With New England-to-Canada cruises done for the season, I thought I’d bring you up to date on what one cruise line has scheduled for next year.
Princess will have 11 cruises next fall, featuring three itineraries.
My favourite time of the year for this cruise is September and that’s when most of these are taking place. Many tourists have left for the year and you get the fiery colours in Quebec from the changing of the season. If I have the time when travelling on this route, I attempt to ensure the itinerary has an overnight in Quebec City (above).
Emerald Princess and Caribbean Princess are the ships serving this market.
Caribbean Princess will sail round-trip, 7-day cruises from New York, featuring calls at Halifax, Saint John (for the Bay of Fundy), Bar Harbor
(for Acadia National Park), Boston and Newport (Rhode Island). Caribbean Princess will offer seven departures between September 8 and October 20, 2012.
Emerald Princess sails three Canada & New England, 10-day cruises between New York and Quebec City, featuring calls in Newport, Boston, Bar Harbor, Saint John, Halifax, Sydney (Cape Breton Island) and Charlottetown plus an overnight stay in Quebec City. Emerald Princess departures are between September 26 and October 16, 2012.
Emerald Princess also offers one sailing of this full 12-day East Coast from Quebec City to Fort Lauderdale on October 26. This cruise features an overnight in Quebec City plus calls along the Eastern seaboard in Sydney, Halifax, Bar Harbor, Boston, Newport, New York and Charleston.
All for now.
