Late September and October bring New England’s famous fall color, and with it one of the most popular cruise seasons on the East Coast. Most voyages sail round trip from Boston or New York, or one-way between New York or Boston and Montréal or Quebec City.
- Typical ports: Newport, Portland, Bar Harbor, Halifax, Sydney (Nova Scotia), Charlottetown, Saint John and Quebec City.
- One-way voyages up the St. Lawrence River end in the old cities of Quebec.
- Book early for October: foliage sailings sell out.

The Great Lakes
The Great Lakes have become a real cruise destination, served by small ships and expedition-style vessels, including Viking’s expedition ships. Voyages link cities such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Toronto and Thunder Bay, with stops at islands, locks and national lakeshores along the way. Ships are small and cabins limited, so plan ahead.
Bermuda
Bermuda sits roughly two days’ sail from the Northeast, and many ships spend two or three nights docked at the Royal Naval Dockyard — one of the most relaxed cruises you can take from New York, New Jersey, Boston or Baltimore.
