Maritime Escape – Saint John, Halifax & Sydney
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 8-night sailing from Norfolk on October 3, 2026 visits Saint John, Halifax and Sydney. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 3 port calls start. Old harbours, fresh lobster, and autumn leaves if you time it right. Classic New England stuff. Keep an eye out for Sydney: Where the Opera House meets the harbour. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Sunshine has 15 dining spots on board, most of them included. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 8 nights well spent.
