Prince William and Catherine Middleton's Canadian itinerary will focus on youth-related events and will see the couple participate in a number of activities, rather than act as spectators.
The schedule for the newlyweds' first official overseas trip as husband and wife was released on Tuesday by Gov. Gen. David Johnston and Heritage Minister James Moore.
Among their activities, the couple will go canoeing, fly in a bush plane and travel in a naval frigate. They will also attend dragon boat races, the Calgary Stampede and a street hockey game during their stay in Yellowknife.
The royals will arrive on June 30, just ahead of Canada Day, which they will spend in Ottawa taking in key sights and attending festivities.
As one of their first activities in Ottawa, the couple will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier -- the same wreath, made of dry flowers from Vimy Ridge, that was laid by William's father in 2001.
They will also attend a citizenship ceremony in Ottawa and meet new Canadians, as well as take in two Canada Day performances, a party at Rideau Hall and will visit various sights.
The couple will then travel to Montreal where they will spend the day meeting young chefs and visiting a hospital for a day before heading to Quebec City.
In Quebec City they will meet children and young people and attend a community fair.
From there, William and Kate will travel to Prince Edward Island where they will visit Charlottetown and Summerside.
In Charlottetown they will visit Province House, known as the cradle of Confederation. Then the royals will head to Dalvay by the Sea, where William, a helicopter pilot, will participate in a 'waterbird' demonstration where a helicopter lands on the water for a rescue operation.
The couple will also participate in a dragon boat race.
Kate is believed to be a fan of the "Anne of Green Gables" book series, and there has been widespread speculation the couple will visit some key attractions related to Lucy Maud Montgomery's books.
However, the itinerary released Tuesday included no details of any such stops.
Wayne Thibodeau, editor of The Guardian newspaper in Charlottetown, said the royals' visit to the province would be an active one.
"A lot of the activities, when the details are released, you'll notice particularly on Prince Edward Island, have to do with Will and Kate doing things, getting involved in the province and the community instead of just sitting back and watching," Thibodeau told CTV News Channel.
From P.E.I. the royal couple will cross the country to arrive in Yellowknife, N.W.T. where William will participate in a street hockey game, meet Canadian Rangers and canoe to an island where they will have dinner.
The couple will wrap up their tour in Calgary, Alta. from July 6-8, where they will be presented with white Stetson hats, meet Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and where William will take part in a chuck wagon 'barreling" event.
Before departing on July 8, William will declare the Stampede officially open.
The theme of the royal tour is "Moving Forward Together: From Past Accomplishments to Current Service to Future Achievements."
