ADVERTISING FEATURE CRUISE & STAY MORE US ADD-ONS
Other cruise combinations worth crossing the Atlantic for, as suggested by Jane Archer
E Miami: Kick back on Miami Beach, indulge in Cuban flavours in Little Havana or explore Cuban heritage at the recently reopened Freedom Tower – then depart from the sizeable terminal, homeport for the likes of Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages, Norwegian Cruise Line and Oceania Cruises.
E New Orleans: The Big Easy has history, culture, live bands playing on almost every street corner, a sprawling French Market and the world’s oldest continuously operating streetcar. Add a three-night stay to Mississippi or Caribbean voyages from the city with American Cruise Lines, Viking or Carnival Cruise Line.
E Chicago: The Windy City has stunning architecture (see it best on a guided boat trip), one of the finest art galleries in the US, the mirrored Bean sculpture and beaches along the shore of Lake Michigan that come alive in summer. Pair it with Viking’s Great Lakes cruises from Milwaukee, a mere 90-minute hop, skip and jump away.
EWashington DC: The US capital is home to the White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and world-class museums, with free entry to lots of must-see sights. All good reasons to add a few nights to American Cruise Lines’ Chesapeake voyages from DC or Royal Caribbean’s sailings from Baltimore, which is an hour away.
E Las Vegas: You can’t cruise from Los Angeles with Norwegian Cruise Line or Princess Cruises and not add three or four nights in Sin City. Not to lose at the tables, but to catch a show such as Cirque du Soleil and top-name acts such as the Eagles, watch dancing fountains and stay in hotels featuring canals and rollercoasters.
E Boston: An easy add-on to fall foliage sailings with lines including HAL, Princess and Windstar Cruises, Boston is where the American Revolution started. The 2.5-mile Freedom Trail tells the story. Visit the original Cheers bar or Quincy Market for lobster rolls.
