21 COVER STORY AUTUMN GLORY
We go into Spring this year with a look ahead to another season full of cruise promise – Autumn, and the great Fall
Foliage period of the New England and Canada region. This is genuinely one of the fastest-growing of all areas in the great cruise pantheon, and it is easy to see why
when you take a typical voyage through the heart of what is a vast and varied territory.
From Montreal, along the great St Lawrence Seaway via Quebec, it takes in Nova Scotia and historic ports like Halifax and St John before continuing down into the USA and the full New England region highlighted by cities such as Portland, Bar Harbour and Boston. More than anything, it is also a thinking person’s cruise as it provides a lot of unexpected and in-depth opportunities to visit places and unearth history that will surprise and amaze in equal measure. You just need to give it a try.
