Why It's a Deal In comparison, the lowest round-trip fares we found on Kayak are $402 from Boston (Continental), $417 from New York City (Continental), and $591 from Atlanta (multiple airlines)--making this package a particularly good value for those coming from the Atlanta area. Consider that for around $900 more, Maxxim Vacations supplies the five nights' accommodations, the flights between the two cities, the airport-hotel transfers, a dinner, and museum admission, plus the convenience of one-stop shopping.

Trip Details Think you know Canada, eh? Well, did you know about the archipelago of St.-Pierre et Miquelon, a group of islands off the coast of Newfoundland that belong to France? Inspired by our Scouting Report 2007 feature highlighting little-known places, Maxxim Vacations has arranged a special package that allows you to visit arguably the most easterly part of North America (St. John's) and the most westerly point of Europe (St.-Pierre).

The package includes round-trip airfare to St. John's, Newfoundland, on United/Air Canada and five nights' accommodations. You'll spend the first two nights at the modern 403-room Delta St. John's, with a prime downtown location near City Hall and a tendency to attract business travelers. There's a restaurant, Mickey Quinn's, that specializes in local fare, plus a lounge with a pool table, an indoor pool, and babysitting services.

A 45-minute flight on Air Saint Pierre will bring you to the island of the same name, where you'll check in for a two-night stay at Auberge Saint-Pierre, a cozy and brightly painted B&B. As part of the package, you'll dine one evening at La Restaurant La Volerie and receive free admission to the local Heritage Museum.

Another quick flight brings you back to St. John's for a final night before you return to the U.S. You can extend your stay in St. John's for about $93 per person per night or in St.-Pierre for about $54 per person per night, based on availability.

A few tips on what to expect in St.-Pierre: U.S. citizens are required to show a passport upon arrival; the euro is the official currency, but Canadian and U.S. dollars are widely accepted; and, as in any self-respecting, slow-paced European town, most shops and businesses are closed Saturday afternoons and Sundays.
