Northern Latitude – Bar Harbor & Quebec City

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 11-night sailing leaves Philadelphia on September 26, 2026 and visits Portland, Bar Harbor and Saint John, with additional stops along the US & Canada East Coast. You get off in Quebec City, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Lighthouses, clam chowder, and cold Atlantic air. The East Coast at its most itself. Don't rush through Halifax, which is known as Maritime warmth on a harbour-front boardwalk. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Jewel keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Philadelphia before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 8 ports across 11 nights covers a lot.
