Saltwater Tales & Lantern Lit Walks – Boston, Halifax & Portland

From $3,229 per person

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 9 nights from New York on October 1, 2026, visiting Boston, Portland, Halifax and Saint John. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in New York, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Lighthouses, clam chowder, and cold Atlantic air. The East Coast at its most itself. Keep an eye out for Halifax: Maritime warmth on a harbour-front boardwalk. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Independence Of The Seas. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 9 nights well spent.
