Day 5 of 7 days on the Canada and New England Sydney Cape Breton Island in Novia Scotia on ms Zaandam


We booked an excursion from the ship called   “Spirit of the Fiddle”.  Great reviews and it’s right here at the dock.  The ship has booked the whole show so if you want to see it you have to go thur the cruise ship. Hears how HAL describes it.  Experience the musical heritage of Cape Breton -- the Celtic capital of North America.

Convene dockside next to the world's tallest fiddle. From here, you will be taken to a private room for an intimate, award-winning musical performance.

Learn firsthand about Cape Breton Island's unique twist on traditional Celtic music and the foundations of Cape Breton culture. Internationally-renowned performers will entertain you with lyrical songs of the island, traditional fiddle tunes, and a brief introduction to life and music on the island -- then and now.

Kick up your heels and participate in a Cape Breton square set, sing along, clap your hands or stomp your feet as you participate in this ceilidh-style (pronounced "kay-lee", meaning party) experience. It's all about making memories and having fun.

Light refreshments are served during the performance -- don't miss trying the traditional Cape Breton oatcakes.
