Iron Lanterns – Boston, Halifax & Portland

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from New York on October 31, 2026. The route visits Newport, Boston, Portland, Saint John and Halifax and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Manhattan skyline to maritime Canada. City energy at one end, quiet fishing towns at the other. You get around 9 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 keeps you well fed. 9 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
