Coastal Escape – Portland & Saint John

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 5 nights. This sailing from New York on August 19, 2027 visits Portland and Saint John and makes every day count. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Manhattan skyline to maritime Canada. City energy at one end, quiet fishing towns at the other. Saint John alone is worth the trip, The Bay of Fundy's dramatic tidal wonder. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Firenze keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in New York before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
