Canada & New England Cruises
Blazing autumn color, lobster on the pier and colonial harbors. Canada & New England cruises trace the northeast coast from New York and Boston to the St. Lawrence.
A Canada & New England cruise is the classic fall-foliage voyage: sail the rugged northeast coast to Bar Harbor, Portland, Boston, Halifax, the Bay of Fundy, Sydney’s Cabot Trail, Saguenay and Quebec City. Lighthouses, lobster, whales and blazing autumn color line the route — and a cruise specialist matches the ship, ports and peak-foliage dates.
