Atlantic Highpoints – Boston, Halifax & Sydney
About this cruise
You board in New York on September 30, 2027 for 9 nights visiting Boston, Portland, Saint John, Halifax and Sydney, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Manhattan skyline to maritime Canada. City energy at one end, quiet fishing towns at the other. Sydney stands out. It's Where the Opera House meets the harbour. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Independence Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
