"The history of jazz is a fascinating voyage in itself. Starting in New Orleans, its influence has crossed continents with the movements of peoples and advances in civilisation. Our cruise will take you into the very heart of jazz music’s heritage.
It’s time for a unique experience, of being immersed in magnificent nature in close contact with the artists. A tribute to the legendary Oscar Peterson and Canadian jazz figures will accompany you on this voyage to the north, the final destination being New York City to celebrate the myth of American Jazz and its legends, Miles and Coltrane. We are hosting on board the prestigious Jazz at Lincoln Center in the form of Jason Olaine, its Vice-President of Programming, and Camille Thurman in a quartet… a captivating blend of tradition and innovation.
It will also be an opportunity to meet two renowned personalities in the jazz world, Maurin Auxéméry, Artistic Director of the Montréal Jazz Festival, the largest in the world, and musicologist and writer Ashley Khan who will enlighten us and share anecdotes that pepper the great history of jazz.
Come and share the stage with superb artists and indulge your passion for jazz in a fabulous setting."

Hughes Kieffer
Director and programmer since 2016 for the Festival Marseille Jazz des cinq continents, Hugues Kieffer knew the structure well since he was its technical director since its creation in 2000. He has inherited a very powerful artistic line for which he has gathered all his skills and work habits. His experience in the organization of cultural events has been organized for 30 years, in the field, for public service projects with local and national institutions. Openness, co-production, co-construction, the objective of these adventures remains the pooling of particular contributions and this is what characterizes Marseille Jazz from the five continents today. A graduate in communication and language science in 1984, at the heart of a decade that put art and culture at the center of urbanity, Hugues Kieffer works on the link between artists and the public. Jazz was an obvious choice for him. His conception of jazz reflects the world, mixed, globalized and modern. According to Hugues Kieffer, "It's a demanding music that offers beautiful spaces of freedom".

In den gepflasterten, von schönen Gebäuden aus dem 17. Jahrhundert gesäumten Gässchen ist die Geschichte dieses malerischen Städtchen spürbar. An einigen Häuser weht noch die britische Flagge, wie ein Souvenir aus vergangenen Zeiten.

Die größte Stadt der USA ist aus mehr als einem Grund faszinierend. Mit ihren fünf äußerst weitläufigen Stadtbezirken – Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx und Staten Island – bietet sie eine unglaubliche Zahl an kulturellen Aktivitäten. Es ist ein Vergnügen, das ständige Schauspiel auf dem Times Square zu beobachten, sehr schöne antike Werke im Metropolitan Museum of Art zu entdecken, inmitten der 341 Hektar des Central Parks spazieren zu gehen oder auf die Aussichtsplattform der Freiheitsstatue zu steigen. Kein Wunder, dass sich der „Große Apfel“ – einer der Beinamen der Stadt – uneingeschränkt genießen lässt!
Discover the charm of the old town by exploring its historic and natural sites, then go along the Saint Lawrence River to admire the spectacular scenery of Montmorency Falls. Without forgetting the unmissable gourmet break at a maple farm.
Walk in the magnificent Battlefields Park, which is on the site of the historic battle at which the French surrendered to the British in 1759. Also known as the Plains of Abraham and nestling on the cliffs overlooking the Saint Lawrence River, it is now a stunning park featuring hills, gardens, monuments and artillery artefacts.
You will then go along the Grande-Allée, a vast avenue edged with shops and café-terraces, to the Parliament Building (Hôtel du Parlement), an impressive Second Empire-style building overlooking the city.
Then, you will travel into the Quebec countryside. A few minutes from the fortified town of Old Quebec, Montmorency Falls offers breathtaking landscapes. You will feel the full power of nature when the water from the Montmorency River tumbles over the cliff to fall into the Saint Lawrence River.
At a maple farm, taste maple taffy - maple syrup boiled and poured onto snow; left to cool down, it is then wrapped around a stick to make a sticky treat.
Finally, you will discover the recently expanded Quebec National Museum of Fine Arts, where art, architecture and nature come together. You will discover the history of art in Quebec via its exhibitions of local artists from all eras.

Dive into Quebec’s history by strolling the cobbled streets of the Old Town. Founded by the French explorer Champlain at the beginning of the 17th century and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is the only fortified city in North America that still has its ramparts.
First of all, you will go to the Place Royale. The stone buildings surrounding this square were once the homes of wealthy merchants. Built and rebuilt several times, the square remains the heart of the Lower Town as well as the home of North America’s oldest stone church, Notre-Dame-des-Victoires.
At the corner of the square, discover the charming pedestrian district of Petit-Champlain. Scattered along its narrow cobblestone streets are an array of quaint boutiques, speciality shops and outdoor cafés with strolling musicians and street performers.
You will then board the funicular that connects the Lower Town to the Upper Town. Perched on a hill overlooking the St. Lawrence River, Château Frontenac is Quebec’s best-known landmark. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and William Mackenzie King met here to discuss the Allied strategy during the Second World War. Now a luxury hotel, this château inspired by the French Renaissance and the châteaux of the Loire Valley is designated a National Historic Site of Canada. You will be able to make the most of a guided tour.
Adjoining the château, the Dufferin Terrace forms a belvedere overlooking the waterway. Enjoy the spectacular views over the St. Lawrence River, the town of Lévis on the opposite bank, the Ile d'Orléans and the Laurentian Mountains. You will then explore the fortress district passing Place d’Armes, the Quebec Seminary, the Ursuline Convent, Place de l’Hôtel de Ville, and the Artists Alley.

Possessing one of the world’s lost beautiful bays, flanked by its large hotel with its characteristic red roof, Tadoussac is a picture-postcard village. Walk around this superb territory located at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence River and the Saguenay fjord.
Life goes by peacefully in this village of 800 souls lulled by the whisper of the waves and the salty air. While the history of the village of Tadoussac goes back to the arrival of Europeans on the American continent, the site itself was occupied by native communities from prehistoric times. Moreover, the origin of the word “tadoussac” finds its roots in Indian vocabulary. Tadoussac experienced the fur trade from the 17th to the 19th century, then the timber industry, before becoming a popular holiday destination.
Discover the North Coast’s typical plant species in Le Jardin de la Grève shoreline gardens. You will then visit the Chauvin Trading Post, a recreation of Canada’s very first fur trading post, with an exhibition focused on first contacts, the trading post and trading.
You will visit the Grand Hôtel Tadoussac, a superb wooden building overlooking Tadoussac Bay and the Saint Lawrence River. Its white wall, red roof, dormer windows and spectacular copula bestow an old-world charm upon it. Admire the old photos decorating the hotel lobby. You will make yourself comfortable and enjoy a cup of tea, at local café, while contemplating the bay.
Before leaving, you will visit the Little Chapel located on the property, also called the Indian Chapel. It is the oldest wooden church in North America, having been constructed in 1747 by Jesuit missionaries who came to convert the local population to Christianity. It houses religious objects that were used over two and a half centuries ago.

From the cider works to the designers’ workshop, via the Sea Museum and Cap Hérissé, discover the various faces of the Magdalen Islands and its inhabitants.
Le Verger de Poméloi orchard is planted on the heights of the Magdalen Islands, overlooking the sea, and will plunge you into a kingdom ruled by the apple. Éloi Vigneau has been passionate about agriculture since his teenage years and started to plant his first apple trees in 1990 as part of an experimental project. From year to year, he followed the growth of the saplings in the local climate, as they faced the wind and sea air. 18 years later, he runs a small cider works and distillery producing excellent beverages while respecting the environment.
Then you will head for the Sea Museum. The permanent exhibition, called Laboureurs du Golfe, recounts the archipelago’s history, which is of course connected to the evolution of maritime practices. Objects and photographs tell stories of fishermen and shipwrecks, the development of ships and lighthouses, seal hunting, etc.
Not far from there is the Atelier Côtier workshop, a creative space coupled with a store where “8 friends and 1 dog have fun making beautiful things”. Here, the sand of the islands is transformed into singular sculptures, and the landscapes inspire the creation of design or decoration objects, clothing or jewellery.
To finish, you will head to the north of the island to admire the incredible jagged cliffs of Cap Hérissé.

Renowned for its stunning scenery and rich cultural history, the Magdalen Islands archipelago can also claim a fine culinary heritage, constantly renewed by passionate artisans, like the dairy, smokehouse and the brewery that await you here.
First stop: the Pied-de-Vent dairy, a delicious example of Madelinot perseverance and craftmanship. In just a few years, the artisans working here have successfully developed cheeses that are popular all over the country. Their secret is their great love for their terroir combined with a savvy blend of tradition and modernity, as you will discover during your visit of the farm, followed by a tasting.
Then, after coming along the lovely Chemin de la Pointe Basse, scattered here and there with typical painted houses and farms – with small closed porches, consoles and corbels, verandas but also painted or stained cedar shingles which are reminiscent of the Acadian and French origins of their first inhabitants -, you will discover the Fumoir d’Antan. Now an eco-museum dedicated to herring smoking, this typical smokehouse brings to life this last vestiges of what was a very important industry in the past. It has been used for three generations to smoke herring, mackerel, salmon and scallops; you will find out all about its history before tasting some specialities.
Then go along the northern coast of the island and the aptly named Cap-Hérissé, which is home to spectacular sheer and rugged cliffs that have been sculpted by the sea, before your final port of call: the À l’abri de la Tempête brewery. Here, local ingredients reign supreme. The brewers started using locally malted barley, then moved on to harvesting and using fresh flowers, marine algae and herbs from the area, to brew unique full-flavoured beers that you will have the pleasure of tasting.

During a unique excursion, plunge into the past of the Fortress of Louisbourg, where each stone tells the story of an emblematic era. Imagine yourself back transported back in time to the era of New France, where this impressive fortress stood proudly on the shores of Cape Breton Island, protecting French interests in the New World.
It is the partial reconstruction of the most extensive colonial town in North America. An 18th-century French building, the Fortress of Louisbourg represents an essential part of Cape Breton history. As you cross the massive gates to the fortress, you will be enveloped by the fragrance of history. The cobblestones beneath your feet will resonate to the clicking of soldiers’ boots and the shouts of the merchants bustling in the narrow streets. You will find yourself at the heart of a living recreation, where characters in period costumes attend to their day-to-day business.
As you explore the impressive ramparts, the view over the Atlantic Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, as a reminder of the strategic importance of this fortress built to deal with the threat of invasion during the turbulent times of the expansion of the British Empire. Thanks to the efforts and work accomplished by Parks Canada and the Fortress Louisbourg Association, soak up the yesteryear atmosphere and enter the dozen or so buildings that are open to visitors, including three authentic 18th-century restaurants.
In visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg, you will relive a chapter of history as you explore the site by yourself, follow a guided tour and see demonstrations of music, dancing, cookery, military exercises, etc. In addition, you can bring back a little taste of the past, with bread from the Boulangerie du Roi and sweets from Café Destouches.

From the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum to a panoramic walk through the city’s emblematic sites, discover Boston from a different perspective and dive into the fascinating history of the capital of Massachusetts.
Boston, renowned for its rich historic and cultural heritage, has a host of treasures to offer, including the emblematic John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, dedicated to the former US president. At Columbia Point, between the walls of the building designed by the iconic architect I.M. Pei, explore the history of the Kennedy administration through a multitude of art work, personal artifacts, rare videos and historic documents. A special section is devoted to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, highlighting her elegance (some of her outfits are displayed here), her grace and her impact as First Lady.
Following this dive into the Kennedy era, set off on a panoramic visit of Boston. Cross Copley Square and its emblematic buildings, wind your way through the historic streets of the Beacon Hill neighbourhood, admire the Massachusetts State House and its golden dome, the Freedom Trail and the King's Chapel.

Dive into Quebec’s history by strolling the cobbled streets of the Old Town. Founded by the French explorer Champlain at the beginning of the 17th century and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is the only fortified city in North America that still has its ramparts.
First of all, you will go to the Place Royale. The stone buildings surrounding this square were once the homes of wealthy merchants. Built and rebuilt several times, the square remains the heart of the Lower Town as well as the home of North America’s oldest stone church, Notre-Dame-des-Victoires.
At the corner of the square, discover the charming pedestrian district of Petit-Champlain. Scattered along its narrow cobblestone streets are an array of quaint boutiques, speciality shops and outdoor cafés with strolling musicians and street performers.
You will then board the funicular that connects the Lower Town to the Upper Town. Perched on a hill overlooking the St. Lawrence River, Château Frontenac is Quebec’s best-known landmark. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and William Mackenzie King met here to discuss the Allied strategy during the Second World War.

Possessing one of the world’s lost beautiful bays, flanked by its large hotel with its characteristic red roof, Tadoussac is a picture-postcard village. Walk around this superb territory located at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence River and the Saguenay fjord.
Life goes by peacefully in this village of 800 souls lulled by the whisper of the waves and the salty air. While the history of the village of Tadoussac goes back to the arrival of Europeans on the American continent, the site itself was occupied by native communities from prehistoric times. Moreover, the origin of the word “tadoussac” finds its roots in Indian vocabulary. Tadoussac experienced the fur trade from the 17th to the 19th century, then the timber industry, before becoming a popular holiday destination.
Discover the North Coast’s typical plant species in Le Jardin de la Grève shoreline gardens. You will then visit the Chauvin Trading Post, a recreation of Canada’s very first fur trading post, with an exhibition focused on first contacts, the trading post and trading.
You will visit the Grand Hôtel Tadoussac, a superb wooden building overlooking Tadoussac Bay and the Saint Lawrence River. Its white wall, red roof, dormer windows and spectacular copula bestow an old-world charm upon it. Admire the old photos decorating the hotel lobby. You will make yourself comfortable and enjoy a cup of tea, at local café, while contemplating the bay.
Before leaving, you will visit the Little Chapel located on the property, also called the Indian Chapel. It is the oldest wooden church in North America, having been constructed in 1747 by Jesuit missionaries who came to convert the local population to Christianity. It houses religious objects that were used over two and a half centuries ago.

From the cider works to the designers’ workshop, via the Sea Museum and Cap Hérissé, discover the various faces of the Magdalen Islands and its inhabitants.
Le Verger de Poméloi orchard is planted on the heights of the Magdalen Islands, overlooking the sea, and will plunge you into a kingdom ruled by the apple. Éloi Vigneau has been passionate about agriculture since his teenage years and started to plant his first apple trees in 1990 as part of an experimental project. From year to year, he followed the growth of the saplings in the local climate, as they faced the wind and sea air. 18 years later, he runs a small cider works and distillery producing excellent beverages while respecting the environment.
Then you will head for the Sea Museum. The permanent exhibition, called Laboureurs du Golfe, recounts the archipelago’s history, which is of course connected to the evolution of maritime practices. Objects and photographs tell stories of fishermen and shipwrecks, the development of ships and lighthouses, seal hunting, etc.
Not far from there is the Atelier Côtier workshop, a creative space coupled with a store where “8 friends and 1 dog have fun making beautiful things”. Here, the sand of the islands is transformed into singular sculptures, and the landscapes inspire the creation of design or decoration objects, clothing or jewellery.
To finish, you will head to the north of the island to admire the incredible jagged cliffs of Cap Hérissé.

Renowned for its stunning scenery and rich cultural history, the Magdalen Islands archipelago can also claim a fine culinary heritage, constantly renewed by passionate artisans, like the dairy, smokehouse and the brewery that await you here.
First stop: the Pied-de-Vent dairy, a delicious example of Madelinot perseverance and craftmanship. In just a few years, the artisans working here have successfully developed cheeses that are popular all over the country. Their secret is their great love for their terroir combined with a savvy blend of tradition and modernity, as you will discover during your visit of the farm, followed by a tasting.
Then, after coming along the lovely Chemin de la Pointe Basse, scattered here and there with typical painted houses and farms – with small closed porches, consoles and corbels, verandas but also painted or stained cedar shingles which are reminiscent of the Acadian and French origins of their first inhabitants -, you will discover the Fumoir d’Antan. Now an eco-museum dedicated to herring smoking, this typical smokehouse brings to life this last vestiges of what was a very important industry in the past. It has been used for three generations to smoke herring, mackerel, salmon and scallops; you will find out all about its history before tasting some specialities.
Then go along the northern coast of the island and the aptly named Cap-Hérissé, which is home to spectacular sheer and rugged cliffs that have been sculpted by the sea, before your final port of call: the À l’abri de la Tempête brewery. Here, local ingredients reign supreme. The brewers started using locally malted barley, then moved on to harvesting and using fresh flowers, marine algae and herbs from the area, to brew unique full-flavoured beers that you will have the pleasure of tasting.

Imagine yourself back transported back in time to the era of New France, where this impressive fortress stood proudly on the shores of Cape Breton Island, protecting French interests in the New World.
It is the partial reconstruction of the most extensive colonial town in North America. An 18th-century French building, the Fortress of Louisbourg represents an essential part of Cape Breton history. As you cross the massive gates to the fortress, you will be enveloped by the fragrance of history. The cobblestones beneath your feet will resonate to the clicking of soldiers’ boots and the shouts of the merchants bustling in the narrow streets. You will find yourself at the heart of a living recreation, where characters in period costumes attend to their day-to-day business.
As you explore the impressive ramparts, the view over the Atlantic Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, as a reminder of the strategic importance of this fortress built to deal with the threat of invasion during the turbulent times of the expansion of the British Empire. Thanks to the efforts and work accomplished by Parks Canada and the Fortress Louisbourg Association, soak up the yesteryear atmosphere and enter the dozen or so buildings that are open to visitors, including three authentic 18th-century restaurants.
In visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg, you will relive a chapter of history as you explore the site by yourself, follow a guided tour and see demonstrations of music, dancing, cookery, military exercises, etc. In addition, you can bring back a little taste of the past, with bread from the Boulangerie du Roi and sweets from Café Destouches.
