Is a Canada & New England cruise right for you? Here's Our Cruise Review!

Sit down with us as we talk about our experience cruising to Canada & New England on the Emerald Princess in October 2023. This was our first cruise on the Canada & New England itinerary and our first experience cruising with Princess Cruises. We loved the Princess Experience, and that could be a whole other sit-down video! For now we'll talk about the expectation vs reality of cruising New England in the fall, give a quick overview of our port and tender boat experiences, and are reminded how tiring it can be to WALK 6 ports in 7 days without an excursion.

Thanks for the great information

We are booked on a Princess cruise from Quebec City to Boston. We booked it for nature and culture. By the way, I think the HOHO bus in Halifax will get you close to the Titanic cemetery.

We were actually debating on doing the cruise again this year so thanks so much for the information! If we get to return to Halifax we’ll have to take the bus to the cemetery!

Thanks for the video, we booked I think this same cruise for September of this year on Princess. Mostly, I think like yall, we have done Alaska and the Caribbean and thought it was something different. We figure we will miss he fall colors so we are not expecting that. And I think also like you we dont usually do excursions and just walk a lot at the ports. To be honest we dont even get off the ship at some ports we just hang out on the ship an enjoy the less crowds. Appreciate your thoughts!

One of the ports you might enjoy on the Can/NE cruises, is Saint Pierre France. Its off the coast of Newfoundland. My mom and I went there last summer. Very interesting history and so cool that it is part of France; the € is currency and they have European electrical outlets. Excellent food here! Some of the 10-12 day cruises stop here.

Wow now you’ve got me looking into this as it sounds very interesting:) thanks for the information!

Thank you for the video! We are going on the Enchanted Princess next September for a 7 day cruise (might be 8). Probably way too early for fall colors, but excited to see another part of the country. We just got back from Alaska on Holland America (Westerdam) and that was great!

[@Seek.Find.Travel]

Awesome you will have a great time! We actually really enjoyed the New England cruise and are looking at going again because it was so fun:) Alaska on the Westerdam would be fun we’ve always wanted to checkout that ship! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your video we are going on this cruise last week in Aug 24 we are coming from London, UK we did Alaska cruise last year and loved it. Would you please guide us do we book any excursions? We are couple in are late 50s, fit walking around

Good morning, since you’re coming from UK I would recommend the excursions that the cruise ship offers. If you’re going to Bar Harbor Maine I would definitely go see Cadillac Mountain! Also this is where the first sunrise of the day starts in the United States so awesome to watch in the morning! If you’re going to Portland Maine definitely got to go see the Maine lighthouse (Portland head light) there is also a way cool potato donut shop in downtown Portland that’s awesome! Rhode Island you could do an excursion of one of the Historic Mansions and do the cliff walk! Public transport could take you or you could walk or do excursion. Boston there is awesome city tours to see highlights or you could do Uber from the port into downtown and walk everywhere! Canada ports we just walked and explored as Saint John was low key but fun to explore (walked to market and shops) but they have some low key excursions to see city highlights sandstone cliffs etc Halifax was very walkable also and definitely recommend going to the citadel! If you’re wanting to see titanic history there is a cemetery there that you can do an excursion to or the maritime museum offers some interesting stuff. Halifax has tons of shops as well. New England is known for lobster and fish and chips so definitely recommend getting some! Going at the end of August should be a very fun time to go :) Thanks for watching!
