If you are looking for a typical cruise, head to the Caribbean. If you are looking for something different, something extraordinary, something off-beat, then you belong on a cruise to New England and Canada. With countless historical sites, vineyards, and centuries-old mansions, you'll have an action packed Canadian cruise. If you go during the right seasons you may even catch the picturesque fall foliage and go on whale watching excursions. One last tip before heading north on a New England cruise for the summer or fall: bring your passport.

Canadian cruises are variable in length, from 4-day cruises to two-week Canadian adventures. Most depart from Northeastern cities, with Boston and New York City being the two largest ports. Some cruise lines offer one-way Canadian cruises that stop at more ports than the typical Canadian/NE cruise, so you get to see more sites and stop at the more popular port cities for longer lengths of time.
Popular New England and Canada cruise destinations include Martha’s Vineyard, St. John’s, Bar Harbor, Newport, Montreal, Prince Edward Island, Sydney, Quebec City, Saint John, Gloucester and Halifax.
