Cruise Description

10 Night Cruise sailing from New York to Quebec City aboard Crystal Serenity.

Embark on a quintessential New England experience as you sail from New York City along the evergreen coastline peppered with classic white clapboard houses towards historic New Port, home to the America's cup and Portland in the Casco Bay. Venture north towards Canada stopping in the picturesque towns of Saint John, New Brunswick, and Halifax, Nova Scotia before sailing to the impressive Gulf of St. Lawrence. Marvel at the natural beauty of Îles-de-la-Madeleines and continue your journey along the Gulf to Québec, where European flair meets North American charm.

Highlights of this cruise:

New York
Being the largest city in the United States, the city that never sleeps will leave you with endless journeys. Take a peaceful bike ride past the wonders of Central Park, see a world class production on the bustling street of Broadway, or find yourself looking at stunning Manhattan views from the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

St John
Here on the Bay of Fundy, a rare phenomenon known as the Reversing Rapids occurs when high bay tides collide with the Saint John River. History is impressive, too, with Canada’s oldest continuously operating farmers’ market and oldest museum. Nearby, Irving Nature Park’s salt marshes, volcanic rock and forests are explored on winding trails.

Halifax
Bagpipers bid a warm welcome to Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia and the most Scottish of all Canada’s great cities. The Citadel Fortress, which dates to the city’s founding in 1749, stands over the thriving downtown area, where modern buildings nestle alongside the exquisitely restored Historic Properties waterfront. Here you can shop for authentic Scottish tartans and superb hand-knit woolens. Nova Scotians claim they have the freshest air and warmest smiles in Canada.

Quebec City
Just northeast of the UNESCO-designated Vieux-Québec (Old Town), Montmorency Falls Park enchants with striking flows that are one and a half times taller than Niagara Falls. Explore the streets of the Old Town presided over by the Château Frontenac for a taste of French-Canadian culture found in classic bistros and cafés, and explore proud French history found in numerous museums.
