Several ships cruise to Canada/New England each year.
Holland America devotes a ship to the region for the entire summer cruising between Boston and Montreal.
A few others add occasional summer trips of varying lengths, but most of them don't get as far as Quebec.
It is the changing leaves of autumn that attract most cruisers, and a broad choice of cruise lines arrive to accommodate us.
Perhaps like us, you have family in the region, expanding the itinerary beyond cruise ports.
Whether you venture as far afield as Pennsylvania, you definitely should try to spend a bit of extra time in the bookend ports of the cruise, because they are world class cities. Take the time to play tourist, as we did in New York City this time, even if you've been there several times.
Increasingly, cruise lines include an overnight stay in these great cities, such as Princess does with its "More Ashore" program for an overnight in Quebec, making it unnecessary to add a hotel at the end of the cruise.
Below are links to all of the "chapters" of our trip's story, where you can catch a glimpse of what we found along our way. Hopefully it will help you choose to cruise in this remarkable region.

What will you find on a Canada/New England cruise?
Each journey is personal, so you need to discover that for yourself.
