Discover Canada and New England with Crystal Cruises
Autumn along the East Coast of Canada and New England is a breathtaking spectacle. The warm hues of the season paint postcard-perfect landscapes, turning every port of call into a living canvas. Crystal Cruises celebrates this magical time of year with a special offer: a generous onboard credit of up to $100 per person per day to use toward shore excursions.
Every shore experience offered by Crystal Cruises in Canada and New England is designed to give guests a unique perspective of each destination, through authentic, carefully curated excursions. Enhancing the exclusivity is Crystal’s expert team, which handles every detail so guests can simply enjoy choosing how they wish to explore. The options are as varied as they are exciting—from sailing aboard an America’s Cup-winning yacht in Newport, Rhode Island, to an unforgettable whale-watching safari in Québec. For those who prefer a slower pace, there’s the refined charm of Kennebunkport in Portland, with its stately historic homes lining one of the most picturesque waterfronts on the Eastern Seaboard.

Among Crystal Cruises‘ itineraries for the fall season in Canada and New England, three standout voyages promise to showcase the beauty and spirit of North America in distinctive and engaging ways.
The first is a roundtrip journey from New York City, capturing all the enchantment of autumn in New England. Guests can stroll through the opulent Gilded Age mansions of Newport—former homes of iconic families like the Vanderbilts and Astors—before heading to the bohemian enclave of Provincetown, affectionately known as “P-Town,” where golden dunes and independent art galleries create a truly creative atmosphere. Boston brings American history to life with its red-brick charm and revolutionary landmarks, while Bar Harbor impresses with dramatic natural scenery and fresh-caught lobster. The journey ends in Saint John, where marine wildlife and stunning coastal views offer an unforgettable nature experience.
For those looking to venture further north, the eight-night sailing from New York to Québec City is a beautiful blend of color, culture, and European flair. After an overnight in vibrant Manhattan, the ship sails to Halifax for another overnight stay, where Scottish heritage is alive in the sounds of bagpipes and shops brimming with tartan. Next is Sydney, Cape Breton Island, where the Highland Village Museum shares stories of Gaelic roots and pioneer life. In Charlottetown, literary charm meets scenic beauty—the beloved setting of Anne of Green Gables. Finally, Québec City welcomes guests with timeless elegance and French-Canadian charm, its historic architecture and cobbled streets offering a perfect grand finale.

And for those who prefer a more convenient departure from the East Coast, the roundtrip cruise from Bayonne, just outside New York City, is the ideal choice. After an initial overnight stay, the voyage calls at Newport and Provincetown—where historic grandeur and creative spirit meet—before heading to Boston, rich in revolutionary heritage. In Portland, guests can savor a delicious walking food tour through the Old Port, while Saint John in Canada wows with the dramatic tides of the Bay of Fundy, a paradise for photographers. A relaxing day at sea brings guests back to the unmistakable energy of New York City, eyes full of wonder and hearts full of memories.
