Major cruise lines will be stopping in Quebec and the Maritimes |
||||||||||||||||
|
Ships that will be homeporting in cities like
Boston,
New York,
Baltimore, Montreal and
Quebec City do for the most part
sail to cities in the Maritimes and Quebec, as well as the northeastern U.S. Most major cruise lines are participating in this region's sailing season - some with a few cruises, others with a series that operate from early summer to late summer or fall, offering port-heavy itineraries of five to 14 days. Holland America has a 13-day, one-way cruise on the Veendam from New York to Montreal. The ship makes a few U.S. stops before porting in Saint John, Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown, Gaspé, Saguenay and (for an overnight) Quebec City. HAL's Maasdam is being repositioned from the north to the south in October. Maasdam will start in Montreal and stop in Quebec City, Saguenay, Baie Comeau, Gaspé, Charlottetown, Sydney and Halifax, plus two U.S ports en route to the warmer climes of Fort Lauderdale. Princess Cruises' Emerald Princess is offering the same type of repositioning cruise, embarking in Quebec City at the end of October. Norwegian Cruise Line have a 14-day trip on the Norwegian Dawn which offers a lot more Quebec City time, starting and finishing there with a heavy Canadian itinerary that includes two stops in Halifax. For people with time constraints, Norwegian also has seven-day, one-way trips between Quebec City and Boston through September and October. Even Cunard is getting in on the act. The venerable liner Queen Mary 2 offers Britons a cruise that starts in Southampton, but is also available for North Americans wishing to board in New York. This September cruise is round-trip out of the Big Apple and, again, there's an overnight in Quebec City. On the smaller-ship side, the deluxe cruise line Oceania will have its Regatta sailing from New York to Montreal with only two cruising days on its 12-day voyage. The Disney Magic will be a regular in the Maritimes with shorter return trips (five days) out of New York that include stops in Halifax and Saint John.
