The favourite time to visit New England is in the Fall when the trees change into their autumn colours.
We offer a range of cruises along the New England coast and Canada's Nova Scotia and Quebec. Choose from cruises between New York and Quebec, in either direction, or 'out and back' cruises between New York and Quebec. Options of hotel stays in New York and Canada extensions to Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto plus Niagara Falls.
Sailing into or out of New York past the Statue of Liberty is an exciting cruise experience. Cruises leave New York late afternoon or return at daybreak depending on direction.
A pre- or post-cruise stay in New York gives time to see the major sights such as the Empire State Building, Liberty Island, Ground Zero, Central Park, and Times Square, plus shopping on Fifth Avenue and maybe a theatre on Broadway.
Newport in Rhode Island is a famous yachting centre, and home to fabulous mansions as the 1920's millionaires vied to build the biggest and best along the coast. The Breakers, built for the Vanderbilts, is one of those visited on shore excursions.
Next call along the coast is Boston, renowned for the infamous 'Tea Party' revolution and home to the Massachusetts state assembly. See the interesting port, historic buildings on the Freedom Trail, and Quincy Market shops - perhaps even the 'Cheers' TV pub.
Bar Harbor in Maine is a lobster fishing centre, with thousands of brightly coloured lobster pot buoys marking the entrance to the harbour. Enjoy a fresh lobster here, tour the interesting shops, and take a trip to Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain for scenic views and autumn foliage.
In Canada, Saint John in New Brunswick is noted for excursions to the Bay of Fundy, site of the world's highest tides.
Most cruises call at Halifax and Sydney in Nova Scotia. Halifax is noted for its Citadel fortress, and has a superb museum about the Titanic and its disaster. Peggy's Cove lighthouse is a popular attraction. Sydney offers excursions to the Cape Breton highlands, and its folk museums reveal the Scottish heritage of the area.
After Nova Scotia the cruise turns west to Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island. Take an excursion to Anne of Green Gables house, or stroll the wood boarded buildings in town. Enjoy superb seafood at the amazing Water Prince Corner Store.
Cruising the St Lawrence river your ship reaches Quebec, with its fascinating blend of France and North America. Walk on the promenade overlooking the St Lawrence and marvel at the immense Chateau Frontenac hotel. Visit the Citadel and enjoy the bustling streets and cafes.
