How much time do you have?
Newfoundland. Anything less than 3 weeks is one awful tease. & you can consider going via Labrador and the North Shore of the St. Lawrence too. There is a recent thread on rving via Labrador. Also check my signature pics.
QC, historic Quebec City, Forillion National Park....
NB going: Acadian Historic Villiage (living History), Hartland longest covered bridge, either way: Fundy tides and parks,
NS going: 5 islands Provincial Park, Farmer's Daugther store in Whycocomagh, drive Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Meat Cove..
Cross over North Sydney to Port aux Basques, Codroy Valley, Corner Brook, one week for Gros Morne National Park includihg hiking, boat tours, 2 visitors centres, Cow Head Theatre, esp Tempting Providence, Northern Peninsula especially Viking sites and St. Anthony. Go up NP one way, come down another. Meander across the island to St. John's - Lots of selections. While on east. Bird Sancturary Cape St. Mary's
Come back to Port aux Basques for return. Consider Red Indian Lake and Burgeo en route.
Like I said, minimum of 3 weeks for NL.
Return NS. Fortress of Louisbourg, living history, Historic Halifax, boat Bluenose II reconstruction, historic Yarmouth,
Take ferry Caribou to PEI, Orwell Corner Village historic Village including animals, historic Charlottetown, Charlottetown Farmers Market Saturday morning. New Glasgow Lobster Suppers, Buffaloland Provincial Park, Brudenell CG, Mill River CG.& more.
You pay when you leave PEI, not when you come. Bridge costs less.
Go via Saint John and do Saint John City Market. Might be better to do Fundy going. Take ferry to Grand Manan Island*. You might want to do ferry to Deer Island then Campobello Island with International Bridge to Lubec, ME. Or you can go via St. Andrews to St. Stephen and some interesting coastal cruising via Route 1. Lots like Bar Harbour
*There is a current thread on Grand Manan
The interstate highway and Highway 9 are boring. More interesting, IMHO is Bangor, Skowegan, Island Pond, QC. Of course you miss Mount Washington that way.....
Sites which are one off or only ones like that for planet: Gros Morne National Park, Bay of Fundy has the highest tides on the planet, L'Anse aux Meadows Viking Village is only one for the continent

How much time will you have? I'd recommend allowing a lot for Newfoundland. It's a big island and you probably know ferry costs a bundle to get there and back. Worth it! A special place. We spent three weeks there last year and covered a lot of ground. Already thinking about when we'll head back up.
All told, we spent two months - to visit Maine's coast, the NB coast, PEI, Nova Scotia (Halifax and Cape Breton Island) and Newfoundland. Kept busy, glad we had that many weeks.
