Why you should embark on a no-fly Canada & New England cruise with Princess Cruises

What if we told you that you can explore the vast land of Canada & New England without having to step foot on a plane?

Well, Princess Cruises makes this dream a reality with plenty of tempting offers to admire vast natural landscapes and ports brimming with history from the convenience of Southampton.

Whether you enjoy indulging in a tasty crab cake in New England or exploring the stunning Acadia National Park in Maine – you’ll lose count of all your new experiences. Trust us, it’s worth writing home about.

So, if you’ve ever considered sailing further afield, then let us inspire you with these two hand-picked Canada & New England cruises with Princess Cruises.

Princess Cruises’ 24-day Canada and New England cruise

24 days is the ideal length of a true adventure cruise – not only will you be able to fully appreciate and explore the ship on your seven initial sea days while sailing to your first destination, but you’ll also visit eight stunning ports.

Like your first port of call, Boston in Massachusetts, which is a city that boasts countless heritage landmarks due to being one of America’s first notable cities, with an impressive almost 400 years of history.

Of course, no visit to Boston is complete without tasting some mouth-watering food from High Street Place – which is a food court that features everything from artisanal doughnuts to bagels stuffed full of every filling imaginable.

Walk off your full stomach through the public gardens afterwards and admire the gorgeous flowers surrounding a statue of George Washington.

Another stand-out port of call is Quebec City in Canada, where you’ll overnight to get the full experience of this European-like capital.

The first thing you may notice is that Quebec is North America’s only walled city which frames the vast history that is waiting for you to explore. Like admiring the St Lawrence River that runs through the city or riding the historic funicular to get a gorgeous view over Old Quebec.

And Princess Cruises gives you a range of extensive excursions in Quebec, so you can learn as much about Quebec as you please.

Whether this is through the ‘Walking Tour of Historic Quebec’ excursion or exploring an impressive waterfall around 90 feet higher than Niagara Falls on the ‘Montmorency Falls & Sainte-Anne-De-Beaupré’ excursion.

Other fabulous ports of call include Bar Harbor in Maine, Halifax in Canada and St. John’s (Newfoundland) in Canada. With this itinerary departing September 23, 2023, onboard Sky Princess, this cruise isn’t one to miss.

If 24 days simply isn’t enough or perhaps your cruise calendar is full for this year, then we have just the cruise for you.

Visiting an impressive 12 ports of call, this itinerary is also a roundtrip from Southampton (phew!), departing September 15, 2024, onboard Sky Princess.

Beyond the delights of also visiting Boston and Quebec City, you’ll be able to explore the one, the only – the big apple.

New York can only be done one way on a cruise, and that is by overnighting in this electric city. Princess Cruises has worked this overnighter seamlessly into their itinerary, sandwiches between Halifax in Canada and Newport in Rhode Island.

To absorb all the sights in one handy trip, ensure you buy tickets to the ‘hop on hop off New York city tour, classic 1 day ticket with transfer to city centre’.

This easy tour whisks you straight from the ship and into Times Square to embark on an open-top bus, which takes you to over 30 of the major sights across Downtown and Uptown New York.

During this cruise, Princess Cruises also takes you to the memorable Corner Brook in Canada, which is known amongst cruisers for the stunning scenery of the Blomidon Mountains that surround the ship as you sail into port.

Once disembarked, you’ve got the visit the Captain Cook monument as well as admire the maps that he created as the first person to survey the Bay of Islands.

Alternatively, if you think of yourself as a thrill seeker, then don’t hesitate to book the ‘Steady Brook Falls zip-line adventure’ excursion, where you’ll travel up to 19 miles an hour for 2,000 feet long at 285 feet high – so it’s no surprise that the views are unbeatable.

Of course, we could write about these gorgeous ports of call all day so why not go and experience what all the fuss is about for yourself – and who better to cruise with than Princess Cruises?
