Coastal Getaway – Halifax & Boston

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from New York on September 12, 2026 visits Halifax, Saint John, Boston, Portland and Newport. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Old harbours, fresh lobster, and autumn leaves if you time it right. Classic New England stuff. Boston stands out. It's Freedom Trail, clam chowder, and cobblestones. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Escape. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 9 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
