Coastal Charmer – Boston & Halifax

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from New York on August 29, 2026 and visits Boston, Portland, Saint John and Halifax. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Lighthouses, clam chowder, and cold Atlantic air. The East Coast at its most itself. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 17 restaurants on Norwegian Escape, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
