Gilded Atlantic – Newport, Boston & Halifax

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from New York on October 3, 2026 and visits Newport, Boston, Saint John and Halifax. The pace is well balanced: 2 sea days mixed in so there's no rush between stops. 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, Majestic Princess takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. New York has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in New York and come back with stories from United States and Canada.
