Quick Tips for Cruising Canada in July

Quick Tips for Cruising Canada in July

1. Dress in layers: Days are mild to warm, but mornings and evenings can be cool. A windbreaker or light jacket is a must.

2. Be bug-aware: Especially during nature hikes or in rural areas — bring insect repellent.

3. Don’t skip sun protection: The cool breeze can be deceiving. A hat and high-SPF sunscreen are essentials.

4. Start port days early: July is peak season. Head out early to explore before the crowds build up.

5. Check for local festivals: Charlottetown’s open-air theater, Halifax’s music festivals — July is packed with local events. Look them up in advance!

6. Eat the fresh catch: Lobster, mussels, salmon — whatever’s freshly landed at the port, order it.

7. Keep your passport handy: U.S.-Canada transitions may require ID or passport checks.
