Autumn Gold & Gilded Eras – Halifax, Boston & Manhattan

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 14 nights from Quebec City on October 23, 2026, visiting Saguenay, Prince Edward Island and Sydney, with additional stops along the US & Canada East Coast. You get off in Fort Lauderdale, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Crossing 3 borders through the US & Canada East Coast: Canada, United States and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Sapphire Princess takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Quebec City has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 14 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
