Canada & New England
East Coast in Fall
Lighthouses, lobster, and the world's best autumn colour.
A Canada & New England foliage cruise timed to the turning leaves, from Boston up to Québec.
Each autumn the eastern seaboard puts on the best colour show on Earth, and the finest seat is a ship's deck. Sailing from Boston or New York, the voyage threads the lighthouses and lobster shacks of New England before crossing to maritime Canada, the tides of the Bay of Fundy, the citadel of Halifax, and the walled, unmistakably French old town of Québec City. Time it to late September and October and the shoreline burns red and gold the whole way north.
