now call, New Brunswick. French immigrants then explored the land, led by Samuel de Champlain and now, their descendants – Acadians – continue to call the province home today.

When the region was ceded to Great Britain in 1710, British immigrants began cultivating the lands, followed by Scottish and Irish immigrants. Since then, many Danish, Jewish, Italian, Greek, Lebanese, Asian, Indian, Pakistani, Syrian and African Canadian communities have been established throughout the major cities of New Brunswick.

Croisières Shediac Bay Cruises

Relax and enjoy the most succulent lobster in the world. Discover Atlantic Canada's best-kept secret and be part of the most interactive lobster adventure anywhere in North America.

A thrilling, educational and culinary experience awaits you as you cruise the pristine waters of captivating Shediac Bay, where you will have the opportunity to participate in the actual fishing and catching of lobster, one of the most prized undersea crustaceans. Watch closely, or help, as we pull a lobster trap out of the deep, ocean water. This tour will allow you to experience how a lobster moves from its kitchen to its living room, right within the confines of the trap. Listen intently as our knowledgeable, amusing tour guide tickles your fancy and leads you step by step, through the delicate and proper process of cracking and eating a delicious, freshly cooked lobster. Enjoy a fisherman's feast of succulent whole lobster, taste-tempting Maritime potato salad and crisp coleslaw, served up right and washed down with your favourite beverage from the licensed bar. (alternates to lobster: barbecue chicken or vegetable lasagna - available on request at time of booking).

After your meal, catch the balmy breezes on our roomy upper deck and marvel at the scenic beauty of our East Coast. Traditional Acadian music is piped out from bow to stern on the Ambassador and resonates in the air as you enjoy a comfortable seat with a splendid view of pure history.

Ron Cormier, a professional lobster fisherman for over 25 years, along with his family, look forward to extending to you the warm hospitality that Acadians are known for. It's time to relax and enjoy the good life. Let us book you a space on the Ambassador so you can enjoy our Lobster Tales Adventure now!

In photos: Extreme solar storm brings spectacular northern lights

By Jintak Han and Kenneth Dickerman | May 11, 2024

Stargazers had a treat on Friday night as an extreme solar storm, the strongest in two decades, caused fantastic auroras to be seen across large swaths of Europe and North America and as far south as Florida in the United States.

The northern lights, formally known as aurora borealis, are caused when a surge of solar particles and energy interacts with the Earth’s magnetosphere, exciting nitrogen and oxygen molecules and releasing photons of light.

Friday’s storm registered as an “extreme” geomagnetic storm at the G5 level, the highest on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s scale — stronger than NOAA forecasts initially predicted. The last extreme storm to hit the Earth, in October 2003, caused power outages and damaged transformers.

Endangered 44-foot whale likely killed by massive cruise ship, dragged into NYC port: experts

A massive cruise ship likely struck and killed an endangered whale before sailing into the East River Saturday morning — and there’s no telling how long the dead mammal was dragged by the boat before it was discovered, according to marine experts.

The 44-foot adult female Sei whale was found as the MSC Meraviglia docked at the Port of Brooklyn, a spokesperson for MSC cruises confirmed.

The unlucky cetacean was removed from the 19-deck ship and towed to Sandy Hook, New Jersey, Tuesday for a necropsy, said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fisheries spokesperson Andrea Gomez — but emphasized it is too soon to tell whether or not the whale was dead before impact.

Rob DiGiovanni, the founder and chief scientist of the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society, however, told The Post it was more than likely that the “interaction with the vessel contributed to her death.”

“It looks like she was eating,” DiGiovanni said, indicating she was a healthy whale with relatively fresh food in her stomach.

The hulking Meraviglia — the same ship that rescued 24 distressed Cuban migrants from a boat off the coast of Florida last year — weighs 171,600 gross tonage and stands 214 feet tall.

When and where the whale was struck remains a mystery, but Sei whales are typically observed in deeper waters far from the coastline, according to NOAA.

They are one of the largest whale species and are internationally protected, with vessel strikes listed as one of the biggest threats to its dwindling population.

The body was “pretty decomposed,” DiGiovanni revealed, but said that does not help professionals lock down a timeline of its death.

The temperature of the water, especially on the higher side, can accelerate the decomposition process by days.

The tragic event is unfortunately not uncommon, according to DiGiovanni, but it’s nearly impossible to track just how often it occurs because the whales could sink to the bottom of the ocean floor after being struck.

Ship staff or guests also might not even notice a striking, considering just how large cruise vessels stand, making even the world’s largest mammal look like an ant.

Such strikes could contribute to the unusual mortuary event in the New York Bight Apex — the waters from Fire Island to the Manasquan Inlet in New Jersey.

Starting in 2016, humpback, Mackey and North Atlantic Right whale deaths skyrocketed from one to three per year to 12 to 14 per year, DiGiovanni said.

The shocking death surge is a tragic side effect of whales flocking to Big Apple waters in higher numbers per year, creating a Catch-22 situation.

While some stay year-round, the amount of whales enjoying the East River jumps as spring rolls around.

“We start to see increases in whale sightings now, so we urge boaters to use caution in the waters,” DiGiovanni said, encouraging ship captains to consider the “Slow: Children at Play” mentality when taking on the open seas.

NOAA reiterated this sentiment: “Mariners operating along the US East Coast are encouraged to slow their vessel speed, stay alert, and report any sightings of right whales or any dead, injured, or entangled whales.”

People in Britain marveled at the unusual and spectacular sight of the northern lights on Friday night, the consequence of a severe solar storm that was brewing and was expected to continue over the coming days.

The northern lights — also known as aurora borealis — usually don’t reach that far south. They are most often seen in higher latitudes closer to the North Pole. People in other European countries, including Denmark and Germany, also reported seeing the lights.

Onlookers marveled at the sight, posting their surprise, delight and sometimes shock on social media. As one user wrote : “Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely over Edinburgh?”

Another onlooker posted , “It really is gorgeous though.”

The northern lights also made appearances in North America, with some people reporting sightings in Maine on Friday night. They occur when the sun expels material from its surface.

The current solar storm is caused by a cluster of sunspots — dark, cool regions on the solar surface. The cluster is flaring and ejecting material every six to 12 hours.

Earlier Friday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center issued a rare warning about the solar outburst, because it could disrupt communications and even power grids.
