New York, Canada & New England

Arrive in New York where you have 3 nights pre-cruise to explore the city.

New York City offers an endless array of things to do and see, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned explorer. Start by taking in iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and Times Square. Explore world-class museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and the American Museum of Natural History. For stunning views, visit the observation decks of the Empire State Building or the One World Observatory. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge for breathtaking views of the skyline, or catch a Broadway show in the Theatre District for an unforgettable cultural experience. Don’t forget to explore the diverse neighbourhoods like SoHo, Chinatown, and Greenwich Village for their unique vibes and hidden gems.

When it comes to food, New York City is a gastronomic paradise. Indulge in classic New York-style pizza, with a slice from iconic pizzerias like Joe’s Pizza or Lombardi’s. Try a bagel with lox and cream cheese from Russ & Daughters, or grab a street vendor hot dog. For more upscale dining, explore neighbourhoods like the West Village, where you can find Michelin-starred restaurants, or sample international flavours in Queens’ vibrant food scene. If you’re looking to explore, head to Chelsea Market for artisanal food vendors, or take a stroll through Smorgasburg in Williamsburg for a variety of delicious street food. Whether you’re after fine dining or local street food, New York has something to satisfy every palate.

Today a private transfer will take you to the port to join your cruise. This evening you set sail from the iconic New York harbour.

During the 19th century, Newport served as the summer playground for the rich and famous. Residents displayed their fabulous wealth in the form of palatial estates overlooking the Atlantic. Today, these extraordinary and meticulously maintained homes line the city’s famed “Mansion Row” and are a must-see for any visitor.

Portland offers all the amenities of a big city: art districts, a vibrant waterfront, museums, parks and diverse shopping opportunities. But within minutes, you can be enjoying the view from an historic lighthouse or tasting a juicy, local lobster.

This coastal attraction has retained much of its charm since its glory days of the 1900s, when America’s elite vacationed here in opulent summer cottages. Surrounding the rock-bound harbour is the world-famous Acadia National Park where the opulence of nature is on display.

Admire the rugged coastline that surrounds Halifax, the world’s second-largest natural harbour. This beautifully preserved city is Nova Scotia’s capital and was founded in 1749. Take steps through history and climb to The Citadel to witness the Old Town Clock.

Although Champlain landed here in 1604 and named the town, it wasn’t settled until 1783 by Loyalists fleeing the colonies during the American Revolution. Canada’s Maritime Province of New Brunswick is intriguing, with its tidy farms, stately Georgian manors and tea at four. The topography is equally interesting: In a land of vast virgin forests and rushing rivers, fierce tides as high as 53 feet are fueled by the fingerlike Bay of Fundy.

Enjoy a relaxing day at sea.
