Princess steaming for Canada/New England
Princess will debut its most extensive Canada/New England season ever next year with an expanded schedule of northeast coast sailings beginning in August, and offering more than 50% additional capacity, according to the cruise line.
”Caribbean Princess will make her debut in the region, and the program will return to Montreal with a new, longer Connoisseur itinerary that offers more opportunities than ever to experience the dramatic fall foliage, quaint towns and rich history of this colorful destination,” says the cruise line.
The extended Canada/New England season will feature 18 voyages on three ships. Itinerary choices include new 11-day Connoisseur sailings on Royal Princess between Montreal and New York; Classic 10-day cruises on Sea Princess between Quebec City and New York, and seven-day roundtrip voyages from New York on Caribbean Princess.
Royal Princess also offers a 17-day Colonial America sailing.
The Connoisseur route also debuts a new port for Princess with calls at New London, Connecticut, the gateway for historic Mystic Seaport and the Mystic Aquarium. This itinerary also offers a cruise up the beautiful Saguenay River and the opportunity to begin or end the voyage in Montreal.
All cruises include Nova Scotia’s picturesque capital of Halifax, Saint John, among other stopovers.
In addition, Royal Princess will also offer a special 17-day Canada & Colonial America voyage from Montreal to Ft. Lauderdale.
For those who want to extend their Canada & New England vacation, Princess offers escorted pre- or post-cruise land tours in conjunction with these sailings, in which passengers can travel back through historic America or spend further time in Canada with a complete cruise tour.
Early booking fares for seven-day Canada & New England sailings begin at $945 per person, while 10-day cruises start at $1,545 and 11-day voyages begin at $2,095, based on double occupancy.
