Sydney Cruises

With easy access to the highlands national park, Bras d’Or Lake and Cabot Trail coastal road, Sydney – the historic capital of Cape Breton – is the gateway to exploring the island’s rugged, unspoiled scenery. It’s also well-placed for uncovering cultural highlights such as Nova Scotia’s rich Gaelic heritage and the village of Baddeck, where inventor Alexander Graham Bell spent the last 37 years of his life. In addition, the city has a fascinating past, having once been home to thriving steel and coal industry. Strolling along the boardwalk will bring you to the city’s famous fiddle and bow sculpture, while Petersfield Provincial Park, about 15 minutes away by car, boasts an array of monuments and fantastic harbour views.
